NAI Norris, Beggs & Simpson has released its Fourth Quarter 2010 quarterly reports for office, industrial, retail and multifamily commercial real estate, as well as its economic report.
Office vacancy in Central City decreased to 11.78%, with a few significant leases. Suburban office vacancy fell slightly to 23.88%, with 121,056 sf absorbed. One of the larger leases of the quarter was ACS taking 30,656 sf at Triangle Pointe for a new call center. Vancouver office vacancy rose slightly to 18.7%.
Industrial vacancy fell slightly to 15.01%, with 108,375 sf absorbed. As one recent study showed, the industrial sector is a bright spot in Oregon’s economy, and the Port of Vancouver has recently seen heightened activity with BHP Billiton’s 60-acre lease.
Retail vacancy was stable at 6.4%, with 81,081 sf absorbed. The area’s first H&M opened in November at Pioneer Place, and H&M also leased nearly 20,000 sf at Washington Square. Ross Dress for Less and Dick’s Sporting Goods also signed significant leases during Fourth Quarter.
The Fourth Quarter ended with a flurry of multifamily investment sales. The $79 million sale of Ladd Tower and $70 million sale of the Palladia Apartments were just two of the significant sales of the quarter. Apartment vacancy also fell to 3.09%.
