PDX Industrial, Multifamily Markets See Improvement During Third Quarter
Oct 28th
Portland’s commercial real estate market saw some improvement during Third Quarter, particularly in the industrial and multifamily markets.
Central City office vacancy rose slightly to 12.88 percent during Third Quarter, with a number of sales of older downtown buildings, including the Medical Dental Building and the Commerce Building (now called Broadway Commons). Suburban office vacancy fell slightly to 23.20 percent. Vancouver vacancy fell significantly to 14.37 percent, with PeaceHealth’s lease at Columbia Center at Columbia Tech Center accounting for 162,000 sf of positive absorption.
The industrial market saw significant improvement during Third Quarter, as vacancy fell more than two percentage points to 14.35 percent, and 916,859 sf was absorbed. Many of the large leases that were signed had long been in the works, including SoloPower’s 225,250 sf lease at Marine Drive Distribution Center.
Retail vacancy remained fairly stable at 6.38 percent. Much of the negative absorption of the quarter could be accounted for by the closures of four local Borders stores, all at around 25,000 sf.
The multifamily market remains healthy, with just 2.78 percent vacancy, and rental rates have risen significantly year-over-year. Institutional investors remain active players in the marketplace, primarily seeking Class A core properties, and development activity should pick up in 2012 and 2013.
