Orange County Office Rents Take Off Amid Tightening Supply
Orange County continued to see increased competition for a tightening supply of office space that has resulted in rising prices. This thriving hub for financial services, information technology, logistics and health care has continued to attract a talented workforce. The region’s ideal geography and bustling tourism trade contribute to a high quality of life. Orange County boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates in California at 4.3% as of June 2015. Year-to-date, unemployment levels are on track to be significantly lower than the previous year for the county.
As of mid-2015, Orange County’s office vacancy reached 9.5%, after quarter-over-quarter decreases, and this marks a sharp decrease from the mid-year of 2014 when rates were at 11.5%. Office vacancy has hit single digits for the first time since 2007. As vacancy tightens, rental rates are registering a robust increase. At the end of the second quarter of 2015, the average asking rental rate for all classes was $2.18 psf full-service gross (FSG), up from $2.01 psf FSG one year earlier. Rents are increasing each quarter across every major submarket in the county with the highest rents found in the Airport Area at $2.42 psf FSG. The total net absorption for the second quarter of 2015 stayed positive at 562,278 sf, and more than 2.5m sf was recorded for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2015 in Orange County.
There are currently seven investment-grade office properties under construction in the county, amounting to nearly 711,000 sf of new inventory that will be added, almost entirely to the suburban markets. Approximately 73% of the new inventory will be available to the market with the remainder preleased. The largest project is located in Irvine. The 425,000-sf, LEED-Gold development has no prelease commitments. At the mid-point of 2015, there has been one new office delivery, also a LEED-Gold development, totalling 21,311 sf. The larger volume of new construction that was delivered in nearly equal proportions between both the downtown area and the suburbs in 2014 is not expected in 2015; however, developers are still moving forward, albeit cautiously since the recession. There is nearly 6.5m sf of proposed office development on record in the county.
