Surge in Sublease Space Puts Pressure on Omaha Office Market

by Kristin Harlow October 19, 2023

By Mike Rensch, Investors Realty The Omaha office market is facing an increasing amount of sublease space, which is having a significant impact on what spaces tenants prefer to lease right now. This is directly affecting all aspects of the overall office market as well. As the second quarter came to a close, the direct vacancy rate was 7.4 percent, compared with 7.6 percent in the second quarter of 2022. With that said, those numbers do not paint the whole picture because they do not account for the amount of sublease space on the market. The availability rate (which includes direct space and sublease space available) was at 9.8 percent compared with 8.4 percent in the second quarter of 2022. We see this trend continuing for the time being as companies grapple with whether or not to bring their employees back to the office. At the end of the second quarter, there was 841,000 square feet of sublease space available in Omaha, up from 723,000 square feet at the end of the second quarter of 2022. This represents a 14 percent increase in sublease space over the past year. It reached its peak of 919,000 square feet of available …

Retailer Growth, Expansion in Metro Omaha Lead to Optimistic Outlook

by Kristin Harlow October 12, 2023

By Sara Hanke, The Lerner Co. Eternally optimistic is the state most commercial real estate brokers find themselves in, particularly when it comes to the retail sector. We must be, as the conditions of the retail market are quite often painted in negative broad strokes. The predictions that online sales would be the demise of physical retail proved wrong. Retailers that are digitally native continue to open brick-and-mortar locations after realizing the limits of online customer acquisition and growth. Most recently, the pandemic has shown us that retail can weather the storm of restrictions and limitations. Now we are in a post-pandemic world where the restrictions and upheaval of the way we consume has shifted our mindset. Shoppers have returned to their daily shopping, eating and entertainment needs. Navigating the complexities of the retail real estate market continues to keep us all on our toes. The first and third quarters were healthy with vacancy dipping below 5 percent. So far, the third quarter has proven strong due to new-to-market concepts looking to do multiple location rollouts as well as existing retailers looking to add additional locations. As the year progresses, we are not without challenge. There has been a shortage …
