Tech, Co-Working Shine in Raleigh-Durham’s Downtown Submarkets

by John Nelson

The question today for office tenants and investors is not why Raleigh-Durham, but why not. The Raleigh-Durham market is defined by continued job growth and a thriving technology sector. The Triangle is enjoying significant rent growth, strong absorption and major construction that now has a Downtown Raleigh and a Downtown Durham. Raleigh-Durham’s overall growth continues and was recently ranked No. 1 in the Southeast in projected population growth, posting a 10.3 percent growth rate from 2017 to 2022. This figure is nearly double the 5.5 percent average growth rate for Southeastern cities. Job growth is the primary driver of the region’s expanding presence with over 30,000 jobs added in 2018 through the first half of the year, already surpassing the 24,000 jobs added in all of 2017. Over the last year, we have seen Infosys (2,000), Credit Suisse (1,200), LabCorp (400) and Ipreo (250) announce major job additions to the area. Most recently, Amazon announced 1,500 jobs that will be required for its new fulfillment center. The tech sector is a major contributor to those jobs, and there is a lot of talk about a well-known e-commerce giant and a major technology giant bringing a significant presence to our market. …

Houston Office Market Is In Full Rebound Mode

by Taylor Williams

Like most major cities, Houston has had its fair share of market cycles. However, this most recent decline in the local economy’s growth rate that was caused by a steep drop of oil prices put a heightened level of stress on the Houston office market. Fortunately, the energy sector has turned the corner, and, paired with the ever-diversifying economic base, the Houston economy is buzzing again. As such, Houston’s population and job growth have translated into early signs of improvement in office market fundamentals. The metro’s employment base, which is currently seeing some of the highest employment numbers in history, is growing at more than twice the national rate. This rapid rate of expansion has provided the office market with much-needed positive momentum as we look toward the new year. Improving Fundamentals The much-anticipated turnaround in the office market is here. Asking rents, occupancy rates and absorption are all increasing across the metro area and across all building classifications. In the third quarter of 2018, the office market posted approximately 1.1 million square feet of positive net absorption. This is a significant improvement compared to the negative net absorption of roughly 1.1 million square feet in the first quarter of …

Coldwell Banker: Office Employees Want Private Spaces, Limited Noise

by Kristin Harlow

MADISON, N.J. — The open office concept, which became a prominent design trend over the last decade, has declined in popularity with concerns over a lack of privacy and distractions. New research commissioned by Coldwell Banker Commercial and conducted online in late September by The Harris Poll found that almost three-quarters of employed adults would be comfortable working in an open office if they had access to a private space or small work areas, and if noise and distractions were limited. The consumer survey of more than 2,000 adults ages 18 and older found that Americans seem to consider private and quiet spaces more important than team-meeting spaces, as only 66 percent of respondents said they would be amenable to working in an open office if there were large meeting spaces or conference rooms available. Also less appealing was sharing workspace, as 52 percent of those surveyed would not be comfortable working in an open office if it meant multiple workers in one workspace. “It’s important for commercial building designs to accommodate a variety of working styles, and the more we know what workers want — in this case, an open office with private spaces and limited noise — the …
