JLL: Tech Dominates U.S. Office Leasing, Creates Resilient Economies

by Haisten Willis

CHICAGO — Even as the technology industry begins to normalize after two years of major growth, the nation’s tech markets remain winners in the race for talent and, by extension, office leasing. This according to JLL’s recently released Tech Office Outlook report. From the second quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2016, tech office leasing volume fell 9.6 percent. However, despite tech industry growth hitting a relative plateau, it will continue to outpace the national economy and is creating strong real estate conditions across the country, according to the report. “The technology sector is the leading industry for real estate expansion in the U.S. and is driving nearly 25 percent of office leasing activity across the nation over the past two years for leases of 20,000 square feet or more,” states the report. “Also, 63 percent of these tech companies are in growth mode. And this demand is driving office rents up. The most expensive rents can be found in San Francisco Peninsula’s Menlo Park, at $102.16 per square foot, followed by Palo Alto in Silicon Valley ($100.79); San Francisco’s Mission Bay/China Basin ($84.70) and Hudson Square in New York ($83.11).” The 9.6 percent year-over-year dip in second-quarter leasing …

Job Growth, Technology Sector Give a Boost to the Kansas City Apartment Market

by Jeff Shaw

Look no further than Kansas City for one of the most burgeoning apartment rental hotspots in the Heartland. Ever since apartment deliveries reached a trough of 233 units in 2011, developers have ramped up construction activity year after year to meet healthy rental demand, though often still trailing robust leasing activity. This trend continued in the first half of 2016, with 2,170 newly occupied apartments exceeding 1,650 multifamily units added to the metro area inventory. What’s contributing to this demand? And will rapid market growth and expansion continue? Job growth, tech boom Employment gains are a big reason rental market demand continues to outweigh supply. For the last six years, greater Kansas City has experienced annual average employment gains of 1.5 percent to support sustained rental demand. After steady, though moderate gains in the last half of 2015, employers accelerated hiring with 10,500 additions from January to June, a 1 percent expansion over the previous six months. The six-month hires capped an annual increase of 1.5 percent since mid-2015 with 15,900 new personnel. To no surprise, the rise in employment has coincided with the rise in renters, as they’ve been attracted to new inventory around employment hubs. The Downtown/East Kansas …
