cushmanwakefield.com I 1 Dallas-Fort Worth Office Q1 2018 MARKETBEAT Economy The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington economy continues to thrive, as increases in total population and overall employment persist. According to Moody’s Analytics, the region’s population increased by 136,000 year-over-year, reaching 7.5 million people at the end of March. This equates to an average of 375 new residents each day. During the same time period, the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington employment base increased by 87,000, dropping the unemployment rate by 60 basis points (bps) to 3.4% at the close of Q1 2018. Out of the 87,000 jobs added, 22% (19,000 jobs) can be attributed to the office sector, which includes business and professional services, information/technology, and financial activities. The business and professional services category accounts for 61% (603,000 jobs) of the entire office sector employment base (985,000 jobs) and is the leading indicator for office space demand. Market Overview The Dallas-Fort Worth office market continued to show growth during the first three months of the year. A total of 5.1 million square feet (msf) of new space was under construction at the close of Q1 2018, down slightly from the 5.5 msf for Q1 2017. Of the 5.1 msf that has broken ground, 43% (2.2 msf) is comprised of build-to-suit (BTS) projects. Completions for the quarter totaled nearly 1.5 msf, of which 33% was preleased. Looking ahead, Cushman & Wakefield is tracking nearly 3 msf of office space slated for completion during 2018, with projects spanning across the region. Office vacancy in the Dallas-Fort Worth market increased significantly in Q1 2018, climbing 120 bps to 17.7%, year-over- year. The jump in vacancy can be attributed to multiple major move-outs during the quarter. Among them was Fannie Mae, which vacated two buildings totaling 560,000 square feet (sf) in Far North Dallas and moved to Granite Park in the Legacy/Frisco submarket. Additionally, JPMorgan vacated 351,000 sf in Far North Dallas and moved into its new owner- occupied campus in Legacy/Frisco. + Occupancy growth took place in 12 of Dallas-Fort Worth’s 21 submarkets, with the Las Colinas and Arts District submarkets recording the most absorption through the first three months of 2018.

which largely contributed to the submarket’s over 600,000 sf of absorption for the quarter. The Arts District absorbed 245,000 sf—nearly 80% of the total occupancy growth in the Dallas CBD. Goldman Sachs made up a significant amount of this, occupying 175,000 sf at Trammell Crow Center.

Dallas-Fort Worth’s overall average asking lease rate continues to climb, closing the first quarter of 2018 at $27.30 per square foot (psf) on an annual full-service basis. This marks a 3% ($0.81 psf) increase from Q4 2017 ($26.49) and a 4.4% ($1.15) increase from a year ago. During Q1 2018, Cushman & Wakefield began tracking Dallas’ central business district in three micro-markets, due to the distinct characteristics of the Arts District, the West End, and CBD Core. Additionally, Uptown and Turtle Creek were split, in order to show competing markets more clearly. With the new construction and multimillion-dollar redevelopments along Ross Avenue, the Arts District boasts Class A rates of $43.40 psf—second only to Uptown ($47.24 psf). These rents are a stark contrast to Class A rates in neighboring submarkets, the CBD Core ($26.61 psf) and West End ($31.84 psf). Overall, lease rates in downtown Dallas climbed an impressive $2.74 psf in the past year (from $28.03 psf to $30.77 psf), an increase of 9.8%. Other big year-over-year movers were Preston Center, up $3.70 psf (from $37.04 to $40.74) and Legacy/Frisco, up $1.38 (from $32.95 to $34.44).

Outlook• A large number of office tenants will continue to

renegotiate leases throughout 2018, as many 10-year leases were signed during the downturn in 2008 and 2009.

• Landlords will continue to update older buildings and add amenities to keep up with tenant demands and compete with newer product.

• The Dallas market is still seeing a good balance of corporate relocation activity and organic growth from existing company expansions.
