Bifurcated market

The overall Phoenix office market currently stands 22.2 percent vacant, significantly lower than its recessionary high of 27.1 percent vacant back in 2010, but has a long was to go before it reaches its previous low of 11.2 percent in 2006. As the Valley becomes a much more active market, the divide between the West Valley and East Valley continues to grow. Tenants are choosing to locate along the Loop 101 corridor spanning from Chandler and Tempe in the south to Scottsdale in the North. This activity has brought vacancy in the east below 20 percent as opposed to the west side of Phoenix that continues to struggle with a 27.9 percent vacancy rate.

Active development pipeline

Four submarkets boast vacancy rates below 15 percent in Phoenix: Tempe (10.5 percent), South Scottsdale (11.7 percent), South Tempe/Ahwatukee (14.4 percent), and Downtown (14.9 percent). Landlords are capitalizing on the strong demand and limited supply within these submarkets and developers are working to alleviate some of that imbalance by building new projects. The current level of construction in early 2015 has not been seen since the peak in 2008. Accelerating rents, steady demand, and positive economic indicators in Phoenix are reigniting confidence in developers.

Financial services driving Phoenix forward

Phoenix has experienced a much more diverse recovery since 2008, steadily adding a healthy balance of jobs in contrast to previous market cycles when the Valley would be flooded with construction employment. One specific industry that has been driving the local economy is the banking and finance sector, which has been the fastest growing industry in the Valley. The general metropolitan area lost over 300,000 jobs in the recession and has yet to exceed that number in early 2015, but financial services exceeded its employment peak back in 2013. The sector’s positive employment gains are translating into greater absorption of office space in some of the Valley’s premier submarkets.
