A NEW SOURCE OF DATA
Over the course of 2018, CBRE Research has engaged in the process of transferring the tracked dataset for the San Antonio office market from Xceligent over to CoStar. Utilizing CoStar as the primary source of 3rd party information for the tracked dataset will allow CBRE Research to better understand the San Antonio office market going forward.
CBD REIGNS SUBREME; SOUTH FOLLOWS SUIT
Once again, San Antonio’s CBD submarket reported the largest net absorption in Q1 2018, registering more than 100,000 sq. ft. Most of this activity occurred in the Class B market, while Class A buildings saw a negative absorption level of (22,930) sq. ft. Following the CBD, the South submarket registered the next highest level of absorption activity in the market, registering 22,317 sq. ft., predominately in Class B product as well.
NEGATIVE ABSORPTION MARKS THE QUARTER
Despite the positive absorption observed in the CBD and South submarkets, the overall market registered negative market movement, with negative absorption, decreasing average asking rates, and an uptick in citywide vacancy. The North Central submarket was the most impacted submarket, registering negative net absorption of (256,230) sq. ft., down from (13,590) sq. ft. registered in Q4 2017.

Under Construction998,131 SF
Net Absorption(152,788) SF
Following the North Central submarket, the Northwest area registered (40,703) sq. ft. of negative net absorption. Citywide vacancy rates increased 140 basis points (bps) from Q4 2017, climbing to 15.8%. To complement the increase in vacancy, citywide average asking rates decreasing $1.32 per sq. ft. from Q4 2017 to $21.04 per sq. ft. in 2018.
CONSTRUCTION DELIVERING IN COMING MONTHS
Once again, the office market saw no new deliveries come online during the first 90 days of 2018. CBRE Research is currently tracking 10 office projects currently under construction, totaling approximately 1 million sq. ft. The largest project under construction in the metropolitan area is the Frost Tower in the CBD, totaling 462,000 sq. ft. There are four projects under construction in the Northwest, accounting for 207,000 sq. ft.; the rest of the projects underway are scattered throughout the city. CBRE Research anticipates more projects to break ground in 2018.
EMPLOYMENT TAKES A HIT AT START OF 2018
Unemployment in San Antonio ticked upwards during the first quarter of 2018, rising from 3.0% in Dec 2017 to 3.4% in February 2018. Total non-farm jobs fell from 1.056 million in December 2017 to 1.041 million in January 2018, with a slight rebound in February 2018 to 1.051 million.

SAN ANTONIO’S NORTHWEST STILL ANCHORS OFFICE LEASING
The Northwest submarket alone contributed almost 85,000 sq. ft. of the 106,224 sq. ft. of net absorption in Q3 2017. Far West, CBD and Class B assets saw greater moveouts this quarter after reporting small, but negative net absorptions. In terms of future demand, users seeking space remained healthy with requirements totaling 1.2 million sq. ft.
OVERALL VACANCY COMPRESSING
Positive movements, with the absence of new deliveries, compressed the market’s vacancy rate to 14.7%. Class A vacancy fell 60 basis points (bps) as tenants leased some of the recently delivered office space. Despite a steady vacancy, the trailing 24 months have tightened as vacant space dropped significantly compared to 19.1% in 2015.
FSG AND NNN ASKING RENTS REACH A NEW HIGH
Weighted average asking rents (FSG) for office product grew 3% from last quarter. Growth was largely anchored by Class A product, which has grown 4% in the last 90 days. However, as more owners quote asking rents on a NNN basis (particularly for Class A and new construction), this segment is seeing the strongest rent growth. Separately, NNN asking rents for Class A spaces averaged $22.41 per sq. ft.—a staggering 11% year-to-date
*See Figure 2 for NNN rents. All statistics exclude owner-occupied properties. Arrows indicate trend from previous quarter.

growth rate, largely driven by new product deliveries. Adding market-typical Class A NNN expenses of $12.00 would yield a calculated average FSG rent north of $34.00 per sq. ft. for Class A product. It should be noted that these adjusted rents are also considerably above the CBRE reported average FSG rent.
DELIVERIES TIGHTEN, PIPELINE EXPANDS
The office market saw no new deliveries, however, construction continued on four projects totaling 735,000 sq. ft. A new two-building, 300,000-sq.-ft. project broke ground just north of CBD at the Pearl District. While some specifics are yet to be confirmed, as much as 200,000 sq. ft. could be delivered occupied by a local credit union. Total development surpassed 1.0 million sq. ft. with an expected occupancy of 50%. Additional projects, including new and redevelopments in the CBD, are expected to enter the pipeline later this year and into 2018.
EMPLOYMENT GROWTH ROBUST
San Antonio’s regional economy continued expanding and its employment growth accelerated with 16,100 seasonally adjusted net jobs year-to-date and 25,000 jobs added year-over-year in August 2017. The seasonally adjusted metropolitan unemployment rate continued to trend below the state average at 3.6% as of July 2017.

MOST SUBMARKETS SAW POSITIVE NET ABSORPTION, NORTHWEST LED ACTIVITY IN Q2 2017
Office demand was reported most predominantly in the Northwest submarkets where net absorption totaled more than 126,000 sq. ft. Furthermore, most submarkets, with the exception of South, posted larger move-ins than move-outs. In terms of future demand, users seeking space remained firm and diverse with requirements totaling 1.2 million sq. ft.
VACANCY REMAINED 3.1% BELOW YEAR-OVER-YEAR, AT 14.8%
Despite recent speculative (spec) deliveries, the market vacancy rate sat 1.7% below the trailing 10-year-average, while Class A sat an additional 1.2% below that figure. Despite a steady Q1 2016, the trailing 12 months have continued to tighten as vacant space dropped significantly compared to Q2 2016.
FSG ASKING RENTS REMAIN NEAR HIGHS, GROWTH IN NNN QUOTES QUICKLY ACCELERATING
Weighted average asking rents for office product (FSG) grew 2.7% from the same time last year. Growth was largely anchored by Class A product. However, with the market seeing more owners quote asking rents on a NNN basis (particularly for Class A and new construction), this segment is seeing the strongest rent growth.
*See Figure 2 for NNN rents. All statistics exclude owner occupied properties. Arrows indicate trend from previous quarter.
Under Construction780,107 SF
Avg. Asking Rate$21.64 PSF (FSG)*
Net Absorption226,597 SF
When considering only NNN asking rents, Class A spaces averaged $22.53 per sq. ft. This grew by a staggering 10.9% from last quarter, largely because of newly delivered product. Adding market-typical NNN expenses of $12.00 would yield an adjusted average FSG rent north of $34.00 per sq. ft. for Class A product. It should be noted that these adjusted rents are also considerably above the CBRE reported average FSG rent.
SPEC PRODUCT DELIVERED, MORE ON THE WAY
This quarter delivered nearly 390,000 sq. ft. of new product with an occupancy of 40%, as San Antonio registered new construction near a cycle-high last quarter. Work continued on the 24-story Frost Tower in the CBD that is expected to deliver 462,000 sq. ft. by early 2019. Other projects totaling 318,107 sq. ft. and all speculative, were also under construction at the end of Q2 2017. Additional projects, both new and redevelopments, are expected to enter the pipeline later this year.
ROBUST EMPLOYMENT GROWTH
San Antonio’s regional economy and employment market continued to expand as industries added a net 5,100 jobs year-to-date and 24,900 year-over-year in May 2017. The metropolitan unemployment rate persisted below the state average at 4.1% as of April 2017.

OVERALL NET ABSORPTION COOLED AT THE START OF 2017, TWO SUBMARKETS PULLED AHEAD
Office demand proved largest in the Far West and Northwest submarkets where their combined net absorption totaled more than 80,000 sq. ft. Furthermore, most of the larger vacancies this quarter were anticipated relocations for leases signed elsewhere last year. In terms of future demand, users seeking space remained firm and diverse with requirements totaling 1.3 million sq. ft.
VACANCY DROPPED BY 2.2% YEAR-OVER-YEAR, REACHING 14.6%
Largely attributed to a healthy second half in 2016, the office sector continued tightening as vacant space dropped significantly compared to Q1 2016. Despite recent spec deliveries, the market vacancy rate sat nearly 2.0% below the trailing 10-year-average, while Class A sat an additional 2.8% below that.
FSG ASKING RENTS PUSH NEW HIGHS, NNN QUOTES ARE BECOMING MORE COMMON
Weighted average asking rents for office product (FSG) grew 3.0% from the same time last year. Growth was largely anchored by Class A product as Class B saw a slight dip. However, the market is seeing more owners (particularly for Class A) quote asking rents on a NNN basis. When considering NNN asking rents, Class A

and Class B averaged to $20.32 and $15.05 per sq. ft., respectively. Adding market-typical NNN expenses of $12.00 to $8.00 per sq. ft. would yield an adjusted average FSG rent of $32.00 and $23.00 per sq. ft. for Class A and Class B, respectively. It should be noted that these adjusted rents are also considerably above our reported average FSG rent.
NEW CONSTRUCTION IN CBD AFTER 25 YEARS
The underway 24-story-Frost-tower is expected to deliver 462,000 sq. ft., including 150,000 available sq. ft., by early 2019. Other projects totaling 388,268 sq. ft., most of which were speculative and in the Northwest, were also under construction bringing the total to 850,268 sq. ft. with an expected occupancy of 42%. Additional projects are expected later this year.
REGIONAL ECONOMY REMAINS STRONG
San Antonio’s regional economy remained strong due to expanding demographics and diverse employment growth. During Q1 2017 the local economy added 3,200 net jobs while its unemployment rate remained below the state average at 4.1%. Education and healthcare, professional and business services, construction, and manufacturing all saw growth above 3.0% year-over-year in March 2017.

• The new year kicked off to a slower start than last year with approximately one-fourth of the absorption over Q1 2015, posting 127,598 sq. ft. of positive net demand.
• Meanwhile, due to the delivery of four new buildings with occupancy below market level, vacancy rose another 90 basis-points (bps) to 16.8%. Inventory additions added in excess of 280,000 sq. ft. of vacant new product.
• Full service average asking rents fell for the first time in two years, falling $0.08 per sq. ft. to $21.12 per sq. ft.
• San Antonio’s office market grew by more than 320,000 sq. ft. with another 513,323 sq. ft. currently underway in the Northwest and North Central.
Coming off a nearly record year, the San Antonio office market is poised for an active 2016. The hype for the new Frost Bank Tower in the CBD is gathering more steam as plans for the conceptual design are expected to be released by midyear. After 270,000 sq. ft. of Class A product was delivered to the market, and with over 400,000 more lined up to deliver this year, premier space is moving closer to closing the gap in a market led by Class B inventory. Still, overall occupier demand is beginning to taper as the local office market closed with the lowest first quarter demand since 2012, and the lowest with positive absorption since 2009, with 127,598 sq. ft.

The Northwest led all submarket activity and clocked up 70,135 sq. ft. of fresh tenant demand to close the first quarter with 19.9% vacancy. This was then followed by the Far West with 58,089 sq. ft. of positive growth and the Far North Central which finished with 11,931 sq. ft. Transactions that drove absorption include Time Warner leasing over 50,000 sq. ft. at One51 Office Center, CGI taking 11,319 sq. ft. at Northwest Parkway, and HEB Credit Union signing a lease for 9,000 at LockhillCrossing. The CBD had a calm quarter, slightly under the level experienced this time last year, with just over 15,000 sq. ft. of positive net absorption. The only submarket that posted negative growth for the quarter was the North Central submarket, which saw 36,938 sq. ft. returned to the market (and has space under development). This pullback was caused by The Medical Team vacating 12,000 sq. ft. at the Century building to take up new space in Energy Plaza II in the North Central, and RJ Rivera Associates moving out of 5,263 sq. ft. at the Pyramid building to occupy their new office at Callaghan Tower in Northwest.
The last time full-service average asking rents saw a decline was in Q1 2014. Rates fell $0.08 per sq. ft. and closed the quarter at $21.12 per sq. ft. This is attributed to buildings making a change to a
quoted triple net rate (NNN), and this is particularly with higher end product where the figure is then grossed up for market averages. Suburban rates fell $0.06 per sq. ft. to $21.29 per sq. ft., while the CBD saw a $0.21 per sq. ft. decrease quarter-over-quarter, and closed at 20.65 per sq. ft. Meanwhile, suburban NNN rates rose $0.31 per sq. ft. to $17.30 per sq. ft., while the NNN market average increased $0.35 per sq. ft. to $17.31 per sq. ft.
Totaling over 320,000 sq. ft., four projects completed construction in the Q1 2016. The majority of the space was delivered in the Northwest submarket with over 149,000 sq. ft. between WestRidge Two at La Cantera (129,015 sq. ft.) and Bexar County Medical Society Building (20,340 sq. ft.). Ridgewood Plaza added147,000 sq. ft. to the Far North Central submarket, while the completion of the KFW Building increased inventory in the North Central by 30,000 sq. ft. This brought year-to-date construction levels to nearly 50% of the total delivered construction in 2015, and with over 513,000 sq. ft. still under construction, 2016 is poised to see one of the highest levels of delivered construction. As of now, only 5% of product under construction is preleased, which gives prospective tenants plenty of options for newer and higher end product.

ABSORPTION AND VACANCY
Just a year ago, the office market posted over 426,000 sq. ft. of positive net absorption, over 70% more than the level experiences in Q1 2016. Posting 127,598, the quarter saw its lowest first quarter of positive net absorption since 2009, which saw only 14,489 per sq. ft. of positive net absorption. Due to over 280,000 of unclaimed new product, overall vacancy rose another 90 bps, inching up to 16.8%, a level last seen in Q2 2014, as well as the second consecutive quarter of ascending vacancy.

UNEMPLOYMENT
Unemployment in the Alamo City rose slightly to begin the year to 3.8%, increasing 20 bps quarter-over-quarter. Even with this slight rise, unemployment levels are still 20 bps lower, or 5%, year-over-year, and a sharp decrease from just two years ago when local unemployment was 5.0%. U.S. and state levels both saw equal decreases in unemployment, with both falling 10 bps quarter-over-quarter and closing the quarter at 4.9% and 4.5% respectively.
OFFICE RENTS
As more existing and new buildings convert their asking rent conventions to a NNN basis, the market saw full-service gross rates fall $0.08 per sq. ft. quarter-over-quarter and finish at $21.12 per sq. ft. Meanwhile, NNN asking rates rose $0.35 per sq. ft., reaching $17.31 per sq. ft. Class A product recovered from the decrease experienced at the end of 2015, rising $0.21 per sq. ft. to 26.17 per sq. ft. Both CBD ($20.65 per sq. ft.) and Suburban rates ($21.29 per sq. ft.) on the other hand, fell $0.21 and $0.06 per sq. ft. quarter-over-quarter respectively.
CONSTRUCTION PIPELINE
Throughout the previous year, over 650,000 sq. ft. of new product was delivered to the market. This year has already reached nearly half of the level in the first quarter alone, with 326,355 sq. ft. of new office product having completed their construction. Over 276,000 sq. ft. of this new space was recognized as Class A product, with Ridgewood Plaza and WestRidge Two at La Cantera adding 147,000 and 129,015 sq. ft. respectively. Two smaller buildings, the BexarCounty and Medical Society building (20,340 sq. ft.), and KFW Building (30,000 sq. ft.) round out the completions. Construction levels closed the quarter at 513,313 sq. ft., with only 5% of the product under development preleased.

• The year finished with a modest 78,781 sq. ft. of positive net absorption in Q4 2015, which increased the Y-T-D absorption just shy of 1 Million sq. ft.
• Vacancy rose 50 basis-points (bps) up to 15.9%, returning to the same level from a year ago.
• Growth in average asking rents slowed, but ended the year up $0.11 per sq. ft. to $21.20 per sq. ft.
• Two more buildings delivered to the market, adding 129,000 sq. ft. to the inventory. Year-to-date completed construction closes 2015 with over 650,000 sq. ft.
• Product under construction finished the quarter at 769,458 sq. ft.
Poised to surpass 1 million sq. ft. in Y-T-D net absorption, the San Antonio office market posted its lowest positive net absorption of the year with 78,781 sq. ft. Absorption levels also fell short of reaching the Y-T-D record high set back in 2007, finishing 2015 at 927,391 sq. ft. of positive net absorption. Despite the positive quarter, vacancy rose 50 bps quarter-over-quarter and ending the year at 15.9%, the same rate the market saw just 12 months ago. Two more buildings were added to the market, totaling 129,000 sq. ft. While this was the twelfth straight quarter of positive net absorption in the market, this also marks the second consecutive quarter where vacancy rose, the last time being Q2 and Q3 2013.

MARKETVIEW
Even with a relatively low quarter of net absorption for the quarter, the majority of submarkets saw positive net absorption for the quarter. The market was led by the Far North Central submarket, which posted 34,052 sq. ft., followed immediately by the CBD with 33,313 sq. ft. Major deals include Lennar Homes leasing 15,409 sq. ft. at the Ridgewood Business Center II in the Far North Central, and Code Up taking 5,775 sq., ft. at the Vogue Building downtown. The highest level of negative net absorption was experienced by the South submarket, which saw a modest 16,485 sq. ft. returned to the market. Not far behind, and the only other market with negative net absorption, was the Far West submarket, with 14,400 sq. ft. of negative net absorption for the quarter. The entire negative absorption experienced in the Far West was by Sears reducing its space while moving from 46,000 sq. ft. in Building A of 151 Technology Center, into 31,600 sq. ft. of Building B.
For the third quarter in a row, growth in average rental rates slowed while increasing another $0.11 per sq. ft. on a full-service-gross (FSG) basis. They finished the quarter at $21.20 per sq. ft. which is nearly a full dollar increase year-over-year, or a 4% increase from 2014. Across submarkets, while
significant, only the North Central and CBD saw increases quarter-over-quarter, increasing $0.54 and $0.55 per sq. ft. respectively. The suburban submarket saw a $0.02 decrease quarter over.
Two more buildings delivered to the market, adding 129,000 sq. ft. of new inventory to the North Central submarket, and bringing the Y-T-D delivered construction to over 650,000 sq. ft. Completions include the Heritage Oaks Office Park III, a 109,000 sq. ft. Class A building, and the 20,000 sq. ft. building at 2810 N Loop 1604, which also had over 17,000 sq. ft. preleased at delivery. Even with the 129,000 or new product completed, construction levels increased quarter-over-quarter, finishing the year at 769,458 sq. ft. This was due to the 165,000 sq. ft. Landmark I building, which will be a neighbor to the Vista Corporate Center that broke ground the previous quarter. There is also anticipation growing for the new Frost Bank Tower, which is scheduled to break ground some time next year, as it was announced that Pelli Clarke Pelli will design the new tower.
New active users in the market added only 18,000 sq. ft. of new requirements to the market. With plenty more to fill available space.

ABSORPTION AND VACANCY
While Q4 2015 posted the lowest level of the year, the office market completed its third consecutive year of every quarter posting positive net absorption. The 78,781 sq. ft. experienced this quarter brought the year-to-date absorption up to 927,391 sq. ft. which fell 51,175 sq. ft. from the record high set back 2007. The market was led by North Central submarket (34,052 sq. ft.), and the CBD (33,313 sq. ft.) Vacancy actually saw an increase quarter-over-quarter of 50 bps, and finished the year at 15.9%. This was mainly due to the delivery of Heritage Oaks Office Park III adding over 109,000 sq. ft. of vacant space to the market.

UNEMPLOYMENT
After a quarter that saw unemployment rise, Q4 2015 ended the year by falling back to 3.6%, a change of 10 bps and the same level back from Q2 2015. As projected at the beginning of the year, this attributed to an over 3% change year-over-year in local job growth. This is a 50 bps change from the end of last year. The national unemployment level saw the same change as the local level, falling 10 bps from 5.1% to 5.0% quarter-over-quarter. The state level saw unemployment rise 50 bps since the month of August, and finished the year at 4.6%.
OFFICE RENTS
Average asking rates grew again to finish the year, rising another $0.11 per sq. ft. on a FSG basis. This increased the already record high up to $21.20 per sq. ft. Class A product fell slightly, down to $25.96 per sq. ft. The CBD asking rates rose $0.55 per sq. ft. up to $20.86 per sq. ft., while the Suburban market also dipped marginally down to $21.35 per sq. ft. Class B and C product finished the year at $20.50 and $17.30 per sq. ft. respectively.
OFFICE PRODUCT
With 129,000 sq. ft. added to the market during the quarter, the Y-T-D delivered construction hit over 650,000 sq. ft., easily making 2015 one of the strongest years in regards to new product coming on to the market. The completion of Heritage Oaks Business Park II (109,000 sq. ft.) and 2810 N Loop 1604 (20,000 sq., ft.) rounded out the year with only 17,000 sq. ft. in the latter building having been preleased.
With only one new project breaking ground, construction levels still increased quarter-over-quarter, up to 769,458 sq. ft. This was due to the Landmark I development starting construction, which is set to add 165,000 sq. ft. of Class A product to the Northwest submarket.

• Product under construction finished the quarter at 733,458 sq. ft.
After posting near identical absorption to the previous quarter, Q3 2015 had another strong quarter of over 200,000 sq. ft. of positive net absorption, closing the quarter at 210,974 sq. ft. This brings the year-to-date net absorption up to 848,610 sq. ft., which is only 129,956 sq. ft. from surpassing the highest level reached throughout a year. Vacancy remained stagnant quarter-over-quarter, remaining at 15.4%, as vacancy has dropped a total of 50 bps so far in 2015.

MARKETVIEW
As with the previous quarter, the Northwest submarket led all other submarkets with 92,441 sq. ft. of positive net absorption, making up over half of the total net absorption for the quarter. The Northwest was followed by the Far North Central, which posted 50,630 sq. ft., and the CBD, which bounced back from a quarter of negative net absorption, with 43,041 sq. ft. Major deals include WellMed taking 40,996 sq. ft. in The Oaks at University Park III, HEB leasing 17,174 sq. ft. at Cypress Tower, and Boral taking 27,515 sq. ft. at the newly completed Ridgewood Business Center II. This quarter also saw every other submarket, with the exception of the Far West submarket that posted zero net absorption, close the quarter with positive net absorption.
Average asking rates in the market rose another $0.14 per sq. f.t , which is 50% of the increase experienced in the previous quarter. Rental rates finished the quarter at $21.09 per sq. ft. on a full-service-gross (FSG) basis. Average asking rates have now increased by nearly a full $1.00 per sq. ft. year-over-year. As with Q2 2015, all classes across the market saw increases in their respective average asking rates quarter-over-quarter, and also witnessed the Far North Central and
Northeast as the submarkets that saw further decreases in their rates. Increases occurred in the Northwest, North Central and the CBD, while the South saw no change.
The quarter saw development activity similar to the previous quarter, with Q3 2015 delivering two buildings to the market, which added 162,000 sq. ft. to existing inventory. The One51 Office Centre (108,180 sq. ft.) in the Far West, as well as the Ridgewood Business Center II (54,217 sq. ft.) brought the year-to-date total construction completed up to 530,092 sq. ft. Only Ridgewood Business Center had preleasing by the time of completion, with Boral taking 27,515 sq. ft. Product currently under development finished at 733,458, with Galleria Venture breaking ground on the Vista Corporate Center (158,000 sq. ft.) in the Northwest. Add in the Pond Hill development (68,733 sq. ft.), and Q3 2015 saw over 226,000 sq. ft. to construction levels. Landmark 1 (165,000 sq. ft.) is also set to break ground by the end of the year.
Demand seems to have slowed down a bit in the market, as there were no new significant active requirements added to the market this quarter.

MARKETVIEW
As with the previous quarter, the Northwest submarket led all other submarkets with 92,441 sq. ft. of positive net absorption, making up over half of the total net absorption for the quarter. The Northwest was followed by the Far North Central, which posted 50,630 sq. ft., and the CBD, which bounced back from a quarter of negative net absorption, with 43,041 sq. ft. Major deals include WellMed taking 40,996 sq. ft. in The Oaks at University Park III, HEB leasing 17,174 sq. ft. at Cypress Tower, and Boral taking 27,515 sq. ft. at the newly completed Ridgewood Business Center II. This quarter also saw every other submarket, with the exception of the Far West submarket that posted zero net absorption, close the quarter with positive net absorption.
Average asking rates in the market rose another $0.14 per sq. f.t , which is 50% of the increase experienced in the previous quarter. Rental rates finished the quarter at $21.09 per sq. ft. on a full-service-gross (FSG) basis. Average asking rates have now increased by nearly a full $1.00 per sq. ft. year-over-year. As with Q2 2015, all classes across the market saw increases in their respective average asking rates quarter-over-quarter, and also witnessed the Far North Central and
Northeast as the submarkets that saw further decreases in their rates. Increases occurred in the Northwest, North Central and the CBD, while the South saw no change.
The quarter saw development activity similar to the previous quarter, with Q3 2015 delivering two buildings to the market, which added 162,000 sq. ft. to existing inventory. The One51 Office Centre (108,180 sq. ft.) in the Far West, as well as the Ridgewood Business Center II (54,217 sq. ft.) brought the year-to-date total construction completed up to 530,092 sq. ft. Only Ridgewood Business Center had preleasing by the time of completion, with Boral taking 27,515 sq. ft. Product currently under development finished at 733,458, with Galleria Venture breaking ground on the Vista Corporate Center (158,000 sq. ft.) in the Northwest. Add in the Pond Hill development (68,733 sq. ft.), and Q3 2015 saw over 226,000 sq. ft. to construction levels. Landmark 1 (165,000 sq. ft.) is also set to break ground by the end of the year.
Demand seems to have slowed down a bit in the market, as there were no new significant active requirements added to the market this quarter.

The market has also seen action in companies moving into the city, highlighted by the German biotech company Cytocentric Biosciences moving its headquarters from Rostock, Germany, bringing 300 jobs into the city.
The Northwest submarket saw the majority of positive net absorption for the quarter, posting 158,591 sq. ft., or 61% of the total net absorption for Q2 2015. Major drivers of the absorption was BCFS leasing 36,400 sq. ft. at the Abilene Building, as well as the completion of two buildings (Lockhill Crossing and The Oaks at University Business Park III) with roughly 60,000 sq. ft. preleased by the time of completion. This was followed by the North Central submarket, which posted 88,005 sq. ft. of positive net absorption. Major deals include GSA taking the entire building at Castle Hills Executive Plaza, and HDE leasing 18,106 sq. ft. at the Spectrum Building.
The quarter saw citywide average asking rates not only surpass the record high set in 2012, but also nearly broke the $21.00 per sq. ft. mark, with
Q2 2015 seeing rates rise another $0.28 per sq. ft. on a full-service-gross (FSG) basis. Rates closed the quarter at 20.95 per sq. ft., exceeding the previous record high by $0.10 per sq. ft., when if was $20.85 back in Q1 2012. The market saw increases across all building classes, but mixed changes throughout submarkets as two submarkets saw decreases (the Far North Central and Northeast), while three saw increases, including the CBD marking the first time in three quarters it saw rates rise.
Two buildings saw construction completed, adding over 200,000 sq. ft. to the market. LockhillCrossing, (126,000 sq. ft.) and The Oaks at University Park III (80,500 sq. ft.), bring the total product added to the market for 2015 up to 367,695 sq. ft. This surpasses the amount delivered in the entirety of the previous year, when just over 315,000 sq. ft. was added to the market. The developments were delivered nearly 30% preleased, highlighted by WellMed taking 39,000 sq. ft. at The Oaks. Major news coming out of downtown is the city coming to an agreement with Weston and Frost Bank for a new 450,000 sq. ft. office tower to be built. Frost Bank is set to relocate their headquarters into the building and take 60% of the space. This will be the first office tower to be built in the CBD since the 1980s.

The quarter also saw it’s fair share of increased demand, as user requirements saw a jump from the previous quarter. Total requirements in the market rose over 600,000 sq. ft. from Q4 2014, with a 300,000 sq. ft. request driving the spike. Total office requirements ended the quarter at over 4 million sq. ft., showing that the market is quite in demand and should see tenants fill available space.

Each finished the quarter with 160,500 sq. ft. and 157,418 sq. ft. of positive net absorption respectively. Large contributions include the completions of 8100 Potranco, which added the entire 160,500 sq. ft. of the Far Wests absorption for the quarter. The Far North also had its absorption largely affected by a new building being added to the market, with the sale leaseback of iHeart Communications building at 20880 Stone Oak Pky.

• San Antonio was named the top city for military retirees by a new study commissioned by USAA And the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Following a quarter of modest positive net absorption, 2014 ended with a much stronger one. Q4 2014 saw positive net absorption of 201,343 sq. ft., making this the second straight year of every quarter seeing positive net absorption. This also marks the fourth straight quarter where the market's vacancy rate declined, falling 70 basis points (bps) quarter over quarter, finishing the year at 15.9%. This caused total space occupied in the market to increase, up to over 22.7 million sq. ft.

MARKETVIEW
In a year that has seen pre-leasing in product under construction reach 55%, pre-leased space fell by the end of the year, mainly due to product being delivered to the market and other projects breaking ground with no pre-leasing. The quarter finished with 315,027 sq. ft. pre-leased, which accounts for almost 33% of product currently under construction.
The market was led by the Northwest submarket closing the quarter with 105,502 sq. ft. of positive net absorption. Large contributions to this total included the absorption experienced when Harland Clarke leased the entire Westridge One building, occupying 129,015 sq. ft. in Q4 2014. This was followed by 72,110 sq. ft. of positive net absorption in North Central. Negative net absorption across submarkets in the quarter was very modest, as only two submarkets finished the year by giving back space to the market. The Northeast and Far North Central submarkets, posted 4,886 sq. ft. and 1,768 sq. ft. of negative net absorption, respectively.
While not yet reaching their record levels set back in 2012, citywide average asking rates in the market rose for the third consecutive quarter. Q4 2014 saw
rates increase $0.24 per sq. ft. quarter-over-quarter, up to $20.34 per sq. ft. on a full-service gross (FSG) basis. This is more than double the rise experienced in Q3 2014. The only submarkets to see average asking rates fall were both the CBD and the South submarkets, which ended the quarter at $19.67 per sq. ft. and $15.50 per sq. ft., respectively.
The market saw activity for product under construction, as two more projects were completed for the year. The North Central also saw its second building delivered this year with the completion of 250 W Nottingham. The 68,000 sq. ft. building delivered 100% preleased to multiple tenants. Also, Westridge One at La Cantera delivered in the Northwest and, as with 250 W Nottingham, was 100% preleased to Harland Clarke. With the completion of Westridge One, Westridge Two began construction, which will add another 128,700 sq. ft. to the Northwest. One51 Office Centre broke ground in the Far West and will add 100,000 sq. ft. to the market upon its completion, which is expected next year. The market is expected to see three more projects deliver within the first half of 2015, combining for over 300,000 sq. ft. added to the market.

UNEMPLOYMENT
After seeing unemployment remain stagnant in the previous quarter, rates saw a slight decrease of 10 bps in the month of October. The San Antonio-New Braunfels seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dipped slightly to 4.6%, matching its lowest levels since the end of 2008. Unemployment also continued its downward trend at the national level, falling another 40 bps to 5.8%. State unemployment levels remained steady at 5.1%.
OFFICE RENTS
Citywide asking rates inched closer to the 2012 record high, as average rates rose another $0.24 per sq. ft. up to $20.34 per sq. ft. Since the beginning of 2014, citywide rates have seen 3% growth. All classes across the market experienced an increase this quarter, with the largest coming from Class C product at $0.34 per sq. ft. quarter-over-quarter. This was followed by Class B rates, which matched the growth seen by the overall market at $0.24 per sq. ft., and finally Class A product with a $0.09 per sq. ft. increase.
OFFICE PRODUCT
The San Antonio office market saw the delivery of two more projects, with both totalling over 190,000 sq. ft. and brought the total for delivered product in 2014 to over 200,000 sq. ft. The North Central saw the completion of 250 W Nottingham Pl (68,000 sq. ft.) and the Northwest with Westridge One (129,015 sq. ft.), the first building of the new Westridge at La Cantera Office Park across from the Shops at La Cantera. Both buildings were fully leased upon completion.
Coinciding with the deliveries were two more projects breaking ground, causing total office space under construction to finish the year at 960,080 sq. ft. Westridge Two is set to add another 128,700 sq. ft., while One51 Office Centre will add 100,000 sq. ft. in the Far West.

San Antonio OfficeMarketView
CBRE Global Research and Consulting Q3 2014
The San Antonio office market had another positive quarter posting positive 33,490 sq. ft. of net absorption and a vacancy rate of 16.6%. As the office market has shown its strength over the year developers have continued to bring new product out of the ground. While most of the new construction has broken ground in the suburban markets, it is possible the downtown area could see new office construction as well.
Over the summer, the City of San Antonio received a proposal from Frost Bank and Weston Urban LLC outlining plans, with several moving parts to it, for a new Class A office tower in downtown San Antonio. The proposal calls for a 400,000-sq.-ft. office tower to be built near the location of the current Frost Bank headquarters on Houston Street. Frost Bank would relocate its operations to the new building and would then sell its 338,000-sq.-ft. office building it currently occupies, along with a parking garage, to the city. This transaction would give San Antonio the opportunity to consolidate several of its offices into one location downtown. Also in the proposal, developer Urban Weston is looking to obtain several downtown buildings with plans for residential development. While this new development would give Frost Bank brand new office space, it could also bring a fresh new block of space to the Alamo City office market.
If delivered, Frost Bank would only occupy 250,000 sq. ft. out of the 400,000 sq. ft. of new office space.
This would give the CBD 150,000 sq. ft. of much needed new space it desperately needs and would help in the efforts to bring companies to the city center.
While the possibility of new construction downtown continues, more space is breaking ground in the suburban markets. Local office developer, R.L. Worth & Associates, began speculative construction on Heritage Oaks III located in the North Central submarket. This Class A project will bring over 100,000 sq. ft. of space to the local market over four stories. The same developer broke ground on another office building down the road known as RidgeWood Plaza. Also over four stories, this high end Class A development will span 147,000 sq. ft., and already has its first tenant lined up. EOG Resources will occupy 36,750 sq. ft., taking an entire floor.
The San Antonio construction scene is definitely in a better place than it was a year ago, and certainly better than it has been in several years. In Q3 2014 there was a total of 928,395 sq. ft. of new office product under construction, and more is expected to break ground. According to a report by McGraw Hill Construction, the San Antonio metro area was amongst the top 10 construction markets in the nation. The positive turn the market has taken in terms of construction can be attributed to Alamo City having one of the best performing economies in the country.

Source: CBRE Research, Q3 2014.The San Antonio office market saw positive 33,490 sq. ft. of positive net absorp-tion for Q3 2014, with a slight decrease in overall vacancy to 16.6%. While the market did experience its fair share of occupancies over the quarter, it only partially offset the few sizable blocks that came back onto the market. The largest vacancies experienced in Q3 2014 came out of University Business Park Center D by Harland Clarke (42,262 sq. ft.), Bromley Communications (43,000 sq. ft.) at 401 East Houston Street, and a vacancy by Pape Dawson (31,294 sq. ft.) into their own build to suit. With the large amount of new development, both speculative and build to suit, the market may experience more sizable move outs like these in Q4 2014, but much of this will likely be leveled out by tenants absorbing new space.
Notable Deals from Q3 2014 include: • EOG Resources signed a lease for 36,750 sq. ft. making them the first on the
tenant roster at RidgeWood Plaza.
• Bromley Communications will go into 14,658 sq. ft. at IBC Centre I.
• HealthSmart Holdings signed a lease for 12,885 sq. ft. at Ridgwood Business Cener I.
• The Texas Commission for the Blind (DARS) will occupy 11,582 sq. ft. at the Woodcock Building.
• At Bank of America Plaza Insight Global signed a lease for 7,456 sq. ft.Source: CBRE Research, Q3 2014.

San Antonio OfficeMarketView
CBRE Global Research and Consulting Q2 2014
The San Antonio office market has already begun to outpace 2013 with another quarter of positive net absorption. Net absorption for Q2 2014 was 276,155 sq. ft., bringing total absorption for the first half of the year to 629,382 sq. ft. Vacancy in Q2 2014 dropped down to 16.8%, an 80-point basis point (bps) decline from Q1 2014. The office market picked up where it left off in the first quarter, and much of the market’s strength right now can be attributed to the local economy.
In April, the San Antonio-New Braunfels unemployment rate posted at 4.8%. The Alamo City hasn’t seen an unemployment dip below 5% since June of 2008, when unemployment was reported at 4.9%. This six-year low is evidence of how strong the economy has become, and is expected to continue to perform. In March, San Antonio made history by rising above the one million mark of people actively employed within the metro area. As companies continue to look for opportunities to establish and expand their presence in San Antonio, the commercial real estate market is more than likely to continue benefiting positively from it.
Computer hardware and software developer Oracle recently announced plans to bring 200 jobs to the San Antonio area over the next two
years. According to a newsletter put out by the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation (SAEDF), 360SA eNews Report, the company will bring finance and contractual support jobs to the workforce. According to the report County Judge Nelson Wolff says “Oracle’s interest in locating operations here is proof that our economy is strong and our business climate is attractive to such global companies. This also affirms that we are building a diverse multi-industry economy where our residents can find meaningful career opportunities.” Oracle has already signed a 35,364-sq.-ft. lease at the Spectrum Building, where it will offer jobs with salaries starting at $70,000.
The booming economy has certainly had a positive impact on the San Antonio office market, and shows no signs of slowing down. As a result, deal activity has picked up and developers have begun to answer the need for new office product with new construction throughout the city. According to the SAEDF, there are currently 116 companies considering the Alamo City for location and expansion opportunities. It is hopeful that the office market will maintain its momentum into the second half of the year.

Net absorption for Q2 2014 was 276,155 sq. ft. with an overall vacancy rate of 16.8%. Activity experienced in Q2 2014 has already put the office market above year-to-date net absorption for 2013, totaling 629,382 sq. ft. thus far. Every Class had positive net absorption with the Class A sector having the most, at 120,171 sq. ft., pushing Class A vacancy down to 8.9%. The larger than usual net absorption San Antonio recorded in the first half of the year can be at-tributed to larger deal sizes. With the economy on its side, San Antonio is starting to attract the eye of larger office users of all types. As new Class A office product offers the size requirements needed by large tenants, it is possible San Antonio will see an increased amount of larger deals in the future.
Notable Deals from Q2 2014 include: • At Promenade One and Two at Éilan, several tenants signed leases totaling
68,799 sq. ft., bringing both buildings to 100% occupancy.
• At the Trinity Building, High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) signed a lease totaling roughly 54,486 sq. ft.
• Oracle will open their operations at the Spectrum Building where they signed a lease for 35,364 sq. ft.
• Nielsen has expanded by 16,113 sq. ft. at the Brownwood Building
• Westwood Professional Services (5,000 sq. ft.) and EOG (10,000 sq. ft.) wereadded to the tenant roster at the new office development Ridgewood Business Center I.

Hospitality (4,890 jobs), Professional and Business Services (3,640 jobs), and
Retail Trade (3,070 jobs). Financial Activities and Manufacturing job sectors
experienced job losses over the year giving up a total of 100 jobs. The Texas

ing it the leader in job gains according to an article in the San Antonio Express
News. The national jobless rate also took a dip in the month of April posting
at 6.3%.
OFFICE RENTSFull service gross asking rates, for available office space, increased by $0.26
per sq. ft. to $20.00 per sq. ft. in Q2 2014. Nearly every submarket saw a
jump in asking rates over the quarter with the exception of the South submar-
ket, which remained flat at $20.14 per sq. ft. and the North Central submar-
ket, which decreased to $21.36 per sq. ft. Though the North Central sector
saw a drop in Q2 2014, it continues to have the highest average asking rate
city-wide. Class A and B asking rates remained healthy at $24.07 and $19.73
per sq. ft., respectively. NNN asking rates for available office space increased
city-wide in Q2 2014 to $15.55 per sq. ft.
OFFICE PRODUCTConstruction officially broke ground over the quarter on Lockhill Crossing. The
new Class A office building will be located in the city’s Northwest submarket,
along Loop 1604. The building will be 126,626 sq. ft. over five floors. Ac-
cording to an article in the San Antonio Business Journal, Lockhill Crossing is
being built on a speculative basis and is already 16% leased to two tenants.
The developer of the project, Stream Realty Partners, recently announced plans
for another speculative office project known as One51 Office Centre, which
will be located on the city’s Far West side. The new office building will be up
to 100,000 sq. ft. and is set to break ground sometime in the third quarter.
WestRidge at La Cantera already has a tenant lined up, bringing this new
office development to full occupancy. Upon completion Harland Clarke will
move its headquarters to the 129,016-sq.-ft. Class A building located in the
Northwest submarket. Developers plan to break ground on a second building
at WestRidge in the fourth quarter.
