GTA Market Overview

Market Overview

The overall vacancy rate in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) office market in Q1 2016 remained stable at 4.8 percent, while the availability rate increased slightly to 9.8 percent. Most office markets saw their vacancy rates remain relatively unchanged as the GTA office market continues to be steady. With the GTA office market remaining firm, rental rates throughout the region continue to increase. Of the available space on the market in Q1 2016, the average asking net rent increased to $18.68 from $17.19 in Q4 2015. The rent is partially being driven up by the high demand and low supply for quality space within certain submarkets such as Downtown East, Downtown West, Yonge-Bloor and Yonge-St. Clair. The suburban GTA West office market is also experiencing an increase in rental rates as more companies are demanding higher quality office space. Almost five million square feet of office space is currently under construction, with about two million square feet of space set to be delivered throughout the year. Many of the new office buildings that have been recently completed or are set to be completed within the year have been fully or almost fully leased, meaning that a large amount of space is available but currently occupied. A test of the market will be whether this space is leased or becomes vacant in 2016.

Investment MarketThe Toronto investment market saw a decrease in transactions during Q1 2016. According to RealNet data, there were $452 million in sales and only 39 total transactions during Q1. This decreased from 69 sales totaling $2.1 billion in the previous quarter. According to Real Capital Analytics, although the average sale price per square foot was the largest in Q1 2016 since Q3 2014, Toronto saw its lowest quarterly sales volume since Q1 2015. The GTA had a smaller number of transactions over the past year due to limited supply of quality assets. The largest property sold in Q1 2016 was the Allstate Corporate Centre in the GTA North, purchased by Crown Realty Partners and Crestpoint Real Estate Investments Ltd. for $148,550,000. Overall, GTA North was the market with the largest volume of sales in Q1 2016 ($165 million). The GTA West and Midtown markets also had more than $100 million in sales ($126 million and $136 million respectively).

Occupier DemandThe financial services sector continues to lead the demand for office space primarily in the Downtown market and specifically in the Downtown South, Financial Core and Downtown West submarkets. Financial services tenants typically occupy Class AAA and Class A office buildings, the current availability rate in these office buildings ranges between 8.2 percent and 11.2 percent, which will facilitate the process of meeting the occupier demands. The engineering sector comes next in the demand for office space in both the GTA West and the GTA North markets, clustered in areas with other companies of the same industry.

Q1


DowntownThe overall vacancy rate within the Downtown office market was stable this quarter and remains at 2.5 percent. However, the availability rate increased in Q1 2016 to 9.8 percent from 9.2 percent in Q4 2015. The increase in availability rate is partially due to buildings owners listing office space that is still occupied, but will be vacated by numerous tenants that are set to move to new buildings. As the success of newly/under construction buildings continues within the downtown, the availability rate should continue to increase. A test of the market will be whether the available space will continue to be leased before it ever becomes vacant. While rents increased slightly in the Downtown office market, rental rates within the Downtown East and West submarkets continue to rise at a faster pace than the rest of the market. Demand remains high and supply low for space in Downtown East and West, leading to the higher rents.

Trends > Gross rental rates within Downtown East and West in Q1 2016 were $45.09 and $40.94 respectively.

> The overall Downtown average gross rental rate for all asset classes is $54.46 in Q1 2016.

> Approximately two million square feet of office space could be delivered to the Downtown market throughout 2016 – much of which is already pre-leased.

Central NorthThe Central North market experienced a negative absorption of 10,918 square feet this quarter. Despite the negative absorption recorded within the market, the North Yonge Corridor submarket recorded a positive absorption, primarily in Class A buildings. Office condos in this market are the most active within the city of Toronto, recording more sales over the past few years and spurring new office condo developments in the near future. The average price per square foot of an office condo in a Class A building ranges between low $600s and low $700s, depending on many other factors such as size and configurations.

Trends > Average net asking rates rose by five cents from Q4 2015 to reach $18.23 in Q1 2016.

> The vacancy rate slightly increased to 2.8 percent this quarter but is still considered low.

Central EastThe office leasing activity in the Central East market was not entirely robust during the first quarter of 2016 with a few small to mid-sized office tenant movements in this quarter and almost no change in absorption. However, the availability rate is at 10.8 percent and with the current availability of big blocks of office space in the Central East market, it is expected to see more leasing activity during 2016.

Trends > Average asking net rental rates slightly increased to $12.88 per square foot.

> No sale activity was recorded in the Central East market during Q1 2016.

GTA WestThe GTA West office market was mostly stagnant throughout Q1 2016 as it relates to key indicators such as vacancy rates and absorption figures. Some of the highlights included some large office renewals, the largest being Desjardins General Insurance Group at 3 Robert Speck Parkway within Mississauga City Centre. With just over 536,000 SF of office space under construction or being delivered in 2016, we can expect tenant inducements to continue to rise as landlords compete for tenancies. Another continuing trend in the GTA West which is largely due to increased occupancy costs is tenant densification. Tenants are continuing to demand higher quality in the GTA West that is near amenities and transit. The demand for this type of office space will continue throughout 2016.

Trends > The demand for newer space in the GTA West should continue as the flight to quality keeps driving new development. The end of Q1 saw the delivery of two new office buildings and we will likely see another 250,000 SF of new office space delivered by the end of 2016.

> Numerous office property sale transactions took place in the GTA West in Q1 2016 as REITS and pension funds continue to be the most active. Sales in the GTA West totaled about $125,000,000 with the average price per SF being around $200.

Glossary

Weighted Average Asking Net Rent: The dollar amount requested by landlords for an available space, expressed as an average based on the weight of available space.

Availability: The total amount of space that is currently being marketed as available for lease or sublease at the end of the quarter. It includes space that is available, regardless of whether the space is vacant or occupied.

Net Absorption: The net absorption in available space in a given market between the current quarter and the previous quarter.

Direct Availability: Space that is being offered for lease directly from the landlord or owner of a building, not space by another tenant in the building trying to sublet a space that has already been leased.

Sublease Availability: Sublet space that is available for sublease by a tenant to another lessee for a term equal to or shorter than that held by the tenant under its original lease with the landlord.

Under Construction: Buildings where actual ground breaking has occurred (site excavation or foundation poured) and construction is ongoing (not abandoned or discontinued) but for which a certificate of occupancy has not yet been issued.

New Supply: Total square footage with completed construction, where all that remains is the installation of tenant finishes.

Days on the Market (DOM): How many days an available industrial property has been on the market for.
