OUTLOOK

Rental RatesRents throughout the Philadelphia CBD have remained relatively fl at. We expect Class B rates to increase due to the decreasing supply in that asset class. Look for this trend to continue through 2014.

VacancyOverall, vacancy rates have experienced minimal change. Three Franklin Plaza, 225,000 square feet, has been eliminated from the supply with its sale to a charter school. One Franklin Plaza, also left vacant by GSK’s move to the Navy Yard accounts for roughly 12% of the overall CBD vacancy.

Large Blocks of SpaceTenants looking for over 50,000 square feet of contiguous space are faced with a relatively limited supply. There are only 15 spaces over 50,000 square feet. Only 6 contiguous blocks of space greater than 100,000 square feet are available. The lack of large spaces on the market leaves large tenants with few options, this could lead to the construction of a new offi ce building.

Investment SalesThe investment sales market in Center City continues to gainmomentum. During the fi rst half of 2013 we have seen a varietyof assets trade. They range from stabilized Class-A offi ce,value-add opportunities, to re-development opportunities. The investor activity has triggered other owners to explore disposition of assets. There are currently 5 buildings comprising of 2.5 million square feet on the market.

New Offi ce DevelopmentThere has been no real change in new offi ce development in the CBD. The only offi ce development activity has been in UniversityCity and the Navy Yard. 2.0 University Place was recently completed.3737 Market Street is progressing and will be the anchored by Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. Liberty Property Trust hasseveral new buildings on the drawing board at the Navy Yard.

MULTIFAMILY ACTIVITY

Philadelphia has the third largest residential population among Central Business Districts in the Country. Over 175,000 people live in the Center City, this represents a 10% increase from 2000.* According to the 5-year estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, 57.4% of Center City residentsare renters. High demand for rental units in Center City is confi rmedby low vacancy rates along with the highest rental rates in the region. Rental apartments in Philadelphia’s CBD boasts a low vacancy rate of 3.4%. Rents have remained relatively fl at overthe last year due to the increase in inventory.

Center City continues to see the trend of Offi ce-to-Apartment conversions. Over the past 20 years 47 Center City offi ce buildingshave been converted to apartments. This has resulted in a reductionof 7,685,000 square feet of offi ce space from the market.

This trend of conversions does not seem to be slowing down as Alterra Properties, one of the developers behind the conversionof 1616 Walnut recently purchased 42 South 15th Street withthe intention to convert to 185 apartments.

Center City has seen a signifi cant amount of new construction as well. Pearl Properties is nearing completion on the construction of The Granary and the 100% pre-leased The Sansom. In addition,The John Buck Company has delivered 319 new apartments at 2116 Chestnut Street. These three buildings total 679 units of new inventory. Brandywine Realty Trust is looking to beginconstruction on 278-units at 1919 Market Street in the fall.

SSH is currently tracking 22 new apartment projects in various stages of development. These projects could add over 4,500new units by 2015, if all are completed.

Despite the infl ux of inventory to the market it is expected va-cancy rates will remain low. This is due to the absorption of pent up demand as people begin to trade up from older units and move out of their parents’ houses. Additionally, as the economy improves people will be able to afford to not have roommates.
