Savills Studley Announces Q4 Findings for 2015
Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 23, 2016 -- Savills Studley, the leading global commercial real estate services firm specializing in tenant representation, has released its 2015 Q4 Austin edition of the Savills Studley Office Market Report.
The quarterly report is an in-depth compilation of office leasing statistics and trends, major transactions, submarket comparisons, employment trends and investment and development trends specific to the Austin region.
Highlights from the 2015 Q4 Studley Austin Report include:
• The level of office building lease activity has plunged by 15.2% with rising costs of doing business in Austin due to escalating wages and increasing rents.
• With some of the lowest concession packages for an office market in the U.S., Austin landlords will provide tenant improvement allowances, however flexibility is limited to the most creditworthy tenants.
• Similar to the Bay area, multiple submarkets in Austin are seeing pre-emptive strikes on space and a sharp increase in off-market deals- a sure sign that demand for space in a market that has very few big block options is still very robust.
• Looking ahead, Austin’s transportation infrastructure will be a threat to Austin’s future economic growth, which could have a softening effect on the Austin office market. Austin desperately needs vast improvements in the capacity of roadways and mass transit.
