Atlanta’s Northwest Office Market – 3rd Quarter Report

November 11, 2009
By Patrick Braswell

My Colliers office, here in Atlanta, just recently issued its 3rd quarter office market report for the Northwest Submarket. This includes the Cumberland/Galleria area, Marietta, and Kennesaw. Here are the highlights of the report.

- Office Vacancy Rate is 18.7%
- Year-to-Date Net Absorption is negative 246,000 SF of office space. This is like one 10-story office tower coming back onto the market for lease.
- Average Class A Office Rental Rate is $21.13/Rentable Square Foot (RSF)

Top 3 Office Leases signed in the 3rd Quarter

- Silverpop for 62,000 RSF at Galleria 200
- Omni Insurance Group for 32,000 RSF at Parkwood Point
- First Option Mortgage for 25,000 RSF at Galleria 400

Predictions for the 4th Quarter

- The vacancy rate should stay close to 18.7%
- We should see more office space leased then given back this quarter.
- Rental Rates will continue to trend down
