Of the 24 markets that CORE Network affiliates track, 20 markets experienced positive net absorption. 18 out of 24 markets experienced a decrease in unemployment rate. But total employment in the United States is still 4.4 percent below peak 2007 levels, which continues to place pressure on the office market. After remaining unchanged in 2010, CoStar’s National Office total vacancy rate fell 110 basis points to 12.3 percent. While a solid improvement, the total vacancy rate is still well above the 10.6 percent level seen in 2006. Total net absorption from markets that CORE Network affiliates track exceeded a positive 21 million square feet in 2011. A lack of new, speculative construction continued to aid the market. Only 31.8 million square feet of office space was delivered in 2011—the lowest yearly amount in more than 30 years. This is well below the historical average of roughly 150 million square feet. Another positive sign is that total available sublease space has fallen from 61.1 million square feet at the end of 2010 to 50.7 million square feet at the end of 2011. This 20.5 percent reduction is further evidence of increased corporate confidence and a recovering office market. Despite an improvement in leasing activity and occupancy, average asking rental rates remain down nationally, on a year-over-year basis. The average asking rate for Class A was $26.85, compared to $26.96 at the end of 2010. Class B and C average asking rates also decreased to $19.56 and $16.04, compared to $19.70 and $16.43, respectively, at the end of 2010. However, several costal markets including New York, San Francisco and Portland all reported increased asking rental rates in 2011, indicating that the trend may spread inland in 2012. 4 Through the first three quarters of 2011, total sales volume reached $39.9 billion, compared to $19.6 billion over the same timeframe in 2010. The average cap rate dropped from 8.49 percent in 2010 to 8.13 percent. Cap rates have compressed in major central business districts, evidenced by the 3.39 percent cap rate resulting from the $1.77 billion sale of The Port of New York Authority Inland Terminal in New York City. The bifurcation of suburban and central business district markets became even more pronounced. More than 900,000 square feet of positive absorption in Chicago’s CBD was overshadowed by over 1.1 million square feet of negative absorption in the suburbs. On the other hand, Oklahoma City’s suburban market is much tighter than its downtown, with direct vacancies of 13.1 percent compared to 26.4 percent.

New construction will remain near record low levels. More employers plan on adding jobs compared to the previous year, which should lead to increased leasing activity. The “flight-to-quality” trend will continue in markets with elevated vacancy until landlords are in the position to raise rental rates and reduce concessions. We expect the upcoming year to be similar to 2011 with a few more markets showing increased signs of improvement.

The vacancy rate fell to 19.5 percent, driven by 490,000 square feet of net absorption in the fourth quarter. Currently 1.5 million square feet of office space is under construction. Quoted rental rates averaged $19.32 at the end of the fourth quarter, up from $19.11 in the previous quarter. Though the vacancy rate is declining and rental rates are up, tenants looking for space in the current market still have the upper hand. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The Georgia Department of Labor reports that the preliminary unemployment rate for Metro Atlanta as of November 2011 is 9.2 percent, down 1.3 percent from June 2011. This drop can be attributed to the more than 13,000 jobs added regionally as well as fewer layoffs in construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, administrative support services and accommodation & food services. The decline in the Atlanta Office Market’s vacancy rate is indicative of the recent stabilization of these sectors. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 600 Peachtree St 3438 Peachtree Rd 1075 Peachtree St 950 E Paces Ferry Rd 55 Park Place 570,371 385,313 373,035 369,583 340,146 Downtown Buckhead Midtown Buckhead Downtown 7 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 675 NE Ponce De Leon Ave. 3120 Breckinridge Blvd 750,000 344,476 January 2014 April 2012 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) City Suburban Total 66,369,069 142,209,721 208,578,790 200,411 (36,425) 163,986 Direct Vacancy % 18.5% 18.6% 18.6% Sublease Vacancy % 1.1% 0.9% 1.0% Total Vacancy % 19.6% 19.5% 19.5% Please note: Numbers in parentheses are negative.

WWW.ACKERMANCO.NET COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 BIRMINGHAM, AL MARKET OVERVIEW Birmingham ended the year with 117,500 square feet of positive absorption. Only 2 out of the 6 submarkets reported negative absorption, so hopefully the positive trend will hit the overall market in 2012. Leasing activity has been slow for new deals, but landlords have made sure to keep existing tenants in place. Rents are flat and renewing tenants are able to negotiate market rates with reasonable refurbishment improvement allowances. The only development announcement is a 170,000 square foot building in Midtown. Sublease space still presents problems and is expected to weigh down the market in 2012.

The Birmingham market is also being affected by the municipal bankruptcy of Jefferson County. Birmingham is still growing in healthcare sectors but is losing jobs related to banking. The area is home to a dozen hospitals and over 700 technology related companies. ■ Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date Colonial Brookwood 2 170,000 2nd Quarter 2013 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) CBD Suburban Total 3,971,562 13,833,424 17,804,986 18,023 99,473 117,496 Direct Vacancy % 14.0% 14.0% 14.0% Sublease Vacancy % 3.0% 4.0% 3.8% Total Vacancy % 17.0% 18.0% 17.8% Largest Tenant Transactions In 2011 Tenant Submarket Adddress Size (sf)) FEMA (6 month; tornado relief) Cahaba Govt Benefit (renewal) Allstate (renewal) Baker Donelson (renewal / expansion) Brown Mackie College CBD 280/I-459 280/I-459 CBD Oxmoor Regions Plaza Meadow Brook 500 Meadow Brook South Wells Fargo Vulcan Building 140,000 135,000 75,000 67,700 50,000 HARBERT REALTY SERVICES WWW.HARBERTREALTY.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 CHICAGO, IL MARKET OVERVIEW Leasing activity and absorption showed unexpected, but marked improvement in Chicago’s CBD with direct vacancy falling 90 basis points during 2011. Rental rates grew slightly in Class A buildings as the “flightto-quality” trend continues. The Suburbs continued to struggle and experienced more than 1.1 million square feet of negative absorption. No speculative construction is underway in the CBD or Suburbs. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The Chicago metropolitan unemployment rate is currently 9.6 percent, well above the national average of 8.2 percent. Despite a decline in total employment of 6.2 percent since January 2008, the total amount of occupied space is down just 0.3 percent in the CBD. This is largely due to Chicago-based companies such as Groupon rapidly expanding their space requirements. Numerous tenants are relocating to the CBD from the Suburbs as they desire access to the younger labor force. However, due to jobs lost during the recession and sluggish job growth, vacancy rates are forecasted to increase slightly in 2012. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 500 W Monroe 200 E Randolph 233 S Wacker 111 W Illinois 10 S Dearborn 369,207 340,959 299,514 141,503 139,165 West Loop East Loop West Loop River North Central Loop 9 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 1000 W Fulton (redevelop.) 400 S Jefferson (redevelop.) 450,000 304,000 January 2013 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) City Suburban Total 130,649,210 112,250,112 242,899,322 913,519 (1,139,542) (226,023) Direct Vacancy % 15.4% 23.6% 19.2% Sublease Vacancy % 2.2% 3.0% 2.6% Total Vacancy % 17.6% 26.6% 21.8% Please note: Numbers in parentheses are negative.

However, it took 2.2 million square feet of leasing and multiple owner-occupied building purchases to produce this absorption figure. Even the healthy leasing figure of 2.2 million included several hundred thousand square feet of “charity leasing” to tax exempt philanthropic entities. Largest Blocks Of Class A Space TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Asking rental rates have been falling for the last three years. However, many lease deals are being done at 25 to 40 percent below the published asking rates. Previous downturns produced average asking rents in the $5.50 triple net range, but the current asking rate of $9.72 is not reflective of market conditions. For whatever reason, there remains a concerted reluctance to publicly advertise lower asking rents. ■ Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 9910 Federal Dr 9965 Federal Dr 565 Space Center Dr 555 Middle Creek 10807 New Allegiance Dr 100,000 100,000 90,099 90,000 60,936 Northeast Northeast Southeast Northeast Northeast 10 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date NONE Vacancy Rates Location 697,000 Direct Vacancy % 14.2% Sublease Vacancy % 0.5% 697,000 14.2% 0.5% Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) City 27,542,895 Total 27,542,895 Total Vacancy % 14.7% 14.7% Largest Tenant Transactions In 2011 Tenant Submarket Adddress Size (sf)) El Paso County Children's Hospital Aeroflex Colorado Springs Conservatory McGinnis/GMAC Real Estate Northwest Northeast Northwest CBD Northeast Garden of the Gods Corporate Point Garden Gateway Plaza - Bldg 2 Cimarron Law Building Vantage Point 300,000 60,000 25,625 17,696 11,055 CAMERON BUTCHER COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE WWW.CAMERONBUTCHER.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 DALLAS, TX MARKET OVERVIEW The city market contains almost 33 million square feet and is currently showing a vacancy rate of 29.5 percent, while the suburban market contains just over 173 million square feet and is showing a vacancy rate of 21.8 percent. There currently is almost 460,000 square feet of new development to be completed within the next year. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Business and consumer confidence remains low due to the current economy, causing the market to operate cautiously. There is a strong concern for the office market as companies merge and put space on the market for sublease. Recently, the completion of vacant new office space has reduced or negated the benefits of positive net absorption. Large office users have streamlined their space needs and have vacated large blocks of space in favor of newer, more efficient layouts. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 13737 Noel Rd 5601 Legacy Dr 350 N Saint Paul St 1601 Elm St 1011 Galatyn Pkwy 378,203 354,482 301,391 299,005 280,800 Quorum/Bent Tree Upper Tollway/West Plano CBD CBD Richardson 11 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 5851 Legacy Cir 315 E I-30 Stacy Rd @ State Hwy 121 281,600 110,000 100,000 July 2012 July 2012 December 2012 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) City Suburban Total 29,467,747 174,369,327 203,837,074 (298,338) 2,436,544 2,138,206 Direct Vacancy % 31.0% 19.3% 20.9% Sublease Vacancy % 1.0% 0.7% 0.8% Total Vacancy % 32.0% 20.0% 21.7% Please note: Numbers in parentheses are negative.

Overall vacancy rates are expected to remain relatively stable, with a slight rise in vacancy rate predicted. Leasing activity showed a positive increase and quarter over quarter leasing followed suit between the third and fourth quarters of 2011. Largest Blocks Of Class A Space TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Unemployment in Southwest Florida continues to decline. In Lee County alone, one of the hardest hit areas in Florida, January 2011 rates were at 12.7 percent dropping to 11.6 percent in July and to 10.2 percent in December 2011. Topping 600,000, Lee County’s population is now dominated by working-age people. Forbes, Inc. and Money magazines have recognized Cape Coral-Fort Myers as one of the top places to live and do business in the country. Lee and Collier counties saw a decrease in the number of existing single-family home sales, but an increase in the median price. ■ Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket University Park Metro Centre 346,413 77,272 College Corridor Metro North 13 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date Eastlinks V (Gateway) 8860 Salrose Lane 56,700 29,837 1st Qtr 2012 1st Qtr 2011 Vacancy Rates Location City Other Total Size of Market (sf) YTD Absorption (sf) 4,764,648 26,423,098 31,187,746 (36,358) (13,454) (49,812) Direct Vacancy % - Sublease Vacancy % - Total Vacancy % 13.9% 16.9% 16.4% Largest Tenant Transactions In 2011 Tenant Submarket Adddress Size (sf)) GSA Sony Source Medical Andrew Hill Investments Embarq/CenturyLink I-75/Colonial Gateway College North Naples North Naples 8860 Salrose Lane 12451 Gateway Blvd 12871 Univsersity Drive 4081 North Tamiami Trail 3530 Kraft Road 29,837 29,096 21,112 16,130 12,953 CAMERON BUTCHER COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE WWW.CAMERONBUTCHER.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 FORT WORTH, TX MARKET OVERVIEW The city/CBD market contains just over 9.5 million square feet of office space and is currently showing a vacancy rate of 13.1 percent, while the suburban market contains over 33.5 million square feet and is showing a vacancy rate of 16.6 percent. The Fort Worth market brought on line almost 42,000 square feet of new office space in 2011. There are no new office developments happening in the Fort Worth market. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The Fort Worth market continues to be at equilibrium. Leasing activity should pick up in 2012, as tenants’ real estate needs become clearer. Landlords remain aggressive in negotiations by offering concessions in order to sign new tenants and to keep their existing tenants.

A positive 117,950 square feet were leased in the first quarter. The fourth quarter recorded only 11,800 square feet of positive net absorption but it was very much welcomed after two quarters of negative results, (196,135) square feet in the third quarter and (133,774) square feet in the second quarter. An increase in leasing activity with negative net absorption suggests that many tenants downsized their space requirements throughout the year. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The vacancy rate increased to 13.5 percent after the delivery of five buildings that added 103,103 square feet to the market’s inventory. Year-to-date deliveries in eight new buildings totaled 255,878 square feet. Four more buildings are under construction to bring an additional 218,780 square feet. Rental rates also increased slightly, however at $21.41 per square feet, the averages are still over a dollar below the region’s peak rents at the end of 2009. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 5701 Cleveland St 5800 Northampton Blvd 7023-7025 Harbour View Blvd 1313 Executive Blvd 1434 Crossways Blvd 90,000 72,167 59,226 26,417 21,800 Virginia Beach CBD Airport/Northampton Harbourview/N.

WWW.DIVARIS.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 KANSAS CITY, MO MARKET OVERVIEW The Kansas City Metropolitan commercial real estate market remains a tenant friendly environment. There is very little new construction taking place. The largest transactions in 2011 have been relocations in the market with some signs that prospect activity is on the upswing. One notable point is the recent drop in the amount of sublease space on the market. With little pressure from new construction, existing properties should benefit from incremental increases in leasing activity. The vacancy rates should decline into and through 2012. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The agricultural, distribution and government services sectors continue to spur whatever growth is alive and well in the Kansas City metro area. The large engineering and design firms in our market also are improving. However, the Sprint Corporation continues to make large blocks of space available on their 3.5 million square foot campus. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 1100 Main St. 11300 Corporate Ave. 9350 Metcalf Ave. 9300 Metcalf Ave. 4250 Main St. 240,947 170,000 150,899 78,376 75,974 CBD College Blvd Northeast Johnson County Northeast Johnson County Country Club Plaza 16 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date Gibson Building Park Place Nos. 1 21201 W. 152nd 66,000 59,000 51,000 March 2011 March 2012 June 2011 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) City Suburban Total 38,343,775 69,128,247 107,472,022 347,000 194,000 541,000 Direct Vacancy % 13.5% 12.6% 12.9% Sublease Vacancy % 0.4% 0.3% 0.3% Total Vacancy % 13.9% 12.9% 13.3% Largest Tenant Transactions In 2011 Tenant EPA Burns & McDonell Eng.

WWW.LASALA-SONNENBERG.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 LOS ANGELES, CA MARKET OVERVIEW The Los Angeles office market is beginning to see a decrease in available space and an increase in investment sales activity. Positive absorption continues to improve, and with few deliveries in the pipeline to apply upward pressure on vacancy, the market is starting to stabilize. Lease rates are expected to remain soft and concessions have begun to normalize. As job creation continues and consumer confidence stabilizes, the office rental market will continue its path to recovery. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The U.S. economy plunged into a deep recession combined with a severe financial crisis in 2008 and 2009. Throughout this period, employment declined and jobless rates soared across the nation. The economy reached bottom in June 2009, ending the recession. However, Los Angeles County’s economy experienced a gradual economic improvement in 2011 with the unemployment rate fluctuating and is currently at 11.0 percent (October 2011) based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 2900 W.

The pending completion of the widening of the Panama Canal in early 2014 and the related $2 billion of infrastructure improvements currently underway at the Port of Miami should produce positive benefits for the area, including demand for office space. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Many of the South Florida submarkets in 2011 reported continued positive absorption that started in 2010. The vacancy rate for the South Florida Market decreased to 14.5 percent, with net positive absorption of nearly 850,000 square feet. Increased leasing activity has led to stabilizing rates and reduced concessions going into 2012. Confirming a strengthening market was the recent sale of the 408,000 square foot Bank of America Tower at Las Olas City Centre in Downtown Fort Lauderdale to JP Morgan for $402 per square foot. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 600 Brickell Avenue 333 Avenue of the Americas 4700-4750 T Rex Avenue 1855 Griffin Road 2300 South Congress Avenue 484,023 391,900 300,000 200,000 208,609 Brickell Downtown Miami Boca Raton North Fort Lauderdale Delray Beach 18 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 396 Alhambra, Coral Gables 21500 Biscayne, Aventura 170,185 116,645 1st Quarter 2012 3rd Quarter 2012 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) City Suburban Total 41,693,739 181,329,990 223,023,729 690,943 1,218,571 1,909,514 Direct Vacancy % 17.3% 13.5% 14.2% Sublease Vacancy % 0.5% 0.3% 0.3% Total Vacancy % 17.8% 13.8% 14.5% Largest Tenant Transactions In 2011 Tenant Crispin Porter & Bogusky, LLC Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust Co.

Vacancy rates fell in the downtown submarket but remained relatively unchanged in the suburbs. The overall trend in both the suburban and downtown markets has been positive for the year, reflecting a stabilization of the employment markets. As new development has been stagnant for the past few years, we’re anticipating a shortage of large blocks of space in some western suburbs in the next few years, which will drive rental rates closer to their pre-recession dollar amounts.

Together they make up of over 450 million square feet, of which over 230 million square feet is considered Class A. New York City is host to a diverse group on industries and is home many “Fortune 500” companies. Largest Blocks Of Class A Space TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The New York City commercial real estate market was the tale of two halves in 2011. The first two quarters witnessed a robust marketplace while the second half of the year was relatively quiet. The end result for the year was overall strong with positive absorption of approximately 2.1 million square feet in Manhattan causing vacancy rates dip to 12.1 percent while average asking rates increased to $50.17 per square foot. The year was highlighted by a number of high profile leasing transactions such as Conde Nast’s one million square foot commitment at One World Trade Center. ■ Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 85 Broad St 1 New York Plz 1221 Avenue of the Americas 11 Times Square 11 Times Square 651,513 551,825 536,617 353,551 279,866 Financial District Financial District Times Square Times Square Times Square 20 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) One World Trade Center World Trade Center - Tower Four World Trade Center - Tower Three 250 West 55th Street International Gem Tower Delivery Date 3,020,630 2,845,000 2,400,000 1,052,150 740,000 1st Quarter 2014 1st Quarter 2013 3rd Quarter 2015 1st Quarter 2014 4th Quarter 2012 Sublease Vacancy % 2.4% 1.7% 1.6% 2.0% Total Vacancy % 11.8% 10.3% 16.3% 12.3% Vacancy Rates Location Midtown Midtown South Downtown Total Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) 212,000,000 140,000,000 98,000,000 450,000,000 950,000 2,859,000 (1,675,000) 2,134,000 Direct Vacancy % 9.4% 8.6% 14.7% 10.3% Please note: Numbers in parentheses are negative.

WWW.GCOMFORT.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 NORTHERN NEW JERSEY MARKET OVERVIEW The Northern New Jersey Class A office market experienced modest improvement in 2011 with positive absorption of 1.1 million square feet. However, the Class A improvement was fueled by a flight to quality that came at the expense of the Class B & C inventories, as these two classes posted significant negative absorption numbers. The Class A vacancy rate is 14.9 percent, with the average gross asking rent rising slightly to $26.16 from $25.78 per square foot gross. Speculative construction remains muted. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Leasing velocity was primarily dominated by renewal transactions, but there were several very large lease deals consummated as a result of corporate consolidations. Lease deals remain heavy on free rent, increased tenant improvement allowances and often require base building improvements by landlords. Landlords are valuing their tenant bases more than ever, concentrating on delivering good management services and with lots of communication. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 3000 Continental 1 Continental Dr 56 Livingston Av 300 Kimball 184 Liberty Corner 543,000 490,000 434,000 400,000 365,000 West Morris Princeton North Suburban Essex Morris Cty Route 78 East 21 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 180 Park Av Florham Pk 175 Park Av Madison 325,000 275,000 3rd Qtr 2012 1st Qtr 2013 Vacancy Rates Location 1,191,500 Direct Vacancy % 14.9% Sublease Vacancy % 1.5% 1,191,500 14.9% 1.5% Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) Northern NJ 147,556,295 Total 147,556,295 Total Vacancy % 16.4% 16.4% Largest Tenant Transactions In 2011 Tenant Novo Nordisk Realogy Merrill Lynch Gemini Technology Atlantic Health Systems Submarket Adddress Size (sf)) Princeton North Morristown Hudson Waterfront Parsippany Morristown Ivy Crossing Princeton 175 Park Av, Madison 95 Greene Street, Jersey City 2 Gatehall Southgate II 777,000 275,000 259,000 204,515 190,000 WEICHERT COMMERCIAL BROKERAGE WWW.WEICHERTCOMMERCIAL.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 OKLAHOMA CITY, OK MARKET OVERVIEW Absorption of office space in Oklahoma City improved dramatically in 2011, with substantial net gains offsetting the minimal negative absorption from the second half of 2010. Average asking rates remain stable, and few large blocks of space are available. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Oklahoma’s economy is stronger than most of the rest of the country and Oklahoma City continues to enjoy broad support for its investments in urban infrastructure, venues, and schools. This is evidenced by the voters’ commitment to another penny sales tax for MAPs III projects downtown, Devon’s progress with its corporate headquarters, and Project 180’s reconstruction of all the streets within the CBD. During the next decade more than $3 billion of public and private investments are committed to the downtown area, an indication that the city’s remarkable renaissance is likely to continue. ■ Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 211 N Robinson 7919 Mid America Blvd 3030 NW Expressway 4727 Gaillardia 106,397 34,814 26,794 25,071 Downtown Southeast Northwest Downtown 22 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Devon Tower - 325 W Sheridan Ave 6005 S Air Depot Blvd Paycom - 7801 W Memorial Rd Oklahoma Diagnostic Laboratory Mustang Fuel Delivery Date 1,800,000 June 2012 320,000 1st Quarter 2012 90,000 2012 70,000 2011 38,275 2012 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) City Suburban Total 5,657,716 9,018,174 14,675,890 8,296 314,107 322,403 Direct Vacancy % 26.4% 13.1% 18.2% Sublease Vacancy % 0.1% 0.0% 0.0% Total Vacancy % 26.5% 13.1% 18.3% Largest Tenant Transactions In 2011 Tenant Submarket Adddress Size (sf)) Enogex Chesapeake Energy Vericrest Financial, Inc OHCA Midfirst CBD Northwest Memorial Midtown Midtown 211 Robinson Ave 3817 NW Expressway 13801 Wireless Way 2402 NW 23rd 2401 NW 23rd 130,000 110,998 55,152 52,000 42,000 WIGGIN PROPERTIES, LLC WWW.WIGGINPROP.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 ORANGE COUNTY, CA MARKET OVERVIEW The Orange County office market continues to show signs of stabilization, with continued improvement in vacancy and positive absorption during the end 2011. For the upcoming year, job growth may stimulate new office space demand; the decline in projected vacancy will result primarily from minimal construction. Many projects will remain in the planning process due to limited construction financing. Reduced rents and generous leasing incentives may encourage tenants to consider larger and higher-quality spaces. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The recovery has been slow and steady over the past 12 months. With a net increase of 11,700 jobs from August 2010 to August 2011, 5,600 jobs were created in leisure and hospitality and 5,400 in education and health services. Despite government, defense, and aerospace cutbacks, other industry sectors have been dampening the blow. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 18171 Von Karman Ave. 3800 Chapman Ave. 1100 Town & Country Rd. 7711 Center Ave. 2600 Michelson Dr. 140,000 82,752 80,969 80,000 60,075 Airport Central Central West Airport 23 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 1003-1011 E.

Rental rates continued to fall and the improvement in vacancy is mainly due to a few larger tenants taking occupancy of previously signed leases. One thing is for certain: it was a better year than 2010. The Phoenix market continues to lower the average quoted rates and offer landlord concessions, allowing new tenants to take advantage of market conditions. Phoenix will remain a tenant’s market until the local economy make significant strides for improvement. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The Phoenix area experienced a job growth totaling 27,100 jobs in 2011, representing 1.6 percent of the total employment base. Nearly every employment sector recorded job growth, including the construction segment. From mid-2006 through mid-2010, the sector lost 100,000 positions. In 2011, however, employers created 2,200 construction jobs. Although the Phoenix economy remains positive, forecasts predict another slow year of growth in 2012. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 1500 N. Priest Drive 13610 N.

The overall occupancy level, currently 89.6 percent, has steadily increased from low of 88.5 percent during the first quarter of 2010.

Reynolds Crossing III remains the only building under construction and is expected to deliver 63,000 square feet in the second quarter of 2012. Downtown Richmond and the Northwest quadrant saw 128,697 and 129,028 square feet of space absorbed in 2011, respectively. New construction has not weighed heavily on vacancy as of the top five new deliveries are all 100 percent occupied. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Leasing and sales activity rebounded in 2011. After a flat year, rental rates are expected to rise based on the limited availability of Class A large blocks. Vacancy rates have decreased as net absorption stayed positive throughout the year. In the first nine months of 2011, 13 sales transactions occurred with an average price per square foot of $174.42--as compared to $54.74 for the 7 transactions that were recorded over the same amount of time in 2010. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 9954 Maryland Drive 11013 W.

WWW.DIVARIS.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 SAN ANTONIO, TX MARKET OVERVIEW In spite of activity sparked by the Eagle Ford Shale play south of San Antonio, the year shows negative absorption for 2011. The AT&T sublease space returned to the market in fourth quarter. Many of the large deals completed in 2011 were moves within the market so they did not result in significant absorption. NuStar and KCI are building new facilities that will bring additional large blocks of space back to the market in 2012. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS San Antonio is Texas’ second largest city and continues to be a friendly business environment with logistic advantages favorable to businesses looking to reduce operating costs or execute efficient expansion. Positioned as a national economic leader, San Antonio has gained several enviable spots on recent Forbes’ lists and most recently a spot on Bloomberg’s “One of America’s top 50 best cities to live in” list. The Alamo city is expected to continue to draw interest of new businesses in 2012 and create additional job opportunities. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 8023 Vantage Drive 1101 Sentry Gateway 7990 W IH-10 17802 IH-10 17806 IH-10 137,080 95,000 86,047 81,241 76,585 Northwest Northwest Northwest Far Northwest Far Northwest 27 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 3503 Paesanos Parkway 1101 Sentry Gateway 17115 San Pedro Avenue 26,532 95,000 42,377 Feb-11 May-11 Dec-11 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) City Suburban Total 3,851,570 21,612,365 25,463,935 105,697 (247,430) (141,733) Direct Vacancy % 27.7% 19.6% 20.8% Sublease Vacancy % 0.3% 0.5% 0.5% Total Vacancy % 28.0% 20.1% 21.3% Please note: Numbers in parentheses are negative.

Positive net absorption of 700,373 square feet dropped the direct vacancy rate for San Diego office space to 16.6 percent at the end of 2011 from 17.1 percent in the third quarter. The San Diego office market will continue to show modest improvement for 2012. Leasing activity will gain momentum once occupational and economic conditions maintain moderate improvement. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS According to the State of California Employment Development Department, San Diego County gained 13,500 payroll jobs from August 2010 to August 2011. The unemployment rate in San Diego County was at 9.2 percent in November 2011, down from 9.7 percent in October 2011 and below the November 2010 rate of 10.6 percent. The decrease of the unemployment rate may be an indication that the San Diego job market will stabilize. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 1 Torrey Santa Fe Road 9885 Towne Centre Drive 12220 Scripps Summit Drive 401 West A Street 3570 Carmel Mountain Rd. 350,000 190,000 135,000 93,025 89,367 56 Corridor Sorrento Mesa East County Downtown Sorrento Valley 28 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 16465 Via Esprillo 5454 El Cajon Blvd. 83,000 54,776 3rd Quarter 2011 2nd Quarter 2011 Vacancy Rates Location Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) CBD Suburban Total 11,549,240 68,254,660 79,803,900 (10,103) 710,476 700,373 Direct Vacancy % 17.9% 15.5% 15.8% Sublease Vacancy % 0.5% 0.8% 0.8% Total Vacancy % 18.4% 16.3% 16.6% Please note: Numbers in parentheses are negative.

Gross leasing in Greater Silicon Valley set a new record at 15 million square feet. The explosive job growth of Facebook , Twitter, and Salesforce led the way while mainstay Apple grabbed as much space as possible in the West Silicon Valley. Palo Alto Class A rents have hit common highs of $96 while San Francisco’s South of Market jumped to many mid to high $40 rents. Watch for a burst of campus and speculative pre-entitled building announcements in 2012. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The Bay Area's dominance as the top global region for venture capital and innovation rang true in 2011. Many submarket vacancy rates are below 5 percent including Palo Alto, Mountain View and San Francisco's infamous South of Market, at 3.3 percent. There are no indications that this will slow in 2012. Expect total Bay Area office vacancy rate below 10 percent by year end. As rental rates continue to climb the pressure to deliver more space will mount. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 500 Terry Francois 55 22nd St 101 California 600 Montgomery 555 Mission 305,260 103,975 98,243 69,586 67,084 SF Mission Bay SF South Financial SF Financial SF North Financial SF South Financial 29 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date SFPUC Headquarters 188 Spear St 257,097 73,631 2nd Quarter 2012 First Quarter 2012 Vacancy Rates Location San Francisco East Bay/Oakland South Bay/San Francisco Total Size of Market (sf) Net Absorption (sf) 160,338,040 112,893,475 107,934,385 381,165,900 3,908,970 950,645 1,612,546 6,472,161 Direct Vacancy % 10.5% 12.0% 12.2% 11.1% Sublease Vacancy % 1.0% 0.4% 1.0% 0.9% Total Vacancy % 11.5% 12.4% 13.2% 12.0% Largest Tenant Transactions In 2011 Tenant Facebook Sony Salesforce Environmental Protection Agency Twitter Submarket Adddress Northern Silicon Valley Mid Peninsula SF South Financial District SF South Financial District SF SouthFinancial District Network Circle, Menlo Park Bridgepoint Park, San Mateo 50 Fremont St., SF Hawthorne Plaza, SF Market Square, SF Size (sf)) 1,000,122 450,501 412,000 259,152 214,950 RITCHIE COMMERCIAL, INC WWW.RITCHIECOMMERCIAL.COM COMPILED BY MB REAL ESTATE WWW.MBRES.COM (312) 726 -1700 ST. LOUIS, MO MARKET OVERVIEW Overall vacancy rates in the St. Louis market rose by 10 basis points from 16.9 percent to 17.0 percent. Space reductions from companies like Verizon, Sara Lee, Monsanto and Wells Fargo have contributed to a total 179,000 square feet of negative absorption in 2011. Given the continued decline in demand, rental rates have fallen by 8 percent, averaging $19.25. Average lease terms remain low, as companies delay hiring due to economic uncertainty, and hesitate to sign long-term leases. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Continuing on with the trends of 2011 – 2012 is highly favorable to the tenant in search of great lease terms and rates. Average lease terms/rates and construction will remain low until we see an increase in job growth in the area (which is projected to grow by 2 percent this year). ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 6 Cityplace Center Dr. 3470 Rider Trail S. 211 N.

MARKET OVERVIEW The Washington, D.C. market continues to be one of the top performing commercial real estate markets in the United States as key market indicators, including unemployment and office vacancy rates, outperform all Metropolitan areas across the nation. Washington DC remains the top recipient of federal procurement dollars among all Metropolitan areas. This has led to a consistently strong job market and economic stability in the region. TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Renewal activity dominates the market as the Federal Government grapples with deficit reduction measures and the private sector takes a “wait and see” approach to their real estate. Submarkets offering mixed use amenities and access to public transportation continue to demonstrate solid fundamentals while outlying suburbs suffered from a lack of tenant demand. ■ Largest Blocks Of Class A Space Adddress Size (sf)) Submarket 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue 5001 Eisenhower Avenue 5275 Leesburg Pike 1015 Half Street SE 250 E Street SW 602,000 605,000 427,000 391,000 331,000 East End I-395 Corridor I-395 Corridor Capitol Riverfront Southwest 31 Major New Developments Adddress Size (sf)) Delivery Date 800 & 810 10th Street, NW 165 N.
