SPECIAL REPORT
Eastside Village
Thoroughfares such as Airport Boulevard, Manor Road
and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard are examples
of core transit corridors connecting the Central
Eastside to the rest of Austin, and many retailers are
capitalizing on the added traffic generated by the
increased accessibility. Manor Road, for example,
has several of the hippest new bars outside of the
downtown and East 6th areas, as well as Salty Sow,
one of Austin’s must-eat restaurants, as evidenced
by Michelle Obama’s recent patronage during this
year’s SXSW conference. Lincoln Ventures is one of
the first office developers to capitalize on the Manor
Road frenzy with two creative office buildings under
construction at The Station on Manor – just blocks
away from the MLK Station TOD – and another
mixed-use development set to break ground later
this year: 2015 Manor, which has already signed
Texas Mutual Insurance Company for approximately
270,000 sf.
Upper Eastside
The Upper Eastside, defined by the area north of
51st Street, south of Highway 290 and west of
Highway 183, is the least developed office market.
Here you will find mainly older, Class B and C office
buildings along the highways and mid-to-late-century
homes in between. The area is not to be dismissed;
however, as just north of Highway 290 lie several
industrial complexes, and many would argue that
the Lower and Central Eastside looked much like
this area does now just a few decades ago. As the
popularity of East Austin continues to grow, tenants
and residents alike will surely desire the next, hippest
spots with affordability and proximity to downtown.
Furthermore, with Round Rock just to the north and
quickly expanding down I-35 as plans are set in
place to ease the traffic flow, the two growing areas
will have to meet somewhere in between.

2Q UPDATE
Last quarter, Austin’s CBD saw the
biggest quarter-over-quarter jump in asking
Class A rental rates of all time: a $3.88 jump
from 4Q 2015 to 1Q 2016. The primary
cause of this spike can be attributed to the
dramatic increases in operating expenses.
This quarter, the positive trend continued,
though much more steadily, with a stable
$0.41 increase to $47.93. The fact that
there was not a negative shift in rental rates
from such a drastic spike in the first quarter
points to the strength of the market.

CBD UPDATE
Downtown asking rental rates reached
all-time highs for the second consecutive quarter
across all classes of buildings this quarter. While
the CBD saw negative absorption for the first
time in two years, the majority of this negative
activity occurred in Class B and C buildings.
When looking at the list of Class A buildings in
or near the core of downtown (the list of these
competitive set buildings can be found on page
47), over 100,000 sf of space was absorbed.
This comes in the wake of the delivery of Lincoln
Property Group’s 5th + Colorado, the first Class
A office delivery since 501 Congress one year
ago. 5th + Colorado delivered 84% occupied
with an asking rental rate of $40.00 – tying it
for the highest asking rate in Austin with 100
Congress and Frost Bank Tower.
One of the largest increases in vacancy occurred
at 301 Congress, which saw an increase in
vacancy of 44,541 sf this quarter. This can
be attributed to the fact that Gerson Lehrman
Group was occupying about 40,000 sf of
temporary space while their new space on the
14th & 15th floors was being built-out and off
market. Considering this, only six buildings saw
a true increase in directly unoccupied space,
25
with the average of those increases totaling
approximately 10,500 sf.
In total, there was just over 400,000 sf
available to lease within the downtown Class A
competitive set at the close of the quarter. This
is the highest total of available square footage
in three quarters, but well below the ten-year
average of approximately 700,000 sf. Over
the past ten years, the CBD competitive set
has added 1.3 million sf with an average total
vacancy rate of 12.3%.
With rental rates continuing to squeeze
upwards, the market for prime downtown office
space further tightened this quarter. Between
the two new office projects under construction
– 500 W 2nd and Shoal Creek Walk – there
is only 320,213 sf remaining to pre-lease.
Given these statistics, it appears as though
there is no slowdown in sight for downtown
rental rates, further highlighting the importance
of comparable spaces on the periphery of
downtown.
For an in depth analysis of increasing operating expenses, see the special
report in AQUILA’s 2015 Q4 Austin Market Report

Avg. Class A Full Service Rental Rate
Following a drop in vacancy rates
at the end of 2015, the NW submarket
has experienced an uptick in vacancy
rates this year. The 1Q 2016 vacancy
rate rose significantly in response to the
delivery of two major projects, Domain
1 and Domain 5, which introduced
over 200,000 sf of new space to the
Northwest submarket. Coupled with the
addition of IBM’s Broadmoor Campus,
the vacancy rate rose over two hundred
basis points from 4Q 2015 to 1Q 2016.
NORTHWEST UPDATE
Domain 8, currently under construction with
an estimated delivery date of 1Q 2017, will
add another 300,000 sf to the NW submarket.
This addition, which will be the largest Class A
office building at The Domain, is currently 0%
preleased. However, it is widely believed that
there are deals in place to fill most of this space
upon delivery.
This quarter, the bulk of the availability in the
competitive set can be attributed to Braker
Pointe III. As renovations are underway at
the old Harcourt building, almost 200,000 sf
of vacant space is being counted against the
area’s absorption. Out of the 132 competitive
set buildings in the Northwest submarket, only
17 saw an increase in directly available area,
while 27 experienced positive direct absorption.
Several transactions occurred this quarter in
the NW submarket. Two major properties
exchanged hands, including the 137,000 sf
Quarry Oaks III, leased by Bazaarvoice, and
the 100,000 sf Lakewood on the Park B, which
sold for approximately $21 million. Trend Micro
signed on for approximately 75,000 sf of space
at Domain 5. Accruent also recently announced
that it will consolidate its Austin headquarters in
a building at the Domain.

The flurry of activity within the Arboretum/
Domain Micromarket suggests that proximity
to amenities is a major factor attracting
tenants
to
the
Northwest
submarket.
The 2Q 2016 rental rate for this micromarket,
$36.09, is more than a dollar higher than the
rental rate for the overall submarket and quickly
approaching rates in the Southwest submarket.
At $34.62 in 2Q, rental rates in the Northwest
33
remain the lowest of the three major submarkets.
Combined with the growth of amenities in
and around the Domain, comparatively low
rental rates will likely continue to draw major
companies into the Northwest submarket.

A historically resilient submarket,
the performance of the competitive set
of Southwest Class A office buildings
remained fairly on par with the previous
two quarters. With no major deliveries
since Encino Trace in 3Q 2015, vacancy
rates steadily climbed for the third quarter
in a row, reaching its highest level in almost
four years at nearly 11%. Absorption is
now at a negative 13,653 sf for the year.

SOUTHWEST UPDATE
In spite of these seemingly adverse statistics,
asking rental rates steadily marched upwards
to a record high rate of $38.82 – the 17th
consecutive quarter of record highs – and several
new projects and leases were announced this
quarter.

uptick in absorption in the Southwest submarket

proves to be a curious
one. Landlords are proceeding cautiously
with developments, hoping to land credit or
desirable tenants like Apple or Yeti before
breaking ground. Smaller companies are still
attracted to the Southwest submarket as well
due to its proximity to Westlake Hills, where
many executives reside. There is increasing
demand for higher-quality spaces – much like
in the CBD. For example, in the Near Southwest

micromarket, there have been ten deals under
10,000 sf this year in The Terrace project alone.
The movement of tenants towards newer spaces
has caused Class A rental rates to rise while
Class C rates dropped by $1.74 this quarter.
Furthermore, Class A is the only property class to
experience positive total absorption year-to-date.

THE AQUILA
METHODOLOGY
CHANGES THIS QUARTER
•
All submarket, micromarket and individual property materials, tables and graphs prior to the appendix are
based on AQUILA research unless otherwise noted. Historically, submarket statistics have been based on
CBRE statistics. CBRE-based submarket statistics have been moved to the appendix.
•
The figures on the title pages for each of the submarkets (pages 24, 31, 37) are now based on AQUILA
research. Historically, they have been based on CBRE statistics. The figures on the title page for the citywide
update (page 18) is still based on CBRE statistics.
•
Absorption figures based on CBRE statistics have historically been our calculation of the difference of total
occupied square feet (Absorption = (NRA2 – Total Vacant SF2) – (NRA1 – Total Vacant SF1)). This differs
from CBRE’s calculation, which is measured as changes on physically occupied space — amount occupied
compared and measured to amount occupied. As of 2016 Q1, CBRE no longer discloses Total Vacant SF.
Therefore, on the datasets that are based on CBRE statistics, the absorption figures now directly reflect those
provided by CBRE, rather than on our calculation.
DEFINITIONS
CBD Competitive Set Buildings – Class A buildings located in, or near, the core of downtown
Suburban Competitive Set Buildings – newer suburban office buildings that typically have structured
parking and amenities such as conference rooms, workout facilities and/or delis
Direct Vacant SF – space that is currently vacant and immediately available to lease
Sublease Available SF – space that is currently available to sublease
Direct & Sublease Vacancy Rate = (Direct Vacant SF + Sublease Available SF)/(Net Rentable Area)
Absorption = (NRA2 – Direct Vacant SF2 – Sublease Available SF2) – (NRA1 – Direct Vacant SF1 – Sublease
Available SF1)
