Commercial Real Estate Vacancies Rise Modestly but Investment Up
WASHINGTON, March 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As some tenants move to newly built locations, commercial real estate vacancies are rising modestly, following a record year for investment activity, according to the latest COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE OUTLOOK of the National Association of Realtors(R). David Lereah, NAR's chief economist, said an irony in today's commercial real estate market is that some flush tenants are contributing to rising vacancies. "Job growth has been fueling the demand for space, notably in the office sector," he said. "Even so, some tenants are not 'back filling' vacated space as they move to higher quality new space, contributing to a modest gain in vacancy rates. Office, hotel and industrial properties continue to be the most sought after commercial sectors for investment." Outside of the hospitality sector, investors channeled a record $306.8 billion to commercial real estate in 2006, up from $276.0 billion in 2005; that total does not include transactions valued at less than $5 million.
