Welcome to 2016, Austin! 2015 was a year of strong commercial real estate growth in the state’s capital. A number of records across individual sub-markets and micromarkets were broken over the course of the year with regard to vacancy rates and asking full service rental rates. In 2015, Austin as a whole absorbed 2,806,508 sf of space in both direct and subleasable space. This year also had 2,671,968 sf of office space delivered as new prod-uct. At the end of 2014, the citywide vacancy rate was 10.56% and now it is at 9.64%. Those two sets of numbers illustrate the continuous strength of the office market in Austin. More space was absorbed than delivered and the vacancy rate went down even with an extraordinary amount of new product coming online. Asking full service rental rates also increased by $1.03/sf from $34.78/sf in 4Q 2014 to $35.81/sf.

There is more to come, too. Oracle announced that it will be breaking ground on a three building 560,000 sf campus just outside of downtown while increasing their already large Austin workforce by more than 50% over the next couple of years. Multiple buildings are currently under construction downtown that will deliver within the next two years that have already been 40% pre-leased.

Forbes recently tabbed Austin as the No. 1 Boom-town in the U.S., which ranks the cities most likely to prosper in the next ten years.¹ They used eight metrics, equally weighted: the percentage of chil-dren in the population aged 5 to 14 (families with younger children often move when school looms or more space is need-ed); the birth rate from 2010-14; net domestic migra-tion from 2010-14; the percentage of the population aged 25-44 with a bachelor’s degree; income growth from 2010-15; the unemployment rate; and population growth from 2010-14. Austin came out on top “in terms of population growth, up 13.2% between 2010 and 2014, in large part driven by the strongest rate of net domestic in-migration of the 53 largest metro-politan areas over the same span: 16.4 per 1,000 residents. The educated proportion of its population between 25 and 44 is 43.7%, well ahead of the national average of 33.6%.” Forbes wasn’t the only publication to pay attention to Austin. Throughout 2015, Austin was ranked highly on a number of publications’ lists for top cities.

The addition of the soon-to-be completed University of Texas Dell Medical School should increase the presence of the biotech and medtech industries due to 600,000 sf of education, care, and research space opening in 2016. The area around the new medical school has been designated as an Innova-tion District with the intent of attracting research fa-cilities, startups, and other innovators in the life sci-ences field to not only work with the medical school, but with the University of Texas’s other world-class

academic departments. In addition to the creation of the Innovation District, the University Medical Center Brackenridge, Austin’s primary trauma hos-pital, will be decommissioned and have its func-tions absorbed into the new teaching hospital. After the transition is complete, UMC Brackenridge is to

be torn down and redeveloped into a health-focused mixed use project incorporating hous-ing, offices, hospi-tality, and retail.

With all of this grandiose informa-tion regarding the

vibrancy of the Austin market, there are some mark-ers to keep an eye on. In the Special Report section of this quarter’s Market Report (see pages 7 – 10), we are focusing on the role property taxes play in the operating expenses of Austin’s office buildings. Changes in the way Travis County has conducted its tax assessments on commercial properties has led to higher valuations and therefore higher operating expenses. In 2015, our sample data showed prop-erty taxes comprised 45.81% (up from 31.36% in 2011) of the overall operating expense value. Large jumps in operating expenses have the potential to depress some of the office growth Austin has seen recently (two buildings in the CBD have operating expenses of $21.75 for 2016). Additionally, the perennial issues of traffic/mobility and affordability for housing have the ability to undermine the strong economic growth of the city. Again, the positive in-dicators are very strong for Austin as we head into 2016, so we are continuing to anticipate more up-beat news in future Market Reports.

ESTATE GROWTH IN THE STATE'S CAPITAL.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH ALL THE OP/EX?

SPECIAL REPORT

The beginning of the calendar year generally is the time landlords adjust their properties’ budgets. Operating expenses (op/ex) are a key component of this fine-tuning, which includes variables such as property taxes, utility costs, janitorial costs, etc. When looking at the appendix of this report (pages 46 – 62), you will notice an almost universal increase in each building’s operating expenses when compared to their previous quarters’ values (84 up arrows, 7 down arrows), which makes sense because utility rates have been raised over the years, labor rates have increased for maintenance and services, and inflation, in general, makes things cost more.

What’s staggering, however, is the amount by which these operating expenses have increased. When analyzing all of our competitive set buildings¹ since 2007, the average operating expenses per building increased more this year than any other by a long-shot: an astounding $1.18 more than their 2015 values.

So, why is there this suddenly drastic spike in operating expenses? For this quarter’s special report, we delve deeper into one of the primary underlying components of operating expenses: property taxes.

The Travis County Appraisal District (TCAD) has been under some scrutiny lately in regards to its appraisal methods of commercial properties. The City of Austin filed a lawsuit against the appraisal district in the Fall of 2015 stating that they value commercial and vacant land properties well below market values, thereby placing the majority of the tax burden on homeowners². In a 2015 study done by The University of Texas at Austin, it was found in a sample of 417 transactions done between 2012 and 2014 that the average undervaluation by TCAD of the commercial properties sold was 47% of their fair market value³. One of the primary causes of this discrepancy is the fact that Texas is one of only five states to not mandate the disclosure of sales price data for commercial properties. This has undoubtedly caused some eyebrows to raise—including our own—to observe how TCAD sought to alleviate this problem in 2015 and 2016, and the effects it has on property owners as well as tenants.

SPECIAL REPORT

METHODOLOGY:

For our study, we took a random sample of thirty buildings across the three primary Austin submarkets (CBD, Northwest and Southwest) whose op/ex numbers we track each quarter, and whose op/ex values changed from the previous quarter, to ensure that the op/ex values are updated and currently reflective of their 2016 values. For these thirty buildings, we then found their appraised values and tax rate for each year from 2011-2015 (TCAD only lists appraisals going back five years, and has not yet released 2016 appraised values). From these values, we were able to calculate the percentage of operating expenses that is comprised of property taxes for that year using the following formula:

Where “Op/Ex” is the value charged by landlords for operating expenses per square foot of rentable area. We then averaged the following values for each year across all thirty buildings: Op/Ex ($/sf), Assessed Value ($/sf), and Taxes as % of Op/Ex. We were left with the following summary (see Table 1).

To compare these values against one another, we plotted them as percent changes over time with 2011 being the reference point (see Graph 1).

RESULTS:

From Graph 1 the most notable takeaways are:

• Dramatic increases in both the Average Assessed Value and Average Taxes as % of Op/Ex from 2014 to 2015 relative to previous years, despite the fact that the actual tax rates decreased over this same time period

• Dramatic increase in Average Op/Ex from 2015 to 2016 rela-tive to previous years

What does this mean? Primarily, it shows that TCAD has indeed stepped up their appraisal values of commercial properties drasti-cally since coming under pressure by the city of Austin, as seen in the

SPECIAL REPORT

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

Landlords: While we do not expect 2016 appraisal values to decrease from their 2015 values by any means, we believe that the spike experienced in 2015 will help curb the increases in 2016 values as TCAD’s appraisal methods bring commercial properties’ appraisal values nearer to actual fair market values. However, you might drive prospective tenants away with too high of operating expenses in the future if nothing is done to lower the non-tax portion of your op/ex. If money is invested now in equipment that require less maintenance and consume less energy, you will be able to dampen the rate of increase for your operating expenses, thereby making your properties more competitive and attractive to prospective tenants.

Tenants: Don’t let the sticker shock of drastically higher 2016 operating expenses scare you! This spike likely repre-sents a very short-term trend, and while operating expenses will probably not get any cheaper in the near future, they should not continue to grow at the rate they did this year as TCAD’s commercial property appraisals approach true fair market values. Therefore, it would behoove you to factor in these increases into your 2017 budget. Furthermore, if you are a tenant out in the market looking for new space, you can use this year’s high operating expenses as a tool to negoti-ate for a lower base rental rate. For example, being that operating expenses jumped several dollars per square foot for buildings downtown, that submarket may be an unviable option now. Point to this spike in operating expenses as what has made the space out of your budget, and negotiate the base rental rate down to an affordable level.

¹Competitive set buildings are considered Class A office buildings located in, or near the core of downtown, and newer suburban office buildings that typically have structured parking and amenities such as conference rooms, workout facilities and/or delis.

nearly 80% increase in appraised value per square foot over four years, with nearly half of that increase occurring in the last year. Secondly, Average Taxes as % of Op/Ex increased drastically in 2015, whereas Average Op/Ex remained on a relatively steady incline over the same. This shows that landlords were not quite prepared to pass the cost of the higher property taxes onto their tenants. They seem to have made up for this discrepancy in the new op/ex figures, though, as the dramatic spike in Average Op/Ex occurs in 2016.

CENTRAL BUSINESSDISTRICT 4Q UPDATE

3,066 SFNet Absorption

7.07% Direct & Sublease Vacancy Rate

$43.64Avg. Class A Full Service Rental Rate

Another quarter of vacancy rate decline occurred this quarter across the CBD for all office building classes. The rate dropped 76 basis points from an already low 7.83% to 7.07% for all direct and subleasable space. Our competitive set of downtown office buildings (the list of Class A buildings located in, or near, the core of downtown can be found on page 50), moved to a shockingly low 4.53%. Next quarter, the competitive set of buildings will grow larger with the delivery of the NorthShore office building (23,592 sf) and 5th + Colorado (179,000 sf).

Page 17: AQUILA Austin Market Report Q4 2015

As of the end of 4Q 2015, NorthShore is 100% pre-leased and 5th + Colorado is 31% pre-leased with some other deals reportedly in the works. There will not be another new office building delivered until 1Q 2017, when the already 42% pre-leased 500 W 2nd will bring 489,404 sf to the downtown skyline. With that being noted, vacancy rates should remain low for the foreseeable future. For the year, vacancy

rates in the competitive set of buildings dropped almost three whole percentage points from 7.52% in 1Q 2015 to 4.53% in 4Q 2015. This drop occurred even with the addition of 143,151 sf of office space that came with the delivery of the Seaholm Power Plant redevelopment. Even more impressive was the lowering of the vacancy rate across all class types during 2015, plummeting from 12.81% to the 7.07% of this quarter.

Class A asking full service rental rates are showing a decline for the overall CBD market this quarter, falling from $44.17/sf last quarter to $43.64/sf in 4Q 2015. Conversely, the competitive set has spiked upward by $3.33/sf this quarter, surging from a previous record of $48.70/sf to a new all-time high of $52.03/sf. The competitive set of buildings include the new operating expense values for the upcoming year, whereas it appears this is not the case for the CBRE dataset (please see the Special Report found on pages 7 – 10 of this report to see why operating expenses have climbed so quickly for 2016). The large upswing in operating expenses plays a major role in the large jump in full service rates for the CBD.

There were not any new deliveries this quarter in the CBD, but there are four buildings currently under construction. The previously mentioned buildings under construction (NorthShore, 5th + Colorado, and 500 W 2nd St) are joined by Shoal Creek Walk, which will deliver 218,432 sf of leasable office space in 3Q 2017 and is already 39% preleased to Cirrus Logic.

Like last quarter, only two existing buildings have blocks of available space above 20,000 sf this quarter. The low vacancy rates and limited large blocks are continuing to limit companies looking to grow downtown or move into the CBD.

8.99% Direct & Sublease Vacancy Rate

$34.14Avg. Class A Full Service Rental Rate

The vacancy rate for all classes of build-ings in the Northwest (NW) submarket fell from 9.96% to 8.99%. The competitive set of buildings (the list of newer suburban of-fice buildings that typically have structured parking, amenities such as conference rooms, workout facilities and/or delis can be found on page 55) also saw a drop in the vacancy rate, dipping down to 9.91% from last quarter’s 10.64%.

Page 28: AQUILA Austin Market Report Q4 2015

NORTHWESTSUBMARKET UPDATEOne item of note that was mentioned in last quar-ter’s report, the overall market net rentable area tracked by CBRE for both 3Q 2015 and 4Q 2015 does not include Paloma Ridge A & B, two Class A buildings combining for 212,400 sf that deliv-ered in 3Q 2015. These two buildings are 100% vacant and their exclusion from the overall office vacancy rate significantly deflates its value. The Paloma Ridge buildings are included in the com-petitive set, though. Impressively, the competitive set vacancy rate still dropped even with the deliv-ery of three new buildings (Research Park Plaza V, Quarry Oaks III, and Aspen Lake Two). As 2015 came to a close, all-time records were set across each of the three micromarkets.

Records were broken in the NW submarket’s full service asking rental rates in 4Q 2015, as well. Across all Class A buildings, full service asking rental rates increased for the eighth straight quar-

ter, jumping from $33.26/sf to $34.14/sf. The competitive set rates also increased this quarter, climbing to $34.30/sf from $33.55/sf. In our competitive set, 36% of the buildings we track raised their base asking rates, whereas only 1.5% lowered their rate.

As mentioned previously, there were three deliv-eries this quarter in the NW submarket. Both Re-search Park Plaza V (172,854 sf – 30% pre-leased to Planview) and Aspen Lake Two (129,000 sf – 100% pre-leased to Q2) are located in the Far Northwest micromarket and Quarry Oaks III (137,615 sf – 100% pre-leased to Bazaarvoice) is located in the Arboretum/Domain micromarket. As 2015 closes, there are only three projects cur-rently under construction in the NW submarket, all located in the Domain and 0% pre-leased (Domain 1 – 1Q 2016 delivery – 124,571 sf, Domain 5 – 2Q 2016 delivery – 74,787 sf, and Domain 8 – 4Q 2016 delivery – 255,000 sf).

The Arboretum/Domain micromarket’s vacancy rate went down and asking rental rate went up from last quarter, rebounding from a quarter that saw oppo-site movement for each metric. Both the 5.99% vacancy rate and the $34.82/sf average asking full service rental rate are all-time records for this micromarket. The three Domain projects will be entering the market at a time when new product is warranted.

The Shepherd Mountain micromarket continues to strengthen as it decreased vacancy rates for the fourth straight quarter (now at 9.42%) and increased asking full service rental rates for a staggering fifteenth straight quarter. Just like the Arboretum/Domain micromarket, both of these measurements are all-time records. Additionally, the

$35.16/sf asking rental rate is the highest value of the three NW micro-markets.

The Far Northwest saw a large net absorption this quarter, yet still had vacancy rates increase to 16.70% from last

quarter’s 15.48%. Palo-ma Ridge A & B still sits vacant and the newly delivered Research Park Plaza V added 121,229 sf of vacant space to the micromarket. The 100% pre-leased Aspen Lake Two delivery helped miti-gate the vacancy rate increase, though. The asking full service rental rate did rise, though, to a record $32.77 for this micromarket. Prior to last quarter’s decline in asking rental rates, the Far Northwest micromarket had fourteen straight quarters of in-creasing rental rates.

4Q UPDATE

460,460 SFNet Absorption

9.80% Direct & Sublease Vacancy Rate

$35.85Avg. Class A Full Service Rental Rate

Across all classes of buildings, the Southwest (SW) submarket had a vacancy rate drop of 349 basis points from last quarter to 9.80%. Juxtaposing that large drop with the rise in competitive set vacancy rates (moving from 7.77% to 10.80%) can be somewhat confusing. This can be explained by the methodology CBRE employs when collecting vacancy data. They count leased space that has not been moved into as vacant, hence “available.” Since we use CBRE’s data for the overall market, this contradicts the dataset for the competitive set buildings (the list of newer suburban office buildings that typically have structured parking, amenities such as conference rooms, workout facilities and/or delis can be found on page 61).

SOUTHWESTSUBMARKET UPDATE

SOUTHWESTMICROMARKETS

Far Southwest

Near Southwest

In 2Q 2015, three buildings delivered, bringing a total of 680,968 sf to the SW submarket. As the tenants have been moving into these buildings, the CBRE availabilities are going down. In the competitive set, we had already counted those leases, so we had a drop in vacancy last quarter. This quarter, Encino Trace II has delivered with only 17.8% of the 158,137 sf leased, while

Bazaarvoice has moved out of 3900 San Clemente building to go into their new space in Quarry Oaks III in the NW submarket. These two events have brought 265,436 sf to the market and has pushed the competitive set vacancy rate upwards, to be more in line with the CBRE value for this quarter (9.80% vs 10.80%).

Page 37: AQUILA Austin Market Report Q4 2015

38

Last quarter, the asking full service rental rates for all Class A buildings in the SW submarket climbed to a record high $35.03/sf. This quarter pushed the record even higher to $35.85/sf. The competitive set moved even higher to $38.15/sf, escalating $0.54/sf over the course of the last quarter. This was the sixteenth consecutive quarter that the competitive set grew in asking rental rates.

With Encino Trace II delivering this quarter, no additional major projects are currently under construction in SW Austin. Last quarter, we predicted a bump up in the competitive set’s vacancy rate with Encino Trace II’s delivery and the Bazaarvoice departure, but also noted that we felt vacancy rates would start to drop again. We are not budging from that stance as the SW submarket remains a big draw for tenants due to its unique views, access and proximity to downtown, desirable neighborhoods and a rich talent pool.

The Near Southwest micromarket saw its overall vacancy rate climb again from 9.61% to 10.76%, after last quarter’s 235 basis point increase. Both The Park on Barton Creek 2 and Barton Skyway II had over 20,000 sf come available. The Near

Southwest micromarket has continued the trend of increasing asking rental rates every quarter for 19 consecutive quarters. The 4Q 2015 full service asking rate is another record for this micromarket, crossing over the $40/sf threshold for the first time at $40.59/sf.

After last quarter’s large drop in vacancy rates for the Far Southwest micromarket, this quarter swung the other way with an increase in 410 basis points in the total vacancy rate. The 10.81% vacancy rate is the highest this micromarket has seen since 2Q 2012. The two primary causes for this rapid increase are the Bazaarvoice departure from the submarket to the NW submarket and the delivery of the partially leased Encino Trace II. Otherwise, there has been normal movement of tenants within this micromarket that should not be cause for much alarm. Landlords continue to take advantage of the strong market by increasing the asking full service rental rates, as illustrated by the increase to $36.75/sf from last quarter’s $36.31/sf.
