U.S. Commercial Real Estate Recovery Strengthens in Q3 2014

Los Angeles, CA --  The U.S. commercial real estate market strengthened strongly across all property types in the third quarter of 2014 (Q3 2014), with the office sector delivering its best performance in eight years, according to the latest analysis from CBRE Group, Inc.

The office vacancy rate declined by 40 basis points (bps) from the previous quarter to reach 14.1% in Q3 2014 – the sharpest drop since Q2 2006.

In Q3 2014, national industrial availability declined 20 bps from the previous quarter to 10.6%.

Retail availability fell to 11.5%, a 20 bps decrease for the quarter.

“The real estate recovery clearly gained in strength in the third quarter as all property types saw notably improved demand trends,” said Jon Southard, Managing Director of CBRE’s Econometric Advisors group.

 “Especially important, office tenants showed greater confidence in expanding their footprint and finally appear to be shaking off the lingering effects of the recession.”
