**THE ARROWS ARE TREND INDICATORS FROM A QUARTER-OVER-QUARTER TIME PERIOD AND DO NOT REPRESENT A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE VALUE
CORE DOWNTOWN OFFICE PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS
After posting negative net absorption for the first time in over
three years last quarter, Q3 2014 saw the Sacramento office
market rebound nicely to close with 123,907 sq. ft. of positive
net absorption. The public sector was once again a key
contributor to the market’s positive figures, transacting two of
the quarter’s largest leases which combined for nearly 90,000
sq. ft. Suburban activity continued to dominate the market,
though Downtown appears to be regaining some traction
after a sluggish first half of the year.
South Natomas had the market’s strongest quarter, posting
84,477 sq. ft. of positive net absorption. This was the largest
amount of positive absorption occurring in the submarket
since Q1 2013, the bulk of which was contributed by a
67,500 sq. ft. lease at 2495 Natomas Park Drive. The
Highway 50 submarket also saw a sizable transaction with the
Blue Cross lease of 11030 White Rock Road. They are slated
to move into the 54,078 sq. ft. building, which they will be
occupying in its entirety, in Q2 2015.
Another noteworthy event occurring in Downtown was the
beginning of the demolition of Downtown Plaza. It is expected
to conclude in the first half of Q4 2014. This critical step in
the completion of the eagerly-anticipated Downtown arena is
welcome news as the arena is expected to be the cornerstone
of the projected-revitalization of Downtown. Activity in the
submarket has already begun to stabilize and interest is
increasing among many well-known retailers. With the arena
scheduled for completion in 2016, and the amenities such as
dining and entertainment that will follow as a direct result,
look for the Downtown market to steadily improve and
ultimately be competitive once again with suburban markets.
Class B properties constituted the bulk of leasing activity in
Q3 2014. This trend can be attributed in part to the lack of
quality, big-block Class A space currently available in the
market. The Class B vacancy rate dropped 0.5% from Q2
2014 to finish at 20.7%. This was the largest vacancy rate
decline among all property classes when compared to the
previous quarter. Class B average asking lease rates also rose
$0.02 from Q2 2014, closing at $1.64 per sq. ft. full service
gross (FSG).
Sacramento’s most prominent Q3 2014 sale was 555 Capitol
Mall in the Downtown submarket. The Class A building was
purchased by Trinity Pacific Partners which is comprised of
Buzz Oates LLC, AM Investors and Rubicon Partners. The
property was approximately 60% leased at the time of sale but
the new owners are planning improvements to the building in
hopes of attracting prospective tenants.
555 Capitol Mall was acquired by Trinity Pacific Partners. Daily
management operations will be handled by Rubicon Partners.

CBRE categorizes office properties using the following criteria:
CLASS A
Description: Most prestigious buildings competing for
premier office users with rents above average for the
area. Buildings have high quality standard finishes,
state of the art systems, exceptional accessibility and a
definite market presence.
CLASS B
Description: Buildings competing for a wide range
of users with rents in the average range for the area.
Building finishes are fair to good for the area and
systems are adequate, but the building does not
compete with Class A at the same price.
CLASS C
Description: Buildings competing for tenants requiring
functional space at rents below the average for
the area.
Operating Expenses
Expenses range from $9-$12/yr Downtown and
$6-$10/yr Suburban.
