• North Fulton ended the fi rst quarter with the third highest amount of space absorbed in Atlanta. The increase in occupied space can mostly be attributed to a handful of companies moving into full fl oors, and also minimal move-out activity by tenants in the submarket.
• With positive activity continuing in the submarket and demand remaining consistent, talk of new construction at Sanctuary Park has begun. Most likely the building, Stonebridge IV, would be constructed under a strong pre-leasing commitment.
• The average rental rate for offi ce space in North Fulton is much closer to trending upwards than other areas in the market. The submarket boasts the lowest offi ce vacancy rate of Atlanta’s major offi ce nodes.

IN THE NEWS
• Metro area may see fi rst offi ce building in years: Sanctuary Park could be the location for Atlanta’s fi rst new offi ce building in almost four years. JP Morgan Chase is currently marketing a 175,000 square foot building at the park with hopes of landing one of several companies looking at North Fulton for new offi ce space. Construction of the new building will be heavily dependant on a large anchor tenant signing for at least 50% of the space. The project would be known as Stonebridge IV.
• Alcon eyes $200M, 300-job expansion: Alcon is looking to possibly expand its Johns Creek campus operations. It was recently reported the eye-care products maker could invest up to $200 million at its 850,000 SF manufacturing campus in North Fulton, adding 300 jobs as a result. Though the facility is centered around manufacturing, the expansion would add to North Fulton’s identity as a health-care hub and could continue luring other related companies to the area.
• Avalon lands its fi rst tenant: The former luxury retail and mixed-used development known as Prospect Park has landed its fi rst tenant under its new owner. North American Properties recently signed Whole Foods Markets to a 45,000 SF space along Old Milton Parkway. The tenant was previously committed to the project envisioned by Stan Thomas. North American Properties purchased the 100-acre property for $22.8 million following a foreclosure by Wells Fargo. Now with scaled back plans, Avalon is starting to ramp up its pre-leasing eff orts and going after previously committed retailers. The new owner is pushing for a fi rst phase completion by October 2013, including the grocery store.
Accelerating success.
