• Buckhead ended the fi rst quarter of 2012 with just over 104,000 SF absorbed. Move-in activity was somewhat quiet with Kids II accounting for almost all of the space fi lled in the quarter at 102,818 SF.
• The offi ce vacancy rate in Buckhead has seen the largest drop of any other submarkets compared to this time last year. Over this period, Buckhead’s vacancy rate dropped 3.3%.
• Buckhead’s offi ce leasing activity remained steady in fi rst quarter; however, the submarket saw less activity than other areas such as Central Perimeter, North Fulton and Northwest Atlanta. This could be due to the number of more aff ordable space options available in these other areas.
• Buckhead is the most prominent submarket where previously signed transactions, some dating over a year ago, are now taking occupancy. Kids II was an example of this. The submarket’s absorption levels will be boosted by this move-in activity over the next six months.

IN THE NEWS
• Long-awaited Buckhead interchange revamp starts: The interchange of Georgia 400 and I-85 is being reconstructed to allow southbound motorists to access each thoroughfare directly without using arterial roads. For over 20 years, southbound motorists have had to exit GA 400 and/or I-85, then access arterial roads such as Sidney Marcus Blvd., Buford Hwy. and Lenox Rd. to gain access to I-85 and GA 400 northbound, respectively. The new interchange will relieve congestion on the arterial roads and keep traffi c moving more freely. The GDOT hopes to have the project completed be the end of 2013.
• Buckhead Atlanta expected to boost area retail: The new Buckhead Atlanta development is scheduled to begin reconstruction in the next couple of months. Once underway, the area south of Piedmont Road will begin carving out the landscape for a new retail destination in Buckhead. Despite the increased competition for customers, other retail landlords in the area believe the new project will have a positive aff ect on their existing properties, and solidify Buckhead as Atlanta’s premier retail destination. Once completed, Buckhead Atlanta will be the start of a retail corridor along Peachtree Road, extending all the way to Phipps Plaza and Selig Properties’ Buckhead Triangle.
• Lenders take back two Buckhead offi ce buildings: Following failed negotiations to restructure debt, two offi ce buildings with diff erent owners were recently foreclosed upon. Securities Centre, which was purchased back in 2006 was foreclosed in November 2011 by Bank of America; and Resurgens Plaza, also purchased in 2006, went back to its lender CWCapital in December 2011.
Accelerating success.
