• After two consecutive quarters of positive absorption, Northeast Atlanta saw a net loss of tenants in the fi rst quarter. Occupancy dropped by just over 87,000 square feet this period. As a result, vacancy increased to 19.8%.
• Offi ce leasing demand has yet to take hold in Northeast Atlanta; unlike neighboring submarkets such as North Fulton and Central Perimeter. The lack of activity is a product of the modest recovery. Atlanta’s more desirable submarkets are seeing the bulk of the leasing activity currently.
• Through the end of the year, the same results are expected to continue in Northeast Atlanta. Offi ce absorption, whether it be positive or negative, will be restrained. The submarket’s offi ce vacancy will hover around the 20% mark until a full recovery takes hold.
