focused on transit-oriented assets. Development of new office product is filling the current void for opportunity-starved investors, but quality sites and large-lead tenants remain scarce.

CURRENT TENANT DEMAND

The financial services sector is leading the pack with regards to demand for office space this quarter. Banks, investment companies and credit rating service providers are the leading tenants looking for large pockets of space, mainly in the Downtown market. The strength in the GTA housing market, and the upward momentum in prices, has provided a boost to consumer-oriented industries as well as the financial services sector. The second largest industry demanding space is the tech sector. The tech industry is continuing to gain momentum within the Toronto market as international companies are beginning to view Canada as a viable expansion opportunity.

Net Absorption New Supply Vacancy Rate

MARKET OVERVIEW

Toronto’s central markets are continuing to exhibit strong tenant demand, specifically, the Downtown market where vacancy is still on the decline, we are reporting 3.5% this quarter. Deal activity is up and deals are being done in large pockets of upcoming vacant space as well as in upcoming new builds. In the Suburban markets, we are seeing a very different trend with vacancy is rising in every major market since the last quarter. The high vacancy rates in some suburban areas connect to the pattern of employers seeking central locations where their talent pool is choosing to walk or commute to work. In addition, traffic congestion and long commute times in parts of the GTA, have been another significant driver to workforces taking up residence in centrally-located hubs in and around the city. Companies are beginning to address the link between heathy bottom lines and ease of accessibility for their employees.

INVESTMENT MARKET

The trend of limited available large-scale office product continues throughout the Toronto market. Only a handful of larger deals have made it to market this year, with 180 Wellington Street West being the notable deal for Q3. A stable REIT market has caused constraints on the supply of purchasing opportunities which has buoyed aggressive pricing within the GTA. Assets located in the Downtown core are seeing aggressive lifts in terms of valuations, while potential vendors of non-core assets continue to look for similar figures to Q2. This has only added to lack of deals being completed and additional pushback from buyers for non-core / suburban product. Investors are not willing to apply value to vacant assets in the suburban markets and continue to stay

Net Absorption New Supply Vacancy Rate %

The Downtown market is continuing to see a decline in vacancy this quarter. Leasing activity has been strong and leases are being done in large blocks of space in existing office inventory in addition to properties that are still under construction. The Financial Core continues to command high rental rates and Class A and AAA Tenants. However, although new supply is delivered to the Downtown South market in the coming months, vacancy is expected to rise in Financial Core as big block tenants, such as Marsh Mercer, take space southward. With roughly 5.19 million square feet of office development currently under construction in the Downtown market, we will see landlords of older assets begin to upgrade their properties, seek sustainability through LEED or BOMA certifications and compete for deals on price.

» RBC WaterPark Place and Bremner Tower are set to be completed in Q4 2014 and will deliver more than 1.6 million square feet of office inventory to the Downtown South market. Both new towers are approximately 80 percent preleased.

» New builds are experiencing interest from tenants who are located in B class assets in addition to tenants from suburban markets.

» There has been growth in small to mid-sized tenants who are increasing their space requirements.

» Downtown West fringe office assets are experiencing significant increases in taxes and operating costs beyond inflation. This rise in additional cost could have a substantial impact on net rents for properties in this market.

TRENDS

Notable Sale

The Midtown market is seeing an increase in availability since last quarter, which has been impacted by the Manulife space at 250 Bloor Street East coming onto the market. There are currently two large space opportunities of more than 30,000 square feet in the Yonge and Bloor submarket. Although there is healthy leasing activity in small- to mid-sized space opportunities, big block leasing velocity is down in the Midtown market. Large tenants are choosing to take space southward, such as LinkedIn vacating its space at Yonge and Eglinton this quarter to relocate to a new office Downtown.

» There are currently 26 active condominium development projects underway in the Yonge-Bloor submarket. Eight of these developments are currently under construction.

» Yonge-Eglinton has seen a slowdown in transaction volume this quarter. Tenants looking to relocate to Yonge-Eglinton have been deterred by the construction of the Crosstown light rail which has caused traffic congestion in the area.

Net Absorption New Supply Vacancy Rate %

Although vacancy rates continue to remain low in the Central North market, this market has seen a dramatic slowdown in transaction volume especially in the North Yonge Corridor. Availability in the sublet market remains high with 32.2 percent of available space being sublet. Landlords competing in the sublease market are being directly affected by the slowdown in the market. For tenants looking to relocate to the Central North market, this is an ideal time to secure an aggressively priced deal on a sublease space.

» The types of deals taking place this quarter have most commonly been short-term renewals as tenants are choosing to wait for the market to change and bring new space and price opportunities.

Leasing activity within the Central East market remains steady, with reported vacancies shifting downward since Q2 2014. Notably, Woodbine-Steeles and Consumers Road submarkets have seen heightened leasing activity and positive absorption this quarter. Deals are taking place in small to mid-sized space opportunities.

» The Toronto East market remains tight and has seen minimal leasing activity with no reported absorption since Q2 2014. However, with a reduction in the amount of available B and C class space this quarter, we expect to see vacancies get filled in the coming months.

Net Absorption New Supply Vacancy Rate %

There has been a slowing in leasing activity in the GTA East market. The Pickering and Oshawa submarket reported an 8.6 percent vacancy in Q2 2014. Since then, we have seen a significant jump in vacancy up to 11.4 percent this quarter. The two properties: 1600 Champlain Avenue and 2 Simcoe Street South directly affected the increase in vacancy within the Pickering and Oshawa submarket as both properties had large vacancies this quarter.

» NERs remain stagnant within this market due to a slowing of leasing activity.

The GTA West market saw a rise in vacancy since last quarter. The Airport West submarket was the largest contributor to the rise in vacant space where Blackberry vacated approximately 238,800 square feet of space at 4701 and 4715 Tahoe Boulevard causing significant negative absorption this quarter. Although the velocity of deals taking place has slowed since last year, there is still a concentration of markets that are seeing momentum in lease deals and continued growth through developer interest. These markets are Meadowvale, Sheridan-Winston and Oakville. Notably, all three of these markets are directly intersecting with at least two major highways.

» Developer interest remains strong in the GTA West where there are numerous office developments totaling an estimated 1,175,520 square feet of new inventory to be delivered to the market in the coming years.

» There are several large RFPs in the market between 50,000 and 150,000 square feet.

Weighted Average Asking Net Rent: The dollar amount requested by landlords for direct available space, not including subleases, expressed in dollars per square foot per year.

Availability: The amount of available space and available space to be delivered to the market within six months, divided by the market’s inventory base including those future deliveries. Available space is space that is available for lease, and may or may not be vacant.

Net Absorption: The net change in physically occupied space between the current measurement period, and the last measurement period. It can be either positive or negative.

Vacancy: The amount of vacant space divided by the building inventory base. Vacant space is physically unoccupied, and it may or may not be available for lease or sublease. This is physical vacancy. It is not determined whether a tenant is paying rent on the space.
