LOWER MANHATTAN REAL ESTATE MARKET OVERVIEW

COMMERCIAL OFFICE MARKET Leasing Activity Rising private sector employment and large, pending commercial leases indicate a strong commercial market in Lower Manhattan in the months ahead, even as year-to-date leasing drops from record levels in 2013 and 2014. Despite this, the vacancy rate has remained steady year over year at 10.3%.

moving to Lower Manhattan: Gucci finalized a lease for 83,964 square feet at 195 Broadway. The luxury retailer will be moving from Midtown in the first quarter of 2016. Several other large deals were announced in the second quarter at the World Trade Center but are not yet finalized. In June, 21st Century Fox and News Corp. signed a letter of intent with Silverstein Properties to anchor 1.3 million square feet in the future 2 World Trade Center. As part of the deal, Bjarke Ingels has been hired to redesign the proposed 80-story, 2.8 million square foot office tower in order to best serve the needs of the media and television companies. This deal has the potential to be the largest transaction in Lower Manhattan in 2015, and the company’s relocation would further cement Lower Manhattan’s status as a media center in New York City. At One World Trade Center, Moody’s is expected to announce a lease for 80,000 square feet, an addition to its current 836,902 square-foot Lower Manhattan footprint in the 100% leased 7 World Trade Center. A Moody’s expansion deal would mean that One World Trade Center is 66% leased (it is currently 63% leased).

According to CBRE, Lower Manhattan’s second quarter leasing activity totaled 860,000 square feet, 38% below the five-year average. Year-to-date leasing is also lagging historical averages; at 2.01 million square feet, activity is 24% below the five-year average. However, leasing activity is expected to accelerate in the second half of the year and to bolster 2015 annual totals. Several large deals have already closed in July, and several more are still pending. In early July, Ironshore finalized its lease for 101,958 square feet in 28 Liberty Street, which was previously announced in April 2015. Ironshore will be relocating and expanding from 50,000 square feet in 1 State Street. July also brought news of a major fashion icon

Second Quarter Leasing Trends The second quarter’s top deals reflected the growing diversity of the Lower Manhattan office market, with activity in new growth industries — such as coworking providers — as well as the traditional FIRE sector. According to Jones Lang LaSalle, the FIRE sector and Professional/Business Services sector, which includes coworking, accounted for 27% and 42% of all new leasing activity, respectively. TAMI (growth industries including Technology, Advertising, Media and Information) uncharacteristically lagged this quarter, accounting for less than 2% of all new activity. With below-average leasing activity, the absence of TAMI this quarter was a drag on the market and demonstrated the importance of these sectors to Lower Manhattan’s commercial market. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney signed the largest deal in the second quarter, committing to an expansion space of 68,325 square feet in 1 New York Plaza where it already occupies more than 747,000 square feet. In addition, Dixon Advisory, a Jersey City-based REIT advisor, committed to opening its first New York City office in a 25,391 square-foot space in 140 Broadway. The coworking and flex office space industry continued to expand its stake in Lower Manhattan with two new leases signed this quarter by Cowork|rs. Cowork|rs committed to a total of 70,000 square feet at two Lower Manhattan locations this quarter, including 40,000 square feet at 60 Broad Street and 30,000 square feet at 55 Broadway. Currently, the company has one other Manhattan location in the Flatiron neighborhood and a future location in the Gowanus neighborhood in Brooklyn. These leases reflect the second consecutive quarter of top deals among the coworking industry – last quarter, WeWork committed to 240,000 square feet in 85 Broad Street.

SHARE OF LOWER MANHATTAN EMPLOYMENT GROWTH BY SECTOR, Q4 2013 - Q4 2014

In the fourth quarter of 2014, private sector payroll employment in Lower Manhattan reached its highest level since December 2001, with its fifth consecutive quarter of growth.1 The number of private sector employees is up by more than 2,200 since the third quarter of 2014 and more than 13,000 year-over-year.

Source: New York State Department of Labor

A collection of industries is driving this major gain, including Professional Services, Information, Education and Social Services and Hospitality and Retail. Nearly 50% of all jobs added during this period were in Education and Social Services, followed by 21% in Information and 13% in Professional Services. Several large corporate relocations over the past year, many of them in the TAMI sector, fueled rises in both Information and Professional Services employment in Lower Manhattan. In 2014, companies such as Condé Nast (which relocated to One World Trade Center) and HarperCollins Publishers (which moved into 195 Broadway) drove employment gains. Future moves from other large TAMI firms will extend this trend over the next several years; these include TIME Inc.’s planned relocation to a new headquarters in Brookfield Place and GroupM’s relocation in 3 World Trade Center, among many others.

RETAIL MARKET Development Brookfield Place’s extensive renovation of 375,000 square feet of retail and public space was officially unveiled on March 26. Among its roster of curated retail, restaurant and lifestyle options, Brookfield features luxury fashion labels, contemporary brands, chef-inspired restaurants and gourmet food markets. Many more restaurants and shops will open throughout the next year, including a 75,000-square-foot Saks Fifth Avenue. Opening in the next year, Westfield World Trade Center will become an iconic destination with 150 stores and restaurants in Santiago Calatrava’s Oculus and at the base of both the 3 and 4 World Trade Center buildings. The 365,000-square-foot complex previewed its retail and dining offerings, which include Hugo Boss, Michael Kors, Banana Republic and Desigual. Mario Batali’s Eataly will serve as the culinary anchor among many other food, beverage and dining options. In other Westfield news, the fit-out of Fulton Center’s 65,000 square feet of commercial and retail space is underway with a completion date in early 2016. Shake Shack announced plans last quarter to open a location on the second floor. The transportation hub opened in November 2014 and has improved connections between nine subway lines and five existing subway stations. More than 300,000 commuters, residents and tourists are expected to cross through the station each day. The Dey Street connector, which is the last piece of a continuous underground passageway between Fulton Center, the World Trade Center and Brookfield Place, is still in progress and expected by 2016.

Lower Manhattan emerges as a premier waterfront dining destination If you fancy dining on the water, Lower Manhattan is the place for you. The district boasts more than 10 waterfront eateries, all offering exquisite views along with their delicious cuisine. Pier A, which opened in late 2014, is a 28,000-square-foot bar, restaurant and event space in Battery Park overlooking the Hudson River. The first floor features a large bar and oyster bar and is surrounded by a promenade of outdoor tables. The second floor boasts a multi-room fine-dining experience with private cocktail bars. The third floor is dedicated to special events. The landmarked building is brimming with history. It was built in 1886 and has served as the headquarters of the New York Harbor Police and Department of Docks, as well as the main station for the Marine Division of the New York City Fire Department. Brookfield Place’s repositioning of its restaurant and retail space — with great views of the Hudson River and North Cove Marina— is a boon for Lower Manhattan’s flourishing restaurant scene. P.J. Clarke’s, a favorite watering hole, was joined by the popular Hudson Eats, a 600-seat gourmet food hall. Le District, the 30,000-square-foot French marketplace, recently unveiled the al fresco dining portion of its restaurants Beaubourg and L’Appart – providing over 7,000 square feet of outdoor dining. Later this year, L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon will provide world-class dining with spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty. The Howard Hughes Corporation’s revamping of Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport will provide 365,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment. The new space, with magnificent views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan, will feature a oneand-a-half-acre rooftop that will include a world-class restaurant, two outdoor bars and an amphitheater that can hold up to 4,000 people for concerts and special events. The project is expected to be completed in 2017.

TOURISM & HOSPITALITY Record Year for Tourism 2014 was a banner year for tourism in Lower Manhattan, as the district welcomed 12.4 million unique visitors — a 30% increase since 2013 and a 10% gain over 2012. The National September 11 Memorial Museum, which opened in May 2014, has already welcomed over 3 million visitors. Tourism is expected to continue growing throughout 2015, spurred in part by the recent opening of the 120,000-square-foot One World Observatory on May 29 (see callout).

Hotel Development Takes Off There are currently 5,100 hotel rooms in 22 hotels throughout Lower Manhattan — a 25% increase in hotel rooms since 2010.

This quarter, Tribeca Associates announced plans for a 26-story, 228-room hotel to be built at 143 Fulton Street. Cipriani-owned luxury boutique hotel Mr. C made plans to convert the 72-room Best Western Seaport at 33 Peck Slip.

RESIDENTIAL MARKET Inventory and Development Lower Manhattan boats nearly 31,000 residential units in 323 buildings with an estimated population of approximately 60,000 residents. The number of housing units continues to expand as construction moves ahead on over 3,500 residential units in 18 properties, while another 2,000 units in 13 properties are in the planning stages. Among the projects under construction and in development, 44% of the units will be rental and 41% will be condominiums. In 2015, 927 units will come onto the market, 865 of which are rental units at 70 Pine Street and 20 Exchange Place. At 70 Pine Street, plans include opening the rental gallery for the 644 rental units in October, in anticipation of a late 2015 debut. DTH Capital is wrapping up phase II of the conversion of 20 Exchange Place, adding 221 additional luxury rental units to the existing 556 rental units it completed in 2008. This quarter, plans were announced for: • Six buildings along West Broadway between Warren and Murray Streets, collectively known as 71 West Broadway.
