•
Following five consecutive quarters of negative absorption, Central Perimeter saw its office occupancy increase in the fourth quarter; though only by a moderate amount.
•
Central Perimeter was affected most by the flight to quality trend by tenants. Class B office product in the submarket finished the year with negative absorption totaling (216,728) SF. The phased out occupancies of AutoTrader at Peachtree Dunwoody Pavilion and Cotton States’s relocation to Class A property in North Fulton were the largest tenants of Class B properties vacating in 2011.
•
Despite the rough year, Central Perimeter’s activity is expected to show improvement going forward. Leasing picked up in the second half of 2011 and this will translate into positive absorption in 2012. In addition, a number of large prospects are currently scouting the submarket for office requirements.
