•
North Fulton saw more space given back than filled during the second quarter, resulting in negative absorption of (137,121) SF. This also brought the year-to-date absorption total into negative territory
•
For the most part, the submarket experienced a quiet quarter. Verizon’s move-out at One Deerfield Centre was the sole reason for the loss of occupancy this quarter.
•
Despite the negative quarter, leasing activity remained strong. A number of new deals and expansions have taken place in the submarket which will lead to occupancy gains later in the year.
•
North Fulton remains the most likely area to see the next new office building in Atlanta. JPMorgan Chase & Co. has plans for additional office buildings at Sanctuary Park and North American Properties is looking at an office component to its Avalon project. Preleasing will be key to any new construction.

to relocate, expand HQ in Atlanta: Ingenico will be relocating from an industrial business park in Forsyth County to a Class A office building in Alpharetta. The french company is known for manufacturing payment terminals but the relocation to Windward Plaza Business Park was needed to be in more of an office like setting and to be closer to key customer relationships. The company will be occupying 33,000 SF in the office building. The relocation is scheduled for third quarter 2012. commercial market looking up: The pickup in North Fulton’s office leasing over the first half of the year has provided a sense of optimism to the potential of new commercial development in the submarket. The increase in leasing activity can be attributed to pent-up demand and a return to confidence by businesses looking to expand or relocate their operations to North Fulton, especially technology and insurance companies. This has allowed for the marketing of a couple of new office projects, most notably in the Sanctuary Park development. JPMorgan Chase & Co. has plans drawn up for a new 160,000 SF office building known as Stonebridge IV, and also sites within the same park for two 10-story office buildings at 250,000 SF each, to be known as the “Towers at Sanctuary Park”. All three developments would require a significant portion to be preleased prior to going under construction.
gains tenants: The Avalon development continues to gain tenants. Following the signings of Whole Foods and Regal Cinemas, North American Properties has been able to secure more tenants to the project including Yard House, Arhaus home furnishings, Orvis, Athleta, Paper Source and Anthroplogie.
