GRAHAM REPORT 2020 HUNSTVILLE, ALABAMA
The Huntsville commercial real estate market experienced another stellar year in 2019 with all sectors showing lower vacancies. Activity has been especially strong in the Central Business District (CBD), where four new hotels are under construction, as well as Cummings Research Park (CRP) and the Greenbrier area. The office market continued to improve with 10.40% vacancy and positive absorption of 81,000 sf. CRP was once again the most active market with several large projects including BAE, Blue Origin, and Radiance Technologies nearing completion. Additionally, Redstone Gateway is adding several new office buildings to its campus. Demand for industrial space remained strong as reflected in the 5.84% vacancy rate. Several large blocks of space were leased in 2019 and the outlook continues to be healthy. The industrial market has experienced a shortage of new construction, but that should be changing in the next two to three years as several developments have been announced in the Jetplex and Greenbrier markets. Land prices continue to escalate in the CBD with recent comps trending to more than $50 psf for prime locations. Retail development remains active, especially in mixed-use properties like Mid-City and Stovehouse. Multi-family development is still active with several projects under construction.

Graham & Co | 2020 GRAHAM REPORT | HUNTSVILLE, AL
HUNTSVILLE INDUSTRIAL OVERVIEW Vacancy for Huntsville’s industrial market decreased to 5.84% in 2019, down from 7.64% the previous year. The rate represents the lowest vacancy experienced since 2008. Huntsville’s market was still slightly above the national vacancy rate of 4.43%. Rental rates increased by 5.1% nationwide. Rates are also expected to increase in the Huntsville market as supply remains low. Huntsville’s industrial market had positive absorption of 1.6 million sf in 2019, marking the largest positive absorption in more than a decade, and bringing the total absorbed since 2012 to more than 3.5 million sf. Nationally, new construction was down slightly in 2019 with 224 million sf built. Several smaller industrial buildings were constructed, but a large, spec, class-A, industrial facility has not been built in the Huntsville market in many years. Land prices for industrial projects have increased, especially in the Greenbrier and Spacegate areas. Land that was previously selling for $40k per acre or less is now selling for more than $50k per acre. The investment market for industrial product was still among the top performing sectors with an average cap rate below 6.50%. Some
recent industrial sales in the Huntsville market yielded cap rates in the low to mid 8% range. Huntsville has a much lower average lease term than most other markets. The outlook remains bullish for the industrial sector as finance rates remain low and demand for e-commerce products remains high.

Graham & Co | 2020 GRAHAM REPORT | HUNTSVILLE, AL
HUNTSVILLE OFFICE OVERVIEW The Huntsville office market continued to improve in 2019 with a vacancy rate of 10.40%. Vacancy has decreased for four straight years from the 19.31% registered in 2015. The office market had positive absorption of 81,000 sf in 2019. Although this is a much flatter number than the previous two years, the overall market remained active and healthy. The outlook for Huntsville’s job market remains bullish, and the tech sector should continue to lead the charge. Vacancies were down in the Central Business District (CBD) and Jetplex/ Madison submarkets. The overall rate in Cummings Research Park was up slightly to 8.14% compared to the previous year’s 7.86%. Multi-tenant vacancy in CRP dropped to 10.61%, a dramatic improvement from the 2016 rate of 25.40%. Most vacancies were located in older, class-C buildings that might be candidates for redevelopment. New construction in Huntsville has been active in all sectors, but most office projects were build-to-suit. No new speculative office buildings have been built in many years; however, some multiuse projects and redevelopment projects offered a small amount of spec office space. The national trend for collaborative space is being seen in Huntsville now and several of the planned live/work/play projects, like Mid-City, will be offering
an office component. Several new office construction projects are under way in the CRP market as part of consolidation efforts for several companies. Rental rates have increased in the Huntsville market for class-A and B space. Class-A space now leases in the low to mid $20’s psf (full service) while class-B space is in the $18.50 to low $20 psf range. Annual rent increases averaged 2% to 3%. Free rent is not being offered as much as in the past.

Established in 1962, Cummings Research Park (CRP) is one of the largest and most-respected research parks in the world. Since its inception CRP has grown to become the second-largest science and technology park in the U.S. and fourth-largest in the world.
CRP West Interior Lots
(Lots that do not front Park boulevards, and must be accessed via non-boulevard roads)
CRP, as shown here, encompasses 3,843 acres and includes nearly 12 million square feet of administration, laboratory, research and development, classroom and manufacturing space.
Boulevard Non-Access Lots
Approx. 310 acres of land are available for development in CRP West. In order to stimulate economic development and investment, the price of land per acre in CRP is significantly lower than adjacent property, providing an attractive incentive for new and expanding companies.
Boulevard Access Lots
Land parcels in CRP West range from four acres (minimum) to 18 acres, but may also be reconfigured to meet company requirements. For each parcel, the City of Huntsville will complete basic site preparation including road access, curbing, drainage, telecommunications, and utilities to the site.

[ 13.22 MILLION SF TOTAL ] OVERALL VACANCY 8.14% SINGLE TENANT 6.52% MULTI-TENANT 10.61%
The Cummings Research Park (CRP) market remained steady as overall vacancy increased slightly to 8.14% and multi-tenant vacancy fell to 10.61%. CRP is the largest office market in Huntsville with more than 12 million sf, exceeding 70% of the total Huntsville office market. It is the second largest research park in the United States. Many companies in CRP are defenserelated and depend on the government for the funding of military projects. Money allocated for defense programs has improved, and many of the companies in CRP have expanded their footprints in the last three years. Most companies in CRP act in a support role to meet various demands for military installations located on Redstone Arsenal. Redstone is home to the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), the Space and Missile Defense Command, numerous Program Executive Offices (PEO), and major components of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Missile Defense Agency.
Recent developments in the Jetplex/Madison Office Market: • The Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering announced plans to locate a magnet high school in CRP East. The school will set up a temporary location beginning in August 2020 and will then relocate to its new building at the intersection of Bradford and Wynn Drive by 2022. • The recently completed Radiance Technologies facility at 310 Bob Heath Drive was sold to an out-of-state investor for a cap rate just under 7%. The building was built by Triad Properties and is 103,721 sf. • Yulista Holdings announced plans to consolidate its operations into four buildings at Redstone Gateway. The company will lease 300,000 sf of office and R&D space in the development. • The 350,000 sf Blue Origin facility is now complete, and the next generation BE-4 engine should be in production by midyear.

Graham & Company has a market-leading office platform with bolstered development capabilities. Graham’s clientcentric philosophy and growth-oriented approach as well as a shared culture of teamwork, integrity, and service position it to offer “best-in-class” real estate services.

DEVELOPMENT/CONSULTING Graham & Company’s development group assembles and works closely with teams of architects, engineers, and contractors to create both build-to suit as well as speculative developments. Graham’s development group also procures financing, negotiates leases, and establishes property management systems for its development projects. Graham has been involved in the development of industrial properties, office buildings, office/service centers, and office building rehabilitation projects throughout the Southeast.
BROKERAGE Graham & Company’s brokerage division provides sales and leasing services in four key sectors of commercial real estate: office, industrial, land, and investment. Graham agents consistently rank among the best in their prospective markets. However, it’s not the numbers that reflect the Graham way, it’s the ability to examine each deal through the eyes and sensibilities of its clients that separates Graham from the other industry leaders.
INVESTMENT SALES In addition to brokerage and development, Graham & Company offers investment sales services. Our in-house team has the experience and capability to produce quality offering memorandums, actively market assets for sale, source potential investors, and successfully navigate the closing process.
