he vibrancy of Manchester’s commercial real estate market – as well as its hightech sector – is facing its biggest test in more than 10 years. Oracle Corp., which three years ago bought Dyn Inc., one of the state’s most successful tech companies, plans to soon vacate about 100,000 square feet of office space in Manchester’s Millyard, as it lays off workers and effectively puts on the market one of the largest chunks of available space in the city since the 2008 recession. Most industry observers are cautiously optimistic that the Oracle-Dyn space at 150 Dow St., within the Millyard, should eventually be filled by other firms. The question is: How fast and by whom? The betting is that no single tenant is big enough to lay claim to the entire space, now being marketed by Colliers International, according to industry officials. More than likely, it will take a number of tenants to fill the 100,000 square feet. “They might have to carve it up a bit,” said Kyle York, the former general manager at Oracle-Dyn who left the company this past summer to form York IE, a strategic tech investment and consulting company in Manchester. York’s family owns commercial space throughout the city – and York said he knows of numerous firms in need of space.

“The ecosystem is strong in Manchester, so I’m confident they’ll fill it,” York said of 150 Dow St.
Office Market Softest in State Others agree, but the commercial numbers in Manchester indicate that it may not be as quick a turnaround for the property’s owner, businessman Bill Binnie, as many hope. The office occupancy rate in Manchester
stood at about 84 percent entering this past summer, according to a second quarter report by Colliers International. That’s below the occupancy rates Colliers found in Concord, Nashua, Portsmouth and Dover, indicating that Manchester’s market is softer, though not ominously so. The total available class A and class B space in Manchester was nearly 600,000 square feet
