Raleigh-DurhamOffice Insight

In a year dominated by the rise of coworking across the country, Raleigh-Durham was no exception. Spaces launched their first office in DowntownRaleigh at The Dillon, and WeWork opened their doors at One City Center inDowntown Durham. And the growth continues. Of the 550,000 square feet ofpreleasing deals signed in 2018, coworking was the number one industry,accounting for 33.2 percent of preleasing activity. While the largest leaseswere in urban properties, Spaces’ commitments to Crabtree Terrace inGlenwood / Creedmoor and The Station at East 54 in Orange County showinterest in the suburbs. Capital Bank and IAT Insurance Group pushed financeand insurance into second place, accounting for 20.3 percent of preleasingactivity. Technology came in third, totaling 16.2 percent. Together, these threeindustries account for nearly 70.0 percent of preleasing activity.

Commercial sales activity in the market struck a high-note this year, reachinga total of $1.9 billion. The average price per square foot was $224.67 at theend of 2018, exceeding 2015’s high of $195.58 p.s.f. Thanks to theseextraordinary prices, asking rents are increasing in recently sold properties.The Venture buildings on Centennial Campus are among those seeingincreases, with rents jumping 16.8 percent in year-over-year comparisons.
