Billings is Montana’s largest city located in the heart of the<br />
Northern Rockies. Billings is an urban trade center with the<br />
most diverse economy in the state, highlighted by the<br />
healthcare industry and energy development. Retailers<br />
continue to see growth in the market. The industrial sector<br />
has seen positive absorption primarily due to the proximity<br />
to the Bakken oil field in eastern Montana and western North<br />
Dakota.<br />
The office market saw a 15% to 20% decrease in rental<br />
rates and demand. Vacancy rates stayed somewhat level.<br />
Smaller transactions dominated the activity. Vacancy rates<br />
dropped in the overall market from 12.51% to 9.92% in<br />
2011.<br />
The industrial market continued to see a decrease in the<br />
availability of space as energy firms and distributors slowly<br />
absorbed product. Wilson Supply was the largest lease at<br />
18,000 SF. The total available square footage decreased to<br />
approximately 549,000. This is the lowest level since 2003.<br />
No new spec projects were announced.<br />
The retail market started to gain momentum as retailers<br />
increased their expansion into the market. Carmike<br />
Cinemas, Cabela’s and Sam’s Club were the notable entries.<br />
The first “de-mall” in the state of Montana was commenced<br />
in 2009 at the former West Park Plaza in Central Billings.<br />
The project is anchored by Sears and Hastings. Vacancy<br />
rates in the retail sector were below 5% in the power center<br />
areas as Billings continued to service a regional retail trade<br />
area of over 300,000. This trade area is unique to the region<br />
as Billings is the largest city for 500 miles in any direction.<br />
Investments were slow in the market due to lack of product<br />
available for sale. Owners continued to keep product out of<br />
the market for fear that replacement properties could not<br />
be found. Multifamily product showed low vacancy rates in<br />
the market and new product continued to come on line in<br />
2011. Unemployment remained between 7% and 8% for<br />
the Yellowstone County.<br />

Bozeman is the primary urban center in southwestern<br />
Montana and is the seat of Gallatin County with a population<br />
of 90,000. Located just 90 miles north of Yellowstone<br />
National Park and only 45 miles north of the Big Sky resort<br />
community, Bozeman represents an attractive primary and<br />
secondary home market. Gallatin County continues to be<br />
the fastest growing county in the state.<br />
Anchored by an economy rich in agriculture, the greater<br />
Bozeman market has emerged as a trade region built on the<br />
business spin-offs of research successes of Montana State<br />
University, making Bozeman one of the leading smaller<br />
urban centers in the nation. Bozeman’s economy continues<br />
to be a primary performer in the state with 2.1% annual<br />
growth. Major employers are Montana State University,<br />
RightNow Technologies and Ligocyte Pharmaceuticals.<br />
While the southwest Montana economy is somewhat<br />
cushioned from the volatility experienced nationally, there<br />
has been a softening in demand for office and retail product<br />
that will likely slow the absorption of a small oversupply.<br />
Vacancy is estimated at 8% in the office segment and 7%<br />
in the retail markets. <strong>Market</strong> rents have firmed from the<br />
2009 highs, in the range of $14 to $16/SF per year for Class<br />
A space, but softened to $7 to $10/SF per year for Class B<br />
space. Recent retail tenants to ink deals are REI for 30,000<br />
SF, Kohl’s, Ulta Cosmetics and Shoe Carnival.<br />
In the industrial sector, warehouse demand has weakened<br />
slightly with the decline in new housing starts. Demand is<br />
limited for high-tech flex and R&D space. In 2011, the local<br />
commercial markets can anticipate a more aggressive entry<br />
of bank-owned property with the potential for a further<br />
softening of property values through the bank sell-off period.<br />
The historic downtown Bozeman retail and office markets<br />
remain one of the state’s finest. New private investment<br />
downtown has been stimulated by a $12 million, 435-car<br />
parking garage. A natural gas explosion in March of 2009<br />
destroyed a quarter of a city block that is now in redevelopment.<br />
