The Charlotte area continues to attract newcomers to the<br />
market every year. One of the driving factors is the airport,<br />
which accommodates 700 flights daily. Other factors include<br />
the proximity to the mountains and beaches, as well as the<br />
accessibility to major cities along the East Coast. Nine<br />
Fortune 500 companies call the region home. Many<br />
businesses are relocating or expanding in the area including<br />
Time Warner, Celgard and Fifth Third Bank.<br />
The overall vacancy in the office market increased from<br />
17.1% to 17.9% over the past year. In Ballantyne Corporate<br />
Park, the Bissell Companies continue to defy odds and are<br />
under construction with three speculative buildings totaling<br />
790,000 SF. The three premier submarkets in Charlotte;<br />
Downtown, Southpark and Ballantyne, continue to attract the<br />
majority of newer, high-end tenants.<br />
The industrial market has puttered along in recent years.<br />
Thankfully, supply has been extremely limited resulting in the<br />
vacancy rate hovering around 14% for the last 10 quarters.<br />
Most of the moves have been within the market versus<br />
companies moving to the region. Several build-to-suit<br />
prospects are considering sites in the region. However, there<br />
is not enough demand, nor is the financing attractive enough<br />
to get developers to consider building speculative buildings.<br />
After rising for three years, retail vacancies finally improved<br />
a modest 0.3%. Some of the larger shopping centers traded<br />
hands and the new owners were able to entice tenants by<br />
lowering lease rates. Generous concessions have been<br />
offered throughout the area. The market is waiting to see<br />
whether or not Childress Klein and General Growth Properties<br />
are able to pull off the development of the 1,300,000 SF<br />
Bridges of Mint Hill.<br />
The investment business continued to improve from an<br />
anemic 2008 and 2009. High profile properties in each asset<br />
class traded hands, with multifamily leading the way. Investor<br />
demand pushed multifamily cap rates to the 5.5% to 6.0%<br />
range. Class A office, industrial and retail properties traded<br />
between 7% and 8%.<br />

The Piedmont Triad market is slowly emerging from the<br />
economic downturn. The biggest news in the region is the<br />
announcement of a $426 million Caterpillar manufacturing<br />
facility in eastern Forsyth County, employing 510 people in<br />
an 850,000 SF facility in <strong>2012</strong>. In addition, TIMCO Aerosystems<br />
opened an aircraft seat manufacturing plant employing 500<br />
in northern Davidson County in November, 2011.<br />
The Piedmont Triad industrial market saw an improvement<br />
in 2011, however industrial vacancies remain high with<br />
distribution center space over 200,000 SF exceeding<br />
6,000,000 SF. Flex space is also very soft with vacancies<br />
exceeding 20% and rental rates falling. Increased demand<br />
for warehouse space between 20,000 and 40,000 SF is the<br />
lone bright spot in the $3.00 to $3.50 range.<br />
The retail sector has shown marginal improvement in 2011.<br />
Rents continue to decline, but there are active prospects<br />
looking in the market. Restaurant and convenience store<br />
activity has been brisk. Big box and grocery anchored shopping<br />
center developments are non-existent.<br />
The office market followed other market segments, with no<br />
net absorption in 2011. Activity is emerging, with 30,000<br />
to100,000 SF deals touring the market with <strong>2012</strong> space<br />
requirements. Vacancy is over 20% in all suburban markets.<br />
Downtown areas have vacancy rates approaching 7% for<br />
Class A space, but rental rates and lending requirements<br />
make new construction difficult.<br />
Infrastructure improvements bode well for the future of<br />
the region. Expansion of a third runway and major road<br />
improvements have resulted in a $300 million FedEx<br />
Mid-Atlantic hub opening at the airport and a 400,000 SF<br />
FedEx Ground sorting facility in Kernersville. Honda Jet has<br />
opened a headquarters and R&D facility at the Airport.<br />
Honda recently announced 417 new jobs in an $80 million<br />
maintenance facility to be located adjacent to its headquarters.<br />
Public sector investment is strong, with UNC-G and NC<br />
A&T universities completing a $60 million center for<br />
Nanotechnology in east Greensboro. Growth continues in<br />
Winston-Salem, with significant expansions at Wake Forest<br />
Baptist and the center for regenerative medicine.<br />
