Higher quality offices command larger leases in Minneapolis – St. Paul

In this data bite, we analyzed the changes in the average lease size each year since 2019 in office leases within high-quality assets (Trophy/Class A), as well as lower-quality buildings (Class B/C). Average lease sizes within high-quality properties have trended down in size significantly over the past 5 years, averaging 7,919 sf in 2019 and declining over 32% to av average lease size of 5,354 sf. Alternatively, despite average lease sizes in lower-quality buildings declining by 21% since 2019, this represents a reduction of just 797 square feet. Average lease sizes in Class B/C properties have remained much more consistent in size over the past 5 years compared to the average lease sizes observed in high-quality properties.

Flight to “Experience” a prevalent theme in MSP office activity

In this data bite, we took a look at the evolving “flight to experience” by analyzing Trophy & Class A and Class B & C visitation recovery via the AY Office Busyness Index, and office quarterly leasing % share by class. This analysis reinforces the evolution from the flight to quality to the flight to experience by showing that while high-quality assets are still seeing elevated leasing activity compared to the rest of the market, they are also experiencing higher foot traffic and employee visitation.

Breaking down MSP’s desirable office space

In this data bite, we took a closer look at MSP’s available office space. We categorized available space as desirable & undesirable, with undesirable space defined as all Class C and B- buildings and Class B buildings with 50% availability and no leasing activity since 2019. When undesirable space and potentially troubled assets are removed from consideration, the MSP Office Market’s overall availability rate drops from 22.2% to 17.7%, revealing tighter market conditions than previously thought. Drilling down even further, just 10% (91 buildings) of the buildings comprising desirable available office space accounts for 72% of the desirable square footage, limiting building location options even further for tenants seeking space.

MSP Office market performance shows flawed space utilization

In this data bite, we utilized Placer.ai data via the new AY Office Busyness Index to analyze MSP’s office visitation recovery since Q3 2019 by asset class. We cross-referenced the office visitation data with the market’s total availability rates by class and analyzed the relationship between the two datasets, as decreasing availability is expected to correlate with increasing office utilization. Despite this expected relationship, MSP’s office market has exhibited signs of flawed space utilization, with decreasing availability corresponding with declining office space utilization – a sign of potentially inefficient floor plans, underutilized spaces, and other flawed space utilization strategies.
