Average asking rental rates increased $0.04 from the fourth quarter rate to $1.61 per square foot/NNN.

    2. Silicon Valley R&D Market Report
      First Quarter 2013

      Strong deal volume in the first quarter of 2013 was not enough to outpace new space becoming available in the R&D market in Silicon Valley. Despite over two million square feet of gross absorption so far this year, vacancy rose as a result of 445,792 square feet of negative net absorption. With all of the year-end excitement in the investment sales market, we expected the beginning of 2013 to be slow as tenants and landlords get a feel for where the market will head throughout the year. Vacancy increased 0.33% to 14.28%, which will give active tenants more options when looking for new space. Rental rates increased gradually, averaging $1.37 per square foot across Silicon Valley.
