Jan. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Silicon Valley’s commercial real estate sector maintained steady absorption activity in the fourth quarter with over 5.0 million square feet of office, R&D, industrial and warehouse transactions measured during the period. Although it was 2012’s lowest quarterly gross absorption, all four quarters consistently produced over 5.0 million square feet of new leases and user sales, totaling 22.2 million square feet for the year. Office and R&D buildings represented the lion’s share of the activity with over 16.3 million square feet of activity for 2012.  

Overall for the year, the change in total occupied space (net absorption) increased 2.4 million square feet. In addition, approximately 3.0 million square feet of deals have been completed at projects that are under construction or waiting to be built.

Jeff Fredericks, SIOR, managing partner of Colliers’ Silicon Valley office, commented, “Our region remains one of the country’s bright spots and it was a good year for the commercial real estate market overall.”
