KEY TERMS & DEFINITIONS
The long awaited market rebound has finally come to fruition. It has been a slow
moving train but vacancy rates all across the Tri-Valley have stabilized at five-year
lows. In addition to vacancy rates dropping dramatically, there has been a boom in
new construction. Unfortunately, the additional inventory and quick absorption of
this new space does not translate into the numbers. When analyzing the numbers,
they are actually better than extremely positive results illustrated. Large deals such
as Hobby Lobby and the copious amount of shop space being absorbed at Fallon
Gateway are just a few examples of emerging new businesses helping to elevate 2014
into an exceptional year in retail leasing.
The story of 2014, and a trend that will continue in 2015, is residential development.
Land and redevelopment acquisitions for residential purposes dominated the market.
From Taylor Morrison’s 210 detached and attached housing projects in downtown
Livermore to Trumark Homes, 184-acre, 805 single family homes in Dublin; residential
deals are larger and more aggressive than we have seen in years.
-Jessica Mauser, Associate & Retail Specialist
Editor’s note in regards to Downtown Danville vacancy: The jump of about four
percent may seem alarming, but the numbers are skewed due to Danville Hotel
redevelopment.
