Office Market Experiences Third Quarter Slowdown

The 3rd Quarter Office Sales could be reflecting the slowdown in sales that have been anticipated by some market watchers. The quarter saw zero sales of buildings in excess of 25,000 square feet and 20 sales of buildings in the 3,000 to 25,000 square feet including four medical office buildings. This marks a significant retreat from the activity seen in the first two quarters of 2017.

In February 1987 I received a phone call from Ford Price, President of the Sweetser Companies, a well-known and respected third-party commercial real estate company specializing in office properties. Tom Denner, the Godfather of commercial leasing in Oklahoma City, gave my name to Ford and thought I might be a good fit for an office leasing agent alongside Craig Tucker.

Whether you consider the handful of now vacant JC Penney stores, the closed two-story Macy building at Quail Springs Mall, the variety of defunct grocery stores in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, or the smattering of dark Dollar General buildings in small cities of eastern Oklahoma, each of these becomes an opportunity for a change not just for the building but for the neighboring businesses and communities.

OKC Retail Market Forecasts Continued Growth

Industrial real estate differs from some other types of commercial real estate in that there is no one generic type of building. Different types of space have widely divergent costs of construction and therefore different lease rates and sale values. For this reason, published “average industrial lease rates” (which include different types of industrial space) are usually meaningless. In this article, I want to introduce the most common types of industrial space found in Oklahoma City.
