Say you’re an investment manager starting a new fund and looking for office space. You’d think that the world is your oyster and you’d have landlords lining up with office space to lease. After all, you’ve been reading about the bloodbath in commercial real estate- landlords giving the keys back to lenders, massive vacancy rates, the impending credit crises for commercial loans. But this isn’t how things are playing out in the streets. Strangely, when you look at the availability for 2-3,000 RSF spaces in Class A and Trophy office assets in NYC you’ll find VERY few quality options. This is the reason why you’ll also find that rents haven’t dropped off a cliff.
