Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 09/10/2018 - 07:09

In 2017, Boise’s migration rate was twice that of Seattle’s and three times greater than Denver’s.  There is no doubt that Boise is attracting talent, business expansion, and economic investment.  While Boise’s growth can create challenges, we are encouraged by the results of a recent City of Boise citizen survey which found that 62% of residents thought that Boise’s growth was positive for the community and 92% believed that Boise’s overall quality of life exceeded or greatly exceeded their expectations.  Our thriving community is well aware that we will have to thoughtfully and strategica

Office Construction Has Outpaced 2017

The Boise Metro’s office construction total for 2018 has surpassed the total amount of office construction for 2017, and it’s only August. 

This year the Boise MSA has already seen 356,000 sq. ft. of office space constructed, compared with 242,000 sq. ft. in all of 2017. It is projected that 450,000 sq. ft. will be constructed in the office market by the end of 2018.  This growth in construction is certainly one factor in the lower vacancy rates, as well as the increases in total absorption and the average overall asking rate.  

Boise Valley Industrial Market Vacancy at All-Time Lows

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 08/28/2018 - 01:08

The Boise Valley's Industrial market is very competitive.  In fact, not a single Boise Valley submarket posted an increase in Industrial vacancy for the month of July.

Incredibly, of the 15 Boise submarkets that our team tracks, 11 of them actually saw a further decline in Industrial vacancy (from the previous month) and 4 of those submarkets set all-time lows for the vacancy rates recorded. 

Plenty of factors are contributing to these market conditions and we believe that the market will continue to be tight, since projected supply has dropped below the 6 month mark.
