crease in vacancy rates has resulted in a slight increase in rental rates, as well as an increase in the probability of leasing. That said, the vacancy rates for office space in Delaware’s most populated County, New Castle County, is above the average for the State and landlords are currently seek- ing to fill nearly 1,000 spaces totaling approximately 4.25m s/f of space. While vacancy rates for class A office space in the north- ern and western New Castle County office market remain in the single digits, nearly half of all of the County’s vacancy is located in theWilmington Cen- tral Business District (CBD). This bodes well for tenants currently in the CBD market place, with many landlords offering attractive incentives (i.e. improvement allowances, rent abatement, etc.) to either attract new tenants or retain existing tenants. The current tenant friendly environment is expected to continue until vacancy rates tighten further, as landlords realize that every lost day of revenue (i.e. vacant space) is a day of revenue they will never get back. While the State of Delaware continues to offer an attrac- tive business climate for new companies seeking to locate in the Mid-Atlantic region, the State is currently bracing for the yet-to-be determined effect of the recent Dow / DuPont merger and the already an- nounced downsizing of one of its longest standing corporate citizens, DuPont, which will definitely have an impact on Delaware’s office market. This uncertainty makes it a difficult task to predict the pace of of- fice space absorption, which is so closely tied to office-related employment.
