This report analyzes global office market conditions, comparing data from Q3 2009 and Q1 2010. Key findings include:

• Availability declined significantly in many regions, notably in the Middle East (e.g., Dubai dropped from 40% to 6% of space available, indicating tighter market conditions and potential consolidation, while in places like Washington DC and Houston, availability fluctuated less but remained moderate).

• Prime rents remained high in prime locations like Manhattan and London West End, driven by strong demand and superior conditions. Yields were higher in emerging markets such as those in the Middle East and Asia (e.g., Kuwait City had a yield increase to 10%, suggesting higher risk or recovery stage), contrasting with low yields in developed centers like Manhattan and London.

• The indicative cost of debt was consistent overall, averaging around 8.5%, but varied by region due to local economic factors. City-specific details show variations in availability, rents, and yields, highlighting regional disparities in market health and sentiment.

Overall, the transition reflects a post-recession recovery with uneven trends between emerging and mature markets, indicating resilience in prime areas and challenges in faster-evolving regions.
