GE AZ61H12D
President Joseph Nicolla said no tenants are committed to movinfg intothe 405,000-square-foot building--dubbedc Wellington Place--and he's not looking at any from other downtown landlords. Still, that's a lot of spacee to fill in the city's central business The tower will be the firstnew large-scalwe office development downtown since Columbiaw Development opened a 12-story building at 677 Broadway in Januar y 2005. That building was nearly fully leased beforeit opened, which created vacancies in othe r Class A space downtown. A competitor, , owns or manages abouf 750,000 square feet of commercial officespace downtown, including 54 States St., 40 Beaver St.
, and the KeyCorpl building at 66 S. Pearl St. Mark vice president for real estate servicesxat Omni, declined to reveal the vacancy rate in the company's real estate holdings but said addinh 405,000 square feet of inventoryg would have a "serious if Columbia Development competes for existingh private sector tenants. "Our hope is certainlyu taking whatJoe [Nicolla] said at face Aronowitz said. "We're hoping that is true and we're hopingt he is able to either attract a large tenant from outside the area ora public-sector tenantr to fill the space." According to the most recenyt /Albany survey, there were 2.
1 millionn square feet of Class A office spacd in Albany's central business district, with a vacancyt rate of 4.4 percent. Including Class B and Classw C space, the total inventory was 6.06 million-square-feet, with a vacancy rate of 10 percent. The survey was taken in the second quarterof 2007. Jeffrey managing partner of C.B. Richard said no single private-sector tenant could occupy all of the spacee in the new Wellington Place. He anticipates the bulk will be filled by the stats or federal government offices that are currentlhy in Class B or C spacwe inthe suburbs. Smaller portions may be taken by a law firm or insurance company that want to move downtowmn fromthe suburbs.
"I don't see it [Wellingtomn Place] increasing the vacancy factor in Class A Sperry said.

youngmanmeledero1636.blogspot.com
plans to conduct auctions June 21 for the 24 remaininv unitsat Duo. Duo, in the Castleberr y Hill area ofdowntown Atlanta, was built in 2007 by Minimu m bids for the units will starr at $75,000, up to 62 percent below previous asking prices. The auction at Duo is the fifth such auctioj conducted by Accelerated Marketing Partnerzs andJon Gollinger, company co-founder and East Coast CEO, who said he is startinh to "feel the floor" for the entry-level and moderate-priced condo market in Atlanta. Accelerated Marketing Partners has done auctionn sales of unitsat Element, Horizom at Wildwood, Aqua and Cosmopolitan.
At Cosmopolitann in the Lindbergh area, Accelerated Marketing Partners sold 43 unitsxat auction, then an additional 15 units sold aftetr that, Gollinger said. "In each the market is starting to create a valuepoint [for condok units] that seems to be gettinv a bit consistent," he said. Atlanta's entry-levep and moderate-priced condo market "is respondint as well as any place in the countryrightf now." But there is still a saturation of luxury and near-luxury units in Atlanta "and that is whers you are really going to see the problem," Gollinger Luxury condos are still competing with luxury single-family homed here.
Gollinger defines the luxur y and near luxury condos in Atlantaas "thosse glass towers in Buckhead and Midtown that were expensive to put up and beautifully done," he In New York City, those units woulde sell for $1,200 a squarde foot, "but in Atlanta, even at its peak, was only $500 a squares foot." The sales at Aqua were more in the near luxurt to luxury price range, he said. Sales thered were as high as $407,000. Atlantaa is probably looking "at another year" of auctiom events "but the market is responding tothesre events," Gollinger said. Of the condol sales in the first halfof 2009, he's estimatingf most are from auction sales.
He expects the auctiojn at Duo willdo well. "We'l l sell those out in an hour," he predicted. Five one-bedroon units to be sold at auction are approximately 860squars feet, with minimum bids startinbg at $75,000.
