Rent Rates for Boston Retail Space
Rental rates in the Boston retail market are slightly lower than last quarter (down 0.2%) and essentially flat from one year ago (down 0.07%). In the Back Bay, quoted retail rent rates for the third quarter averaged $60.87 per square foot; in the South End, $31.22 per square foot; and the Financial District, $35.00 per square foot.
Largest Lease Signings in Greater Boston
The largest lease signings of 2011 include a 60,000 square foot lease by Stop & Shop at Atlantic Plaza (Reading, MA), a 45,000 square foot lease by Whole Food Market in Lynnfield, MA, and most recently, a 43,998 square foot lease by Restoration Hardware in Boston’s Back Bay. Restoration Hardware will be moving into the former Louis Boston building.
Improvement in the Market
While rent rates are down, the Boston retail market showed improvement in the third quarter. The vacancy rate is down to 4.6% for the Boston market. In the Back Bay, which includes premier shopping destination Newbury Street, vacancy is down to 3.6%.
With the improvement of the market, now is a wise time to invest in retail properties. Single-tenant, triple-net leases, for instance, are becoming increasingly popular as investment opportunities; particularly with the recent ups-and-downs of the stock market.

Downtown Boston's thriving commercial space
Boston Commercial Real Estate Rent Changes
Across the city, rents were down 2.1% in the third quarter of 2011. The average rent rate for office space in the Boston area is down to $20.39 per square foot. Class A rates saw the greatest decrease – coming down to $26.36 per square foot from $27.94 per square foot in the prior quarter. In Boston’s central business district (which includes premier areas such as the Back Bay and the Financial District), rent rates are down nearly 8% from Q2 to $34.36 per square foot.
Vacancy and Availability
It appears that prospective tenants are taking advantage of these lower rents, as the amount of available space is down as well. Availability in the Boston area dropped by 4% in the third quarter of 2011, which leaves Boston with an 11% vacancy rate overall. In Boston’s central business district, vacancy is slightly higher (around 11.2%) but is still down from Q2.
Conclusion
Rent rates are still down, but available spaces are getting filled up rapidly. Now is an excellent time to look for a new space for your business!
