Moin Xerxes!
Hab mal bei der ersten Organisation auf der HP gestöbert; nicht nur die Vermietungen, sondern natürlich auch die Verkaufszahlen haben sich nach unten orientiert.

Real Estate Alert...04/03/2002
The market for large office properties got off to a bad start this year, as sales volume plummeted by 47% in the first quarter, according to a survey by Real Estate Alert.
Some $ 3.7 billion of properties traded from January to March, down from $ 7 billion a year earlier, according to preliminary data from the survey, which tracks sales of $ 20 million and more. The number of transactions plunged to 66 from 115.
The slowdown is expected to carry at least into the second quarter and perhaps over the rest of the year. Some $ 4 billion of office properties are now under contract. But given the amount of lead time needed to close deals, as well as the fact that some sales agreements end up collapsing, the market is likely to fall well short of matching the $ 8.9 billion of volume logged in last year's second quarter. Indeed, some brokers who follow the national scene predict that sales this year will fall to roughly $ 20 billion, or 35% below last year's total of $ 31 billion.
The nation's office markets face multiple problems. Vacancy rates have risen dramatically in a number of areas - reflecting corporate downsizing, especially in the high-tech sector. Rents have flattened in many markets and dropped modestly in others. And while prices have stabilized in some markets, such as Dallas, the bottom has not yet been reached in others, like Northern California.
With vacancy rates on the rise, investors have become increasingly interested in safer investments, such as single-tenant properties carrying long-term leases, and sale-leaseback transactions, under which the seller of a property agrees to a lease - usually for a long term at an attractive rate.
In several markets, it's become clear that buyers are not interested in properties above certain per-foot prices. In Northern New Jersey, no deals have been struck above $ 200/sf; whereas in 2001 a handful of buildings sold for more than $ 230/sf. In Houston, meanwhile, properties seldom sell for more than $ 130/sf.
The Los Angeles area was the most-active market in the first quarter, with six deals totaling $ 651.1 million, including Maguire Partners' purchase of a 75% stake in Library Tower for $ 300 million. Chicago and its suburbs came next, at $ 475 million, followed by Washington ($ 460.2 million), South Florida ($ 272.2 million) and the Dallas area ($ 260.5 million).
