Market is improving, show the space and you will fill it.
Most space in IE are filling up from diverse markets. Niche products like that which MGR owns and manages are 97% full.

Largest tenants, Healthcare, Schools,
Office vacancies. Low was at 27% Available, Current rates are about 15%, improvement yet still room to grow.

Construction is expensive and most growth seems to currently be in building acquisition, and rehab. Spec development is a challenge due to regulation, and costs. Rates need to be $2.35- $2.50 to justify constructing new buildings

Leasing Cycle: last three years feeling of false starts. 1st qtr absorption showing great strength this year. If we can hold for 12 months, growth will be exponential. Popular belief is we are 3/4 to a complete recovery in the commercial markets.

Large Opportunity Markets currently, San Bernardino/ High Desert

Ontario Airport impact will be tremendous, and business and industry demands easy access to air travel for corporate reasons. Industry is dependent around efficiency. Autonomy at the airport and airfares will be a huge driver for the IE looking forward!

Non-Financial Trends in IE: Tightening on the spaces available. Change in how workplaces are setup, and designs on workspace.
"Creative Office Space"
Attracting millennials and the up coming workforces from the beach communities..
Regus "Esque" Workspaces continue to drive trends in commercial space..
Shared Desk Concept. Smaller offices are the way of future?

Where are we on the investment cycle? Consensus: Early on
