PLEASANTON, Calif. — Hacienda saw a 1.14% decline in occupancy in the third quarter over the end of the second quarter. Overall vacancy at 15.76% is now just over two percent greater than the close of 2022 but less than the 16.04% vacancy seen at the end of the first quarter. The major contributing factor to these changes has been the broad shift in the demand for office that has resulted in large releases of space being made available by some existing tenants. Regional market activity remains temperate although there have been some increases in inquiries and prospective investigations into new leases. However, the path to reducing vacancy in currently available office space remains uncertain at best. 2023 has continued to see no new investment sales and none are currently anticipated. Additional stabilization in market demand coupled with stabilization in the financial markets are key to seeing a return of occupancy and investment. The park is the largest mixed-use development of its kind in Northern California.

“Net absorption is still down from the close of 2022 and has remained relatively constant since April. This is also reflected in the amount of overall activity and inquiry that has occurred over the last six months which has been modest at best,” stated James Paxson, Hacienda's general manager. "Office space continues to be the most challenging product to fill. Questions remain about the patterns of occupancy that will develop as new work models emerge post-pandemic and what each individual type of business sees as its office need in the future. This has been further complicated by the availability and cost of capital for business which appears to be slowing down the realization of some of the demand that might otherwise be present. While there has been a slight increase in interest, all opportunities for occupancy are highly competitive and the need to demonstrate value for business investment in office space has never been more important."
