Report: Westport Commercial Real Estate Takes Hit

Ted Hampe, chairman of HK Group, said his company tracks some 172 office buildings, with square footage totaling about 2,620,000 square feet, of which 191,300 was vacant on July 1.
However, Hampe said an additional 131,000 square feet was being offered for sub-lease or future direct lease, reflecting planned tenant moves. Therefore, the office availability rate was 12.5 percent on July 1, he said.
“The Westport office market is showing a disturbing trend with relatively few leases in the first half of 2008, predictive of higher vacancy rates in future periods,” Hampe said.
