THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF RISING EFFECTIVE RENT
Takeaway
Tenant effective rent posted its third consecutive year-on-year increase. Effective rent rose at roughly the same amount as in 2016, but concessions jumped by more than 10%. Tenants displayed additional price resistance during 2017. Some found space in alternative areas such as El Segundo and Playa Vista. Consolidation in the media and entertainment sector could temper leasing activity and rent increases in 2018.
