GlobeSt.com: What opportunities do you see in your market?

Tritschler: Atlanta is well positioned especially in the office market with limited new construction and consistent job growth during the last few years and anticipated for the intermediate term. We have had strong office space absorption with rising rental rates. We see continued upward value in office product.

GlobeSt.com: How are you leveraging those opportunities?

Tritschler: We have a terrific support staff, analytic and research capabilities to leverage our knowledge and to assist our clients.

GlobeSt.com: What are your goals moving forward?

Tritschler: We have had a phenomenal early stage growth run as Avison Young has entered the US—from its Canadian origin—in 2009 and Avison Young has now moved into several international markets. I was one of the original members of the US Capital Markets Group and would like to continue to help our group grow and expand, particularly in Atlanta and the Southeastern US.

ATLANTA—Atlanta's office market appears to be hitting on all cylinders—but will office values keep rising? Matthew Tritschler, a principal in Avison Young's Atlanta office, is betting so.

Although Tritschler takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the market, with skills across multifamily, office, retail, industrial and mixed-use commercial real estate properties, he's had his eye on the office market. He likes what he sees.

According to Avison Young's first quarter 2016 Atlanta Office Market Report, class a vacancy ended the quarter at 13%. That's down 130 basis points year-over-year and the lowest level since 2001.
