ORANGE COUNTY, CA-The office picture is brightening in Orange County as the final quarter of 2012 saw nearly 500,000 square feet of positive net absorption, according to Voit Real Estate Services‘ fourth-quarter market report. In addition, the industrial market here posted one of the lowest vacancy rates seen in 15 quarters, finishing the year at 4.68%.
