Melville, NY—Long Island recorded its fifth consecutive quarter of falling overall vacancy rates in the final quarter of the year, according to Jones Lang LaSalle. The market's overall vacancy rate fell to 13.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of 20.2 percent (or 340 basis points) from 16.8 percent one year ago. Strong tenant demand for Long Island office space during the past year has suppressed vacancy rates across all submarkets and building classes. Tenants leased about 2.23 million square feet of space throughout Long Island in 2016, down slightly from the 2.42 million square feet of space leased the previous year. The largest transactions recorded this quarter were both renewals, with the government of Nassau County renewing 217,000 square feet at 60 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard in Uniondale, and Merrill Lynch renewing 50,000 square feet at 1325 Franklin Avenue in Garden City.
