Based on the prevalence of office buildings as investments, rental and vacancy rates for individual office buildings as well as the tenant structure have become important indicators for real estate investment profit. However, few studies have discussed the effect of tenant structure on rental and vacancy rates. This study examines 90 office buildings in major business areas in Taipei and applies three-stage least squares (3SLS) methods to analyze factors affecting rental and vacancy rates of individual office buildings. Empirical results suggest an increase in the vacancy rate decreases monthly rent, and increase in monthly rent increase the building vacancy rate. Furthermore, many factors, such as the average number of tenants per floor, average rental size per tenant, foreign firms as the predominant tenants in an office building, and average firm return rate can reduce the vacancy rate of office buildings, and increase rents for investors. |
