The JLL inventory includes all development above 35,000 square feet, with the exception of Downtown Palo Alto and Downtown Mountain View. Silicon Valley data includes San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, and the City of Fremont.

Average asking rents are “Full Service Gross” (FSG), which is the monthly rental rate and includes common area maintenance fees, utility fees, and taxes/insurance fees. The vacancy rate is the amount of unoccupied space, and is calculated by dividing the direct and sublease vacant space by the building base. The vacancy rate does not include occupied spaces presently being offered on the market for sale or lease. Average asking rents, where not noted as nominal, have been inflation-adjusted and are reported in 2017 dollars, using the February 2017 Bay Area consumer price index for all urban consumers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
