A CMBS lender required a complete appraisal for acquisition of a 150,000 square foot Class A office building on the I-287 corridor in White Plains. The subject building catered to tenants of 4,000 square feet or less and had a historical vacancy rate of less than 9 percent. Of concern was the overall office market as reported by the major brokerage firms with a vacancy rate in excess of 16 percent.


To clearly identify the performance characteristics of various office market segments within the I-287 corridor. Capitalizing on their extensive research into the Westchester and Fairfield County Office markets (see Our Thinking) the AM team segmented the I-287 corridor Class A office market into those building that catered to large office space users and those that catered to smaller office space users (the subjects’ market).


Based on AMC research the market segmentation process of the I-287 clearly demonstrated the subject’s small user market to have historical, current, and projected superior market characteristics and thus significantly out performed the overall office market. The result was a conclusive, market based, and empirical supported analysis that supported the loan.
