The vacancy of finished offices in Tallinn’s office premises market decreased considerably, falling to the lowest level of recent years in the first quarter of 2015. ERI Kinnisvara monitors the asking prices in key office buildings and the volume of vacant premises since 2011. The current sample includes 20 office buildings with a total of 145,869 m² of rental floor area. The buildings have a class A rating for technical quality and A or B rating for location. The monitoring has enabled to identify the following trends:

• The number of offers, which had increased significantly due to the addition of new buildings, has gradually decreased from the start of the year. Essentially, the market absorbed the additional spaces as early as in the third quarter of 2014.
• The total available area of new completed premises is at the lowest level of recent years. At the end of the first quarter of 2015, there were 4,507 m2 of vacant office spaces in the monitored 20 office buildings, which is at the same level as a year ago (there were 9,334 m2 of vacant premises in Q4 2013 and 14,478 m² of vacant premises in Q1 2014).
• Addition of new office buildings to the market continues. Several new office buildings are being constructed, with the expected arrival on the market of buildings at Valukoja 8 (2016), Narva mnt 63 (2015), Hallivanamehe 4 (2015), and Lõõtsa 5 (2015) providing a total capacity of ca 40,000 m².
