The capitalization rate (cap rate) for mid-market office properties in Miami-Dade County (5,000 to 10,000 square feet) drifted to just under 6% in the most recent period reported by Costar. As can be seen in the attached chart, cap rates have gyrated around 6% to 7% midpoint, and of late have been in decline since their 2013 peak a couple of points higher.
In recent years, increases in rent and declines in vacancy, combined with stable cap rates, have led to higher prices on many area office properties. Much of these gains, however, has been in class A properties, with many mid-market properties experiencing less rental increases and decease in vacancy.
