First-quarter office and industrial vacancy rates continued a downward trend, suggesting that the Jacksonville business economy continues to improve.

The vacancy rate for office space stood at 21.9 percent for the quarter, according to real estate brokers and consultants Cushman & Wakefield. That was an improvement over the 22.5 percent vacancy in the first quarter of 2010.

Industrial vacancy dropped compared to the first quarter of 2010, from 12.5 to 11.4 percent.
