Cushman & Wakefield announced the arrangement of the $54,600,000 million sale of Osceola Logistics Center, a property with two newly delivered distribution facilities totaling 280,800 square feet in Kissimmee, Florida. 📍 The property was sold by InLight Real Estate Partners and Black Salmon Capital, who developed the project in 2024 and were represented by Cushman & Wakefield in the lease up during construction. Osceola Logistics Center was fully leased at the time of sale by a supply chain services company in the grocery and food service space. “Black Salmon continues to pursue investment in the industrial property sector due to strong fundamentals and tailwinds supporting a long-term investment strategy,” said Jorge Escobar, managing partner and co-CEO of Black Salmon. “Our latest investments are representative of the type of industrial assets we target and how we intend to grow our diversified portfolio for our investors.” 🎯   “We have been focused on markets where we have high conviction and developing industrial product that is most desired by users in their respective markets. This strategy has proved to be highly successful,” said Stephen Evans, managing director of Black Salmon and portfolio manager for the company's industrial fund. “Going forward, we intend to significantly expand our industrial-focused investment strategy as we remain bullish in the property sector and see great opportunity in the Sunbelt and port markets.” #realestateinvestment #commercialrealestate #industrialrealestate

The industrial real estate market will continue to face challenges such as labor issues, rising transportation costs, supply chain disruptions and oversupply in some markets. ✋🏻 Despite these headwinds, companies continue to build out their supply chains to reduce time, reduce expenses, and increase efficiency to mitigate these challenges. The primary drivers to industrial real estate demand continue to be the growth of e-commerce, population growth and onshoring/near shoring coupled with the need to increase supply chain efficiency and warehouse modernization. ⚙ Black Salmon Capital believes that an industrial real estate investment strategy focused on opportunities across the supply chain within the best markets will outperform. The aging warehouse stock across the U.S. is not designed to meet the demands of an evolving and complex supply chain. ⌛ Black Salmon has capitalized on this demand shift for modern state-of-the-art facilities by developing the right product in key industrial markets that provide long-term value and optimize efficiency for users. “We intend to invest strategically in the industrial real estate market across key subsectors,” says Stephen Evans Black Salmon Managing Director and Portfolio Manager. “We believe that the industrial property type should be an important part of any real estate investment portfolio due to the long-term demand drivers and that our holistic investment approach in the industrial sector will produce strong risk-adjusted returns.” #realestateinvestment #commercialrealestate #industrialrealestate

Over the past few years, general interest in #health and wellness has boomed. In the United States alone, the #wellness market has reached $480 billion, growing at 5 to 10 percent per year, according to McKinsey & Company’s latest Future of Wellness research. 🏋♂️ Today, 82 percent of U.S. consumers consider wellness a top priority in their everyday lives. This is especially true for #GenZ and #millennial consumers, who are now investing more in wellness products and services than older generations across areas like health, sleep, #nutrition, fitness appearance, and #mindfulness. 🧘♂️ When choosing where to live, it is likely that a residence’s wellness features and #amenities —from its fitness center to its green spaces— will play a significant role in potential residents' decision-making.

The Magic City keeps attracting the big players. One of the world’s top #HedgeFunds, Elliott Management, is expanding its portfolio with a $450M purchase of a Miami office tower, according to Bloomberg News. Following the relocation of its headquarters to downtown West Palm Beach, Elliott is capitalizing on #opportunities throughout the region by providing significant funding, including a $565M loan for a new office tower and $527M in construction financing for a luxury residential condominium, both located in Brickell, #Miami. With each new #investment, Miami's reputation as a thriving financial and real estate hub grows stronger, and we remain firm believers in the continued #prosperity of our region.

Let’s dive a bit into the U.S. #industrial market, which remains resilient with strong demand and rental rate growth. Here are a few key takeaways from the latest Cushman & Wakefield report for Q2 2024: ● High demand in key areas: Net absorption surged to 46.3 million square feet, driven by high demand in major markets. ● Less construction underway: Construction has slowed down a bit, with a 14% drop in #projects. Currently, 343 million square feet are being built, which might mean less available space in the future. 🏗 ● Vacancy rates up: Vacancies rose to 6.1%, the highest in nearly nine years, but still below pre-pandemic levels and considered a healthy rate for the market. ● Moderate rent growth: Rent growth has eased, increasing by 3.7% year-over-year. This is the slowest growth since 2020, with a similar trend expected for the next couple of years. ● Strong leasing activity: #Leasing is strong, with more deals being signed than before the pandemic, including several large ones. 🤝 ● Preference for modern spaces: Tenants are leaning towards newer, more efficient spaces, keeping demand for modern properties high. And driving part of these positive fundamentals, Amazon has been very active in the market, completing 34 lease deals so far this year, totaling an impressive 17 million square feet. 📸 Featured in the picture is Osceola Logistics Center, part of Black Salmon Capital’s Industrial Fund I.

Art is important for Black Salmon as one of the elements to create remarkable buildings that foster unique and inspiring environments. Here’s a glimpse of the abstract meninas by Ana Gutiérrez that adorn our #multifamily building, Wynwood Haus. These pieces are inspired by Diego Velázquez's famous painting Las Meninas. 🖌️ Just as Velázquez's original work engages viewers by directing the gaze of its characters towards the observer, our building —located in a vibrant #art district, and featuring thoughtfully designed amenities and spaces— has been crafted with the well-being and #lifestyle of its tenants in mind. Black Salmon’s vision is now underscored by the vibrant colors 🎨 and artistic expression of Ana Gutiérrez's meninas, adding an extra layer of beauty and significance to #WynwoodHaus.
