Lee & Associates: Absorption Is Positive Across All Property Types According to Third-Quarter Report Perhaps the most salient information within Lee & Associates Commercial Real Estate Services’ 2024 Q3 North America Market Report pertains to the office market. The third quarter of 2024 ended nine continuous quarters of negative net absorption in the office sector. However, additional occupancy losses may be on the horizon for the office market, even as supply pressures ease for this property type. Positive retail news has led to positive industrial news, as rising demand for retail goods has bolstered tenant demand for industrial space just as additional industrial inventory is coming on line. Steady economic growth and continuing impediments to home ownership have created strong absorption in the multifamily sector. Rent growth and vacancy rates have largely plateaued. Lee & Associates has made their complete third-quarter report available here (with more detailed information broken down according to property type). Below is an overview of the strengths and challenges in the industrial, office, retail and multifamily sectors. https://lnkd.in/dcgAG8Tu Sponsored by Lee & Associates Commercial Real Estate Services #office #industrialcre #retail #multifamily #cre #commercialrealestate

Protect Your Retail Space from Car Damage By the time you finish reading this article, somewhere in the United States, a car will have run over the curb of a busy road, crossed the sidewalk and crashed into a retail space. “There’s not a doubt in my mind that somebody is driving into a storefront right now,” says Jess Suazo, regional service manager for Colt Facility Maintenance, based in Dallas. Suazo’s company specializes in systems of bollards that protect buildings from these collisions. Also, for buildings not properly protected from collisions, companies like Colt provide emergency services. Colt technicians arrive at damaged buildings within hours, secure the site, prevent further damage and begin the process of cleaning up. https://lnkd.in/d5XKV-Qu Sponsored by Colt Facility Maintenance #carstrikes #retail #shoppingcenter

Why Are Office Conversion Projects So Tough To Pull Off? Successfully executing a commercial conversion project is like hitting a six-leg parlay in sports betting: A lot of dominoes have to fall the right way, and without a little luck and outside help, it’s probably not happening. Take the embattled office sector. Even working professionals from outside the office real estate market who read the plethora of mainstream news articles recognize that it’s no small feat to turn those buildings into apartments. After all, when you’re dealing with thousands of tons of steel, glass and concrete in any capacity, things are bound to get messy. But theoretically, if the demand for more housing is there — and there can be little arguing that it is — and cities recognize that office usage has forever changed, then why aren’t we seeing more of these projects come to fruition in our cities?

Renter Profiles Are Changing – How Multifamily Operators Can Minimize the Risks of Rent Default and More Despite the persistent housing shortage, landlords are having a more difficult time qualifying potential residents, especially non-traditional applicants who don’t check the usual boxes for credit and employment history. Renters are also facing bigger hurdles for income, credit and up-front deposits. “It has become increasingly expensive and challenging to rent an apartment in the United States,” says Eben MacNeille, senior director of sales at TheGuarantors. The New York-based financial technology company serves the multifamily industry by providing lease guarantees, security deposit replacements and renters insurance and compliance solutions. https://lnkd.in/dpgDaJHn Sponsored by TheGuarantors #multifamily #affordablehousing
