Q1 - 2015 North American Industrial HighlightsCoy Davidson
The North American industrial vacancy rate declined 15 basis points to 6.7% in Q1 2015. Net absorption was strong at 63.1 million square feet, while 52.0 million square feet of new space was added. Healthy demand and a need for modern space has led to an upswing in construction activity in both the US and Canada. Tightening market conditions have pushed up industrial rents, with average US warehouse rents rising 2.2% to $5.16 per square foot.
Q1 2015 North American Office HighlightsCoy Davidson
The document summarizes key trends in the North American office market in Q1 2015. While US economic and job growth slowed in Q1 due to poor weather and weakness in energy, the office market recovery is expected to continue for the rest of 2015. The overall vacancy rate was flat, with a modest increase in Canada and no change in the larger US market. Office absorption slowed but construction activity also decreased slightly. Going forward, investor demand for office properties is expected to remain robust in 2015.
The Philippine economy grew 6.9% in the first quarter, driven by investments and household spending. The office and industrial markets saw increased demand, while the residential sector remained subdued due to oversupply concerns. The hotel market saw lower occupancy despite more tourists, as new rooms opened.

Q2 2105 North American Industrial HighligtsCoy Davidson
The North American industrial market continued its strong expansion in Q2 2015, with record low vacancy rates, net absorption, and construction completions. In the U.S., the vacancy rate fell for the 22nd straight quarter while industrial space demand pushed up asking rents in most markets. However, market strength was highly concentrated in a handful of regions, and recent financial volatility points to increasing global economic risks that could slow future industrial space demand growth. Overall, the industrial sector performance has been among the strongest this century but some caution is still warranted.
- Two new office buildings were delivered in Hanoi in Q1 2016, adding over 65,600 sqm of new office space. Overall office vacancy rates increased slightly, while average asking rents decreased year-over-year.

- The retail market saw no new supply in Q1 2016, with overall vacancy rates decreasing year-over-year. Average asking rents increased moderately both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. Over 175,000 sqm of new retail space is forecasted for 2016.
The CII ASCON Industry Survey for the April – June FY16 quarter reveals a reversal from the earlier trend of slowing growth, with indications of a recovery taking shape in the economy, albeit a slow one. The latest Survey, which tracks the growth of the industrial sector through responses collected from sectoral industry associations, reveals a slight improvement in growth trends in terms of production over the corresponding quarter a year ago.
The CII ASCON Industry Survey which tracks the growth of different industrial and services sectors of the economy, is based on the feedback collected from industry associations affiliated to CII. The industry associations encompass wide range of sectors comprising of small, medium and large enterprises. In most of the cases, these account for approximately 70% of the total industry output in the respective sectors.
The Survey was conducted from mid-June till end of July 2015 and tracks the estimated growth trends in terms of Production, Sales and Exports for Q1 FY 16.Responses have been segregated in the following four broad categories: (i) ‘Excellent’ (growth in excess of 20%), (ii) ‘High’ (growth in the range of 10-20%), (iii) ‘Moderate’ (growth in the range of 0-10%) and (iv) ‘Negative’ (growth less than 0%).
Of the 93 sectors surveyed, the share of sectors that have recorded excellent growth of more than 20 percent in Q1 (April –June) FY16 quarter has surged up to 16.1 percent (15 out of 93 respondents) as against 7.1 percent (8 out of 112) recorded in the year ago period. This is a clear indication of improvement over the last year.
While the share of sectors witnessing a high growth rate of 10 to 20 percent has reduced significantly to 9.7 percent (7 out of 93) in April-June FY16 from 14.3 percent (16 out of 112) during the corresponding period a year ago, the share of sectors reporting moderate growth has declined marginally to 51.7 percent (47 out of 93) as compared to 51.8 percent in the year ago period. At the same time, the number of sectors recording negative growth has fallen from 26.9 percent (30 out of 112) in the first quarter last year to 23.6 percent (21 out of 93) in the first quarter this year.
On the issues and concerns impacting growth, margin pressure from stiff competition, competition from imports, shortage of power, high regulatory burden, lack of domestic and export demand, shortage of skilled labour and talent and high tax burden have been cited as the most important constraints by more than 50 percent of the respondents.

The Houston industrial market felt the effects of falling oil prices in the fourth quarter of 2015. Absorption slowed and vacancy increased slightly, though remained low overall. Asking rental rates leveled off after significant growth in 2015. Notable activity included large lease renewals by Exel and Michelin and a new 800,000 square foot FedEx facility under construction. Trends to watch include slowing job growth and the impact of lower energy sector employment on industrial submarkets.
The unemployment rate in South Africa increased in Q1:2017 to 27,7%, the highest rate since September 2003. The growth in employment by 144 000, was offset by the growth in the number of job-seekers by 433 000 driving the unemployment rate to 27,7% in the first quarter of 2017.
- Real GDP decreased by 0.7% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2017, according to seasonally adjusted and annualized figures. This followed eight consecutive quarters of contraction in agriculture.
- Trade and manufacturing were the two major industries that contributed negatively to GDP growth in Q1 2017. Agriculture and mining saw increased production and contributed positively.
- Household final consumption expenditure decreased by 2.3% quarter-on-quarter due to lower spending on food, clothing, footwear and transport. Exports of goods and services also declined while imports increased.

Chinese manufacturing activity expanded at the fastest pace in a decade in November, according to a private survey. Output and new orders grew at their strongest rates in 10 years. Strong demand led factories to increase hiring for the third straight month at the quickest pace since 2011. Input costs rose sharply, driven by higher raw material prices, pushing factories to raise their own selling prices. Overall, the survey indicates that China's manufacturing recovery continued to accelerate in November.
The budget document discusses the challenges facing the Indian economy such as slowing global growth, rural distress, and weak private investment. It highlights key figures from the Union Budget for 2016-17, including a fiscal deficit target of 3.5% of GDP. Expenditure is expected to increase 10.8% while receipts will rise 15.5%. Spending will focus on rural development, social sectors, and infrastructure. The budget aims to boost growth while maintaining fiscal discipline.
With the economy growing at its fastest pace in the current cycle, employers across industries are adding jobs, especially in urban and dense markets where talent is migrating. As a result, expansionary activity remained the dominant driver of leasing in the third quarter, accounting for 57.9 percent of lease transactions.

Revenue from taxable sources - Steve Macey, ASIStephen Macey
This document discusses taxation of extractive industries in 3 paragraphs:
1) Extractive industries provide significant revenues for many countries. There are various fiscal instruments like royalties, corporate taxes, bonuses and others that countries use to tax extractive projects. Effective tax systems balance compensation for resource use with investor returns and ensure stable, predictable revenues.
2) Different regimes like licensing, production sharing or contracts are used. Special features of extractives include large upfront costs, unpredictable revenues, economic rents, and base erosion through transfer pricing. Countries must consider administration capacity when designing their tax system.
3) The right fiscal package balances early revenues with long-term investment while addressing country-specific risks. Issues like coordination
Investigation of one compound effect on main neuronal properties in a native ...NEUROSERVICE
The document reports on an investigation of the effects of Compound A on neuronal properties in rat hippocampal slices. The study evaluated the effects of Compound A on input/output properties, paired-pulse facilitation, basal synaptic transmission, long-term potentiation, long-term depression, and paired-pulse inhibition. The results showed that Compound A slightly decreased basal synaptic transmission but did not modify other properties like paired-pulse facilitation or long-term potentiation and depression. The conclusion is that Compound A does not significantly affect the main neuronal properties evaluated in the study.
1) Independent agencies are growing faster than holding companies, driven by factors like digital growth, advertisers valuing local control and trust, and technology.
2) Independent agencies prioritize clients and people/employees over shareholders, which fosters a culture that is driven, independent, scrappy, and client-focused rather than political.
3) In a digitally connected world, independence and collaboration are seen as positives by clients, and physical networks are less important than a similar mindset and approach.

The document summarizes the key takeaways from a Q1 2015 North American office market outlook report. It finds that while US economic and job growth slowed in Q1 due to poor weather, a weak energy industry, and reduced exports, the office market recovery is expected to continue through 2015 as growth strengthens. The North American vacancy rate was flat at 12.9% in Q1, with a modest increase in Canada and no change in the larger US market. Office absorption slowed in North America but the US suburban market saw strong growth, while US CBD absorption virtually halted. Construction activity decreased slightly in the US for only the second time in the recovery.

2015 2Q North American Office Market ReportCoy Davidson
The U.S. office market saw improvements in Q2 2015, with vacancy rates declining and absorption improving. However, the Canadian office market weakened, with rising vacancy rates driven by falling oil prices. Overall North American vacancy fell slightly to 12.7%, with U.S. vacancy down to 13.0% and Canadian vacancy up to 9.1%. Absorption was positive in the U.S. at 23.1 million square feet but negative in Canada at -0.5 million square feet. The outlook remains positive for the U.S. office market but negative for Canada due to economic challenges from low oil prices.
Similar to 2014 Q4 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL HIGHLIGHTS (20)
Cross-border investment in US commercial real estate more than doubled in Q1 2015 compared to the previous year, totaling $22.2 billion. Industrial transactions saw the largest increase, up 97% due to several large portfolio sales. Singapore-based GIC acquired Blackstone's IndCor industrial portfolio for $8.1 billion in one such transaction. Cross-border investors concentrated on major markets like Manhattan, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, accounting for over 60% of their investment versus 40% for domestic investors.
The document summarizes key office market indicators and trends for Houston, Texas in Q1 2015. Net absorption slowed to 1.2 million SF compared to 2.3 million SF in Q1 2014, while vacancy rates increased slightly. Rental rates remained relatively stable, increasing 0.9% citywide. Over 3.5 million SF of new inventory delivered during the quarter, with 68% pre-leased. The effects of lower oil prices are beginning to impact the Houston office market, as available sublease space increased 33% and job growth slowed compared to previous periods. However, vacancy rates remain moderate and most proposed construction projects have been put on hold, which should help stabilize the market.
This document provides an overview of trends impacting law firm real estate strategies. It discusses how law firms are facing increased pricing pressures, forcing them to focus on reducing overhead costs like real estate. As a result, many firms are adopting workplace strategies to right-size their footprints, such as utilizing space more efficiently through universal office sizes, mobile workspaces, and technology-enabled collaboration. While these strategies can significantly reduce costs and promote productivity, some firms have been slower to adopt them, either due to lower sensitivity to real estate costs or culture change challenges.

Despite uncertainty around the Affordable Care Act, demand for healthcare real estate continues to rise due to growth in the insured population and an aging baby boomer generation. Medical office vacancy rates are at their lowest since the recession and declining further, while modern, flexible spaces in good locations see the highest demand. Both new construction and space under construction have remained low since the recession, while investment demand and rents have remained stable and capitalization rates have continued to compress.
The document provides an economic outlook for 2015 from K.C. Conway, an economist. Some key points:
1) Houston had strong job growth in 2014 but may see slower growth in 2015, especially if oil prices remain low. The Dallas Fed estimates Texas could lose 140,000 energy-related jobs.
2) National GDP growth is expected to remain around 2.5-3% in 2015. Private payrolls grew steadily in 2014 according to ADP but official government jobs data may be revised.
3) The housing market outlook is positive but single family home construction may be slightly lower in 2015 at 700,000-750,000 units rather than over 1 million. Multi-family construction will be

Research & Forecast Report
INDUSTRIAL MARKET OUTLOOK
Q4 2014
Key Takeaways
>> The North American vacancy rate decreased in Q4 2014 by 22
basis points (bps) to 6.8%. In the U.S., vacancy fell 24 bps to
7.2%. The Canadian vacancy rate remained flat at 4.0% for the
second straight quarter.
>> Net absorption was robust at 70.7 million square feet (MSF) in Q4,
an increase of 5.9 MSF over Q3. U.S. absorption totaled 67 MSF, the
highest quarterly figure during the current cycle.
>> The ongoing strength of the market has induced an increase in
development. Construction volume accelerated in both the U.S. and
Canada during the quarter, totaling 178.2 MSF, up from 155.9 MSF
in Q3 2014. The absorption-new supply ratio decreased slightly to
1.6:1.0 from 1.7:1.0 in Q3 2014, though it is still above the 1.4:1.0 ratio
posted in Q2 2014. The ratio is still high compared with the 2004-
2007 expansion period, when the ratio was 1.3:1.0. Still, this metric is
important to monitor as supply escalates going forward, particularly
given the inevitable deceleration of absorption.
>> Solid economic and e-commerce growth have helped inland
distribution and intermodal markets move past the recovery phase
and into the expansion part of the cycle. Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus
and Houston joined Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle on the list of
markets with favorable supply/demand dynamics.
>> A tentative five-year contract agreement was reached in late
February between West Coast dockworkers and ship and port
owners. However, even with the current agreement, clearing the
backlog of imports and returning to the normal pace of trade flow
is expected to take several more months. Longer-term, increased
contingency planning on the part of retailers could continue to
bolster tenant interest in Gulf and East Coast ports such as Houston,
Savannah and Charleston.
>> The strength of the industrial market has prompted robust investor
activity. According to Real Capital Analytics, North American
transaction volume involving deals of at least $10 million reached
$12.8 billion in Q4 2014, an eight-quarter high. The average cap rate
decreased to 7.1% in Q4 2014, the lowest since Q2 2008. The end of
2014 marked the second year of consistently healthy capital markets
activity, climbing back toward pre-downturn levels.

2 North American Research & Forecast Report | Q4 2014 | Industrial Market Outlook | Colliers International
The North American industrial market experienced another
year of expansion in 2014 alongside improvements in consumer
confidence, hiring, homebuilding and e-commerce, providing
momentum as 2015 began. The Institute for Supply Management
(ISM) reported that the economy grew for the 68th straight month
in January. The manufacturing sector increased for the 20th
straight month, with 14 of 18 surveyed industries reporting growth.
Additionally, rail and intermodal traffic continues to improve per
the Association of American Railroads’ (AAR) Rail Time Indicators.
Industrial demand and capital market conditions illustrate the
strength of these drivers. Net absorption is still generously above
new supply, but the margin is narrowing, which means that supply
in select markets may be more difficult to absorb as the year goes
on. However, despite its upward trajectory, new supply remains
historically low, which should allow for continued market tightening.
Industrial Economic Indicators
A wide swath of industrial economic indicators posted strong results
through the fourth quarter of 2014, boding well for real estate
conditions this year. Real GDP growth for the fourth quarter came
in at an annual rate of 2.2% (second estimate) with an upward
revision to a 5.0% annual rate for 3Q 2014 growth. GDP growth
was led by personal consumption expenditures. Consumption should
continue to rise as wage expectations increase with accelerated
hiring. Additionally, the household debt service ratio is near record
lows, which is expected to allow for more consumer spending. The
auto and housing industries, from which many industrial tenants are
drawn, both are generating optimism for industrial demand. Light
vehicle sales reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of
16.6 million units in January, the 11th consecutive month in which
the SAAR exceeded 16 million. Analysts expect monthly auto sales
to average around a 17 million SAAR in 2015 for annual growth of
roughly 3%.
Housing starts remain significantly below long-term levels but
reached a post-recession high of more than one million in 2014. We
expect starts activity to increase at a moderate rate again in 2015,
driven by only modest interest rate increases and faster-paced
hiring and wage growth. Alongside this improvement, enthusiasm
should build among homebuyers and homebuilders alike, giving
housing industry tenants (homebuilders, plumbing and HVAC
suppliers, landscapers, home goods retailers, etc.) the confidence to
take on more warehouse space.
The ISM’s Report on Business for January 2015 was largely
positive for industrial real estate demand. The overall economy
expanded for the 68th consecutive month and the manufacturing
sector increased for the 20th consecutive month, but in both cases,
expansion has been slowing. The PMI composite index was 53.5,
still at expansion levels, but down from 55.1 in December. The port
slowdown accounted for much of the decline with raw materials
industries (paper, wood) reporting logistical snags that created
a glut of backorders. Still, many manufacturers reported healthy
business conditions, a positive sign for a potential upsurge in the
index in the medium term now that uncertainty with respect to the
West Coast ports has been removed.
Finally, rail and intermodal traffic remains healthy according to the
AAR’s Rail Time Indicators. In 2014, total rail and intermodal traffic
increased by 4.5%, reaching its highest level since 2007. January
started the new year at a brisk pace. Intermodal traffic rose by
0.9% year-over-year, reaching the highest-ever weekly average for
January. January carload traffic was up 5.6% year-over-year with
18 of 20 commodity groups increasing traffic. Traffic is benefiting
from the record $27 billion spent on capital and maintenance
by U.S. railroads in 2014 with $29 billion in additional spending
projected for 2015. The increased operations efficiency should
promote more traffic, leading to more warehouse space demand.

3 North American Research & Forecast Report | Q4 2014 | Industrial Market Outlook | Colliers International
Vacancy
Driven by the U.S. market, the North American vacancy rate decreased
again in Q4. The U.S. vacancy rate fell by 24 bps to 7.2%, its lowest
level in more than 10 years, while the Canadian vacancy rate remained
at 4.0%. Since peaking at 11.2% in Q1 2010, the U.S. vacancy rate has
declined by an average of 21 bps per quarter. Vacancy rates should
continue to fall in the U.S. and Canada in 2015, but the rate of decline is
likely to level off as the market tightens and new supply comes online.
All U.S. regions recorded occupancy gains in Q4 2014, demonstrating
the breadth of the expansion. As in Q3, the West posted the lowest
vacancy rate overall at 5.5%, while the Northeast posted the highest at
9.0% due to the challenge of persistently high vacancy in Boston and
Washington, D.C. Vacancy in the West and Northeast declined by 33
bps and 14 bps, respectively. The 33 bps vacancy decline in the West
was the largest of all regions, led by major markets such as Denver,
Oakland, Seattle and San Jose. The Midwest (26 bps) and South (21
bps) also showed significant vacancy declines. Vacancy increased
in four of the 10 Canadian markets reporting Q4 data, but with the
exception of Waterloo, all of those 10 markets have vacancy rates at
or below 6.0%. Regina (2.1%), Edmonton (3.4%), Toronto (3.8%) and
Winnipeg (3.8%) ranked among the top 10 North American markets
with the lowest vacancy rates.

4. 4 North American Research & Forecast Report | Q4 2014 | Industrial Market Outlook | Colliers International
Vacancy declined in 60 of 72 markets tracked by Colliers that
reported both Q3 2014 and Q4 2014 data. In the markets where
vacancy rose, the increases were marginal and the affected
markets were small. The one exception was Dallas-Fort Worth,
where vacancy rose 68 bps due to a large volume of new bulk
supply coupled with slowing demand for bulk product.
As noted in Colliers’ recent reports, Gulf and East Coast ports
may be gaining appeal due to the recent lengthy, acrimonious
labor negotiations between the International Longshore and
Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association,
which negotiates labor agreements with the ILWU on behalf of
the West Coast port operators and shipping lines. Though a five-
year contract has been agreed upon and the actual shutdown
time was brief, the negotiations and slowdown had a significant
negative impact on the supply chain on both sides of the ocean,
causing lost productivity and great uncertainty with respect to
near-term business operations. Processing delays over the past
several months have caused losses throughout the supply chain,
impeding both manufacturing production and imported retail
goods distribution in the U.S. Agricultural exports spoiled while
waiting for transport in Asia, seasonal retail imports were made
obsolete, and manufacturers were forced to fly in component parts
at great expense to keep operations running. As a result of these
disruptions, Gulf and East Coast ports in right-to-work states with
access to Class 1 railroads, such as Charleston, SC and Savannah,
GA, have attracted consistent increased demand from tenants in
recent quarters.
However, it is important to note that long term, the West Coast
ports are likely to outperform with vacancies consistently below the
national average. Despite the standoff, all four major West Coast
markets (Los Angeles, Inland Empire, Seattle, and Oakland) posted
vacancies below 5.0% in Q4 2014 with quarter-over-quarter
declines in the 40-90 bps range. The one exception is Los Angeles,
where vacancy has been relatively unchanged in the low-to-mid
2% range. The West Coast port infrastructure is well-established,
particularly in Southern California with the Ports of Los Angeles
and Long Beach and the Alameda Corridor, and shipments from
Asia to the East Coast are and will likely remain significantly more
expensive, both by sea and especially air.

Absorption
North American absorption increased by 6 MSF quarter-over-
quarter to nearly 71 MSF in Q4 2014 with a positive contribution
from both the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. Q4 2014 total of 67 MSF
was the highest quarterly total during the current cycle. Positive
absorption should continue in both countries in Q1 2015.
A main theme over the past several quarters has been the growing
outperformance of inland distribution markets as well as those
with rail access to ports as e-commerce increases in importance.
Tenants in these markets can move imports quickly and efficiently
through the supply chain to major population centers, meeting
consumer demand for ever-shorter delivery times. Reflecting
this trend, the top markets for Q4 2014 absorption were Atlanta
(8.9 MSF), Chicago (6.1 MSF), L.A.-Inland Empire (4.6 MSF)
and Columbus (3.0 MSF). The list was similar for year-to-date
absorption, with Columbus replaced by Dallas-Fort Worth (12.7
MSF) and Houston (10.2 MSF). However, absorption in both
Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston slowed down in the fourth quarter,
likely due to the effects of persistent low oil prices, especially in
energy-dependent Houston. As long as oil prices remain low,
absorption growth is likely to moderate in Dallas-Fort Worth and
Houston, as well as in the Canadian energy industry markets
of Edmonton, Calgary, Regina and Saskatchewan. Detroit had a
stellar year in 2014 with 8.6 MSF absorbed thanks to strong auto
manufacturing and sales activity, as well as its new right-to-work
status, which the state gained in 2012. Along with Columbus,
smaller Southeastern and Midwestern markets, such as Louisville,
Cincinnati and Memphis, should see benefits from e-commerce-
related inland throughput traffic.
Another notable trend observed in recent quarters was an
increase in leasing activity in the 50,000 SF to 250,000 SF range.
Improvements in this segment stem from the recovering housing
market as well as increased activity among small businesses. We
expect both of these sectors to continue to strengthen further going
forward, driving demand for industrial projects in this size range.

Construction Activity
Construction activity is firmly on the upswing as improving
fundamentals stimulate development plans. In the U.S., more than
158 MSF are now under way. This is the highest construction
volume in more than 10 years, up 50% from one year ago and
180% from Q4 2012. The current construction surge is justified
since annual new supply following the recession was marginal at
an average of less than 50 MSF between 2010 and 2013. Also, new
stock is needed to meet increased space demand as well as replace
obsolete properties, particularly near population centers as retailers
and e-commerce firms seek to meet growing consumer demand
for same-day and next-day delivery. Annualized new supply as
a percentage of existing inventory stood at 1.1% in both the U.S.
and Canada. However, the ratio crept up by 20 bps quarter-over-
quarter in the U.S. and will move up further in coming quarters,
raising the possibility of oversupply in certain property subtypes
and locations.
For the most part, though, industrial development is concentrated
in major port or distribution markets and in line with tenant
demand. The list of top markets for construction activity by square
footage in Q4 was similar to the top absorption markets: Dallas-
Fort Worth (17.4 MSF), Atlanta (17.1 MSF), L.A.-Inland Empire (15.1
MSF), Chicago (12.6 MSF) and Toronto (8.2 MSF). The top U.S.
markets for construction activity as a percentage of inventory were:
Bakersfield (9.3%), L.A.-Inland Empire (3.4%), Columbus (3.0%),
Minneapolis (2.8%) and Atlanta (2.8%). All of these markets have
vacancy rates below the overall U.S. rate with the exception of
Atlanta, which was severely hit during the downturn but is now
improving rapidly.
Though supply is still at historically low levels, the absorption-to-
new-supply ratio in the U.S. has fallen sharply, from 2.2:1.0 in Q4
2013 and 2.5:1.0 in 2013, to 1.6:1.0 in Q4 2014 and 1.7:1.0 for 2014.
By region, absorption relative to new supply was highest in the
Midwest (1.8:1.0) and lowest in the Northeast (1.3:1.0) in 2014. In
Canada, the Q4 2014 absorption-to-new-supply ratio was 1.3:1.0
and the year-to-date 2014 ratio was 1.2:1.0.
Transaction Activity
Despite widespread expectations to the contrary, 10-year Treasury
yields have remained at or near historic lows over the past two
years, even after quantitative easing was concluded in October
2014. Recent weakened growth conditions globally have led to
worldwide deflationary pressure as well as a flood of capital
seeking safe haven in Treasuries, both factors that have kept yields
hovering around 2%. Current consensus holds that Fed rate hikes
will not occur before June and should be minimal when they do
occur. Going forward, a more material rise in interest rates will
likely accompany further economic improvement.
Along with favorable capital conditions, healthy real estate
fundamentals are drawing investors to industrial real estate. After
dipping slightly in Q3 due to product mix, aggregate U.S. transaction
volume rebounded in Q4 2014 as expected. According to Real
Capital Analytics (RCA), 12-month trailing transaction volume
involving deals of at least $2.5 million totaled more than $54
billion in Q4 2014, a 13.2% increase year-over-year. Additionally,
both U.S. quarterly transaction volume and the average cap rate
returned to levels not seen since Q3 2007. Transaction volume
exceeded $16 billion, and the average cap rate fell 20 bps to 7.0%.
However, unlike in 2007, these are not signs of an overheating
market. The spread between the average cap rate and 10-year
Treasury yield increased slightly to 478 basis points, compared with
a spread of just 179 basis points in Q2 2007 at the peak of the last
cycle. Accelerating NOI growth due to low vacancy and rent growth
traction should help to maintain an attractive spread in the near
term, allowing for continued positive valuation momentum.
As in Q3 2014, the West accounted for the largest amount of
transaction volume in Q4. The West’s $5.4 billion in sales accounted
for more than 30% of all U.S. industrial transactions during the
quarter. Los Angeles had the largest transaction volume among
U.S. metro areas at $1.5 billion for the quarter. The next highest-
volume was $1.1 billion in the greater New York City area (Long
Island, Northern New Jersey, New York City, Stamford, and
Westchester). Chicago ($1.1 billion), Atlanta ($834 million) and
Dallas ($786 million) all had standout quarters, reflecting the
strength of absorption in these markets.

7. 7 North American Research & Forecast Report | Q4 2014 | Industrial Market Outlook | Colliers International
Conclusion and Outlook:
The industrial sector should register another year of strong
performance in 2015, boosted by encouraging outlooks for its
demand drivers. Interest rates and inflation remain benign in both
the U.S. and Canada, and the dollar has been strengthened by soft
global economic conditions. While economic conditions in Canada
are more muted, export-oriented sectors should see a boost from
strength in the U.S. Additionally, nonfarm payrolls are finally past
their prior peak, and growth is accelerating with a stabilizing labor
force participation rate. IHS Global Insight projects job growth
of 2.2% for 2015, the fastest rate since 2000, as state and local
government hiring finally recovers from austerity cutbacks. The
tightening of the labor market set against near-record corporate
profits should allow for meaningful and broad-based wage growth,
which has already begun. The recent wage increase announced
by Walmart augurs well for this trend. Higher wages, low gas
costs and the strong dollar should set the stage for a surge in both
consumption and imports. IHS projects that consumption growth
will accelerate from 2.4% in 2014 to 3.6% in 2015, while import
growth will jump from 4.0% to 6.1%. Under these conditions,
demand for industrial space should, by and large, be sufficient to
meet the growing volume of new supply, although the absorption-
to-new-supply ratio is likely to continue to fall this year, particularly
for secondary markets. The growing importance of e-commerce
should also provide a structural augmentation to cyclical demand
forces, especially in markets with port and rail access to major
population centers.
