Agility is the key to mitigating uncertainty
Agile by market – e-commerce is not the biggest disruptor, demographics is. Tech has made retail easier, cheaper, faster, but has not changed how people like to make shopping decisions in-store
Agile by asset type – golden area of industrial now expanding into smaller, last-mile facilities near high-density urban centers. Strategic location, hybrid-type facilities, strategically located
Agile by structure – length of leases, options to expand or contract, availability of talent
Large amount of new supply slated for completion in downtown markets, downtown vacancy rate will increase more (60bps) vs. suburban vacancy rate (10bps) increase.
Pg 21 – 86% of respondents to CBRE’s 2017 Americas Occupier Survey are either reinventing or adapting workspace standards to meet employee demand for more amenity-focused, flexible, and technology-driven environments

Warehousing as this cycles hallmark: 30 consecutive quarters of positive net absorption, lowest availability since 2001, and 24 consecutive quarters of rent growth through Q3 2017.

E-commerce growth of 10% annually, to top $500B by 2020
Watch out for multi-story warehousing to start catching on in the US, particularly in key markets
Performance gap b/w well located/prime assets vs. non prime (B markets and below) is expected to widen – repurposing opportunities for investors
Discount/off price retail
Atlanta, Houston, Nashville, Denver expecting rent growth in excess of 2.5% per year over next 5 years
Starts expected to continue slowdown following second-highest annual completions count of this cycle
As of Dec. 2017, approx. ¼ of all units under construction in US markets are in urban areas
Migration Factors
Push Factors: drive certain demographics out of bigger markets (cost of living/affordability)
Pull Factors: drive certain inward from around the country (knowledge hubs: employment in high-skill industries and strong academic presence) – Austin, Nashville, Denver
Secondary markets located near major markets (diverse workforce/labor pools, favorable costs of living)
Emerging low cost urban hubs (Dallas & Atlanta)
Commercial mortgage backed securitization
Isaiah will need to spend some time here educating…lot of skepticism just around the words “mortgage backed securities”
Absolutely can talk to your specialty in net leases, however, focus should be on general CRE space and conventional bank-financing (if possible)
