U.S. MarketBeats provide an overview of quarterly CRE activity and trends, a snapshot of current economic and capital market conditions as well as market-level statistics on key metrics.
The U.S. economy in 2016 was characterized by steady growth in the face of uncertainty. The year began with steep declines in global equity markets in response to concerns about a slowdown in China, the Europe replaced Asia as the focal point of global anxiety after the Brexit vote. In the fourth quarter, the U.S. unexpectedly elected Donald Trump as President. Despite uncertainty, the economy continued to add an average of 180,000 jobs per month during 2016.
The investment climate entering 2017 has shifted from last year, most markedly following the election of President Trump in November.
This event set in motion a rapid rise in interest rates, and opened numerous questions about what investors should expect in
fi scal, tax, monetary, trade, immigration and regulatory policies. Nonetheless, expectations of steady economic and employment
growth offer investors a positive outlook, particularly for offi ce assets, which have enjoyed six years of steady performance gains.
The economic cycle is now well into its seventh year of growth. During this time, more than 15 million jobs have been created and in
excess of 460 million square feet of offi ce space was absorbed. Though many believe that the longevity of the cycle alone predicts a
slowdown, few signs of a pending downturn are evident. Hiring remains sound, with employers adding between 2.0 million and 2.5
million jobs to the economy each year, while the unemployment rate has held steady in the sub-5.0 percent range. These trends will
bolster new demand for offi ce space during a period of subdued offi ce construction and will converge to sustain the downward trend
in offi ce vacancy rates. Suburban properties, often overlooked amid the intense focus on urban cores of recent years, continue to
record solid performance gains and offer investors enticing investment options.
The investment climate will remain vibrant as a confl uence of buyers seeking the stable returns of offi ce assets make acquisitions from
property owners ready to monetize recent performance gains. Liquidity in secondary and tertiary markets remains positive, with many
metros yet to recover prior pricing peaks. The dynamics point to an engaging year of investment activity with a wide range of buyers
and sellers repositioning portfolios as they recalibrate their strategies ahead of the anticipated changes the new president will bring.
Many unknowns assuredly await investors in the coming year, with prospects of steady economic growth offsetting a rising interest
rate environment, a potentially more aggressive Federal Reserve and a wide range of unexpected decisions coming from Capitol Hill.
We hope this report provides useful insights that will help our clients navigate the changing landscape. As you recalibrate your strategies, our investment professionals look forward to assisting you in meeting your goals.

The current crisis is unprecedented in the sense that it has seriously impacted the liquidity, solvency and viability of a large number of businesses, all at the same time. The only way out of this crisis is to inflate a colossal bubble in asset prices, which is equally unprecedented. A global bubble will inflate in healthcare sector. far bigger and durable than the dotcom and subprime bubbles, as it deals with human lives directly. The politicians, bankers, investors, policy makers, administrators, businessmen, consumers et. al. who have spent weeks locked down in their houses fearing for their lives while watching the death statistics on media, would readily accept the need for much higher investment and spending on healthcare. In that sense, this bubble will be far more tangible, believable, acceptable and inflatable.

Four months in, 2017 is shaping up to be a year of harvesting and replanting for the innovation economy.
The SVB Analytics team examined the private-company growth propelled by the large capital raises of 2014-15
and the subsequent plunge in large investments and exits in 2016. Given the activity we’ve seen in the first
quarter of 2017, we are forecasting significant harvesting of returns resulting from the last decade of sweeping
innovations.
Global equities hit another record high in December as global economic data remained robust, economic growth prospects kept being upgraded and financial conditions stayed accommodative.
With investor sentiment now showing signs of improvement after a challenging period in emerging markets, our sixth edition of the CSRI Emerging Consumer Survey provides investors timely insights with which to revisit the theme of a fast developing consumer culture shaped by technological innovation. The countries that top our ECS Scorecard are India, China and Saudi Arabia with a key demographic accent on the role of the youthful consumer.

5 predictions for commercial real estate, risk management and lending in 2018. Presented by Dianne Crocker, EDR Insight in her opening comments at the Environmental Bankers Association Conference in Long Beach, CA on January 15, 2018.
In our annual Calgary event, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, we presented Strategic Decisions for an Uncertain Future:
Mark Therriault, Nicola Wealth Financial Advisor and Partner, addresses several issues facing high net worth families:
• How will the Liberals’ tax changes affect financial planning for Canadians?
• How will inflated prices impact future returns?
• Are there best practices for navigating the current environment?
Rob Edel, Chief Investment Officer provides an investment roadmap for 2018:
• After a record-breaking period for the S&P 500, what signs might indicate an economic downturn?
• What current events could most affect the economy and investment strategy?
• What should one make of bitcoin, marijuana stocks, electric vehicles, and other hot topics for the upcoming year?
The world’s dominant commercial real estate markets have moved into 2014 in better shape than at any time since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009.
Capital markets are exhibiting remarkable strength and the disconnect, that has emerged over the past two years between a more cautious occupational market, is showing signs of narrowing.

Welcome to the Cushman & Wakefield Atlas Outlook 2016,
an update on the International Investment Atlas that reviews
how the market performed last year and, more particularly,
what we should anticipate for the year ahead.
We have examined a series of questions when approaching this publication: what are the key forces
driving and transforming the global market? Who will be the winners in this volatile environment?
How should a subsequent investment strategy be most advantageously aligned?
Of course, in a highly uncertain but fast changing world, the need for insightful research is
increased – but the task of delivering a robust and well-considered view is made more difficult. By
bringing together expert opinion from across our capital markets, occupier and research teams
around the world, we have sought to answer this challenge and hope you agree we have delivered a
concise but thoughtful review of the state of the market and the outlook for the year ahead.
Naturally, any research can only be enhanced by further industry insight. To help us continuously
improve our Atlas Outlook, we would value your thoughts, comments or suggestions. Feel free to
share these via our Cushman & Wakefield social media
channels or by contacting our capital markets or research teams directly.

Market Activity and Opportunity Major Companies
• Apple recently leased newly developed 217,000 and
350,000 sqft office developments in Austin
• In 2015, Austin had the second highest absorption rate
in the United States, while ranking third in
construction deliveries
• High level of education and nearby universities make
Austin a low cost, high startup opportunity for tech
• As the CBD becomes increasingly occupied and
demand continues to grow, tenants will search for
space in the emerging Northwest Austin market
Constantly growing demand and absorption is
signaling a disconnect between supply and demand
where new value can be found

In short, as long as the United
States continues to see steady
employment growth the
multifamily market will continue
to be a smart investment. While some
markets are showing signs of hyper-
supply, the vast majority of U.S. markets are in the
expansion phase. In particular, markets with a strong
presence of millennials and young professionals hold many
years worth of promise for the multifamily segment. Other
top factors influencing multifamily cap rates, in addition
to a millennial presence, are a market’s specific
supply/demand interplay and future job prospects.
