by John Nelson January 30, 2024

ROWLETT, TEXAS — Jackson-Shaw, a national real estate development firm based in North Texas, plans to develop Lakeview Business District, an industrial park in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex city of Rowlett. The development will feature seven buildings spanning more than 1.8 million square feet at full build-out. Jackson-Shaw plans to develop Lakeview Business District in two phases. Situated near I-30 in Rowlett’s North Shore area, the park will span 165 acres along President George Bush Turnpike, with one phase situated at the Merritt Road intersection and the other at Liberty Grove Road. “Lakeview is a prime location in the middle of the nation’s fastest-growing counties and adjacent to the Garland labor pool,” says Miles Terry, vice president of development at Jackson-Shaw. “Combined with strong market fundamentals and a need for product in this area, Lakeview is poised to become a major economic hub.” Phase I will consist of five buildings totaling more than 1 million square feet of Class A industrial space, with a mix of front- and rear-load facilities, as well as cross-docks.

Property Owners Recalibrate Expectations Following Financing Challenge, Shifting Vacancy Rates

by Sarah Daniels January 30, 2024

High costs, modulating occupancies and a lack of financing options reshaped the industrial, office, retail and multifamily sectors in the fourth quarter of 2023, signaling the determining factors for 2024, according to Lee & Associates’ 2023 Q4 North America Market Report. The industrial sector saw stabilizing tenant demand — the number of new buildings delivered increased in the fourth quarter, while new construction starts slowed. Meanwhile, the office sector’s struggles deepened as more than half of the office leases signed pre-2020 approach their expiration by 2026. With low-rate loans maturing into a high-rate environment, the factors troubling the office sector seem insurmountable in this decade. In the retail market, low vacancies did not lead to booming construction in that sector in the last quarter of 2023 — financing costs plus land and labor costs have hampered new development in spite of high demand. Finally, the health of multifamily markets is tied closely to geography. Sun Belt multifamily properties and their Midwest and Northeastern market counterparts are seeing reversals from the multifamily trends of 2021: formerly fast-growing Sun Belt markets are experiencing slowed rent growth or rent decline, while rent growth for slower-growing, major North and Midwestern metros has grown steadily.
