Cornerstone-Commerce-Park-San-Antonio

By Taylor Williams  The combination of dwindling vacancies and skyrocketing construction costs is beginning to have a marginally negative impact on the confidence that industrial brokers across major U.S. markets have in their chosen property type, according to the latest sentiment report from the Society of Industrial & Office Realtors (SIOR). For the first time in the report’s history, the average sentiment of industrial brokers that carry the designation, while still very bullish overall, dropped below eight on a scale of one to 10. Specifically, overall sentiment fell from 8.2 in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 7.7 in the first quarter of 2022. The report also identified an environment of rising interest rates as an additional detractor on industry sentiment, though that factor is not unique to the industrial sector. With industrial users heavily investing in their supply chains amid the pandemic and e-commerce boom, there’s simply very little Class A space to be had, especially within infill locations in core markets. Disruptions within those same supply chains have helped drive costs of construction materials and timelines for projects to way-above-average levels, putting further downward pressure on supply growth. As a result, overall industrial leasing activity has slowed. According …

Block-16-Austin

Interviews by Taylor Williams The office markets of the major Texas cities have always been birds of different feathers, built to accommodate drastically different types of users and disproportionately subject to broader swings in occupancy and rent growth. Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) remains the king of corporate relocations and regional consolidations, and the metroplex’s office market benefits from the highest degree of diversity among users, an attribute that has ushered it through the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the Houston office market, hobbled for years by its reliance on energy users, may finally be poised to see some growth in occupancy as prices of these commodities head for the moon. In Austin, the non-California tech capital of the country, the supply of office space is still playing catch-up to demand, as evidenced by the healthy rents these buildings have achieved during the state capital’s ascendance to major-market status. And San Antonio? Like most commercial asset classes in the Alamo City, the performance of the office sector is steady, offering neither the glamorous appeal of trophy buildings with marquee users that attract institutional investors nor the profound cyclical dips that scare them away. Yet after two years of prolonged disruption …
