Population Growth, Affordability Push Charlotte Office Market to New Heights

by John Nelson August 24, 2015

It’s no secret that the Sunbelt states have been, and continue to be, the front-runners for corporations looking to relocate to cities with a much lower cost of doing business. With each state taking different approaches, North Carolina does not often offer the relocation incentives that can be found in states such as South Carolina and Texas. Instead, North Carolina favors a system that offers less up-front cash incentives, but tries to offset that with a tax structure and business-friendly climate in an effort to compete for the large, attractive relocations. Because of this, the catalyst for growth in Charlotte has only been moderately associated with the recruitment of out-of-market users looking to relocate headquarters to more affordable and attractive markets. In large part, Charlotte’s growth has been driven by organic growth of existing businesses. In fact, more than 70 percent of the positive absorption in the central business district (CBD) since 2010 has occurred through organic growth. This expansion of existing business has provided for employment growth conditions that work hand-in-hand with the rapidly swelling population. In between new-to-market relocations that provide headline-grabbing bursts of employment, the diverse and impressive growth of Charlotte’s existing companies has attracted talent and …

United States’ 16th Largest City Continues Fast Growth Post-Recession

by Haisten Willis August 21, 2015

As the 16th largest city in the United States and one of the fastest growing metro markets, Fort Worth is consistently a hot market in Texas and hasn’t slowed down post-recession. The current retail market is showing a low vacancy rate of 6.5 percent along with increasing rental rates. Surprisingly, these rates have not slowed leasing activity. Instead, the combination of increasing rates and dwindling vacancies have spurred new development. In years past, Fort Worth has been seen as a secondary market to Dallas, but with its strong economy and high returns, the city is now able to stand on its own. Fort Worth is seeing a lot of capital being tossed around the market. With a strong economy and low operations costs, money is pouring in from all angles, including from out-of-state and international investors. California, New York and overseas investors are beginning to recognize the stability of the city and the potential for stronger returns, and are aggressively starting to pursue opportunities here. For example, Iowa-based Lockard Development is in the process of expanding its Walmart anchored Renaissance Square power center at Berry Street and Hwy 287 in East Fort Worth to include more national credit tenants.
