Morales Capital Group Plans Redevelopment of 2.3 MSF Former Compaq Campus in Houston

by Jeff Shaw March 1, 2024

HOUSTON — Morales Capital Group, an affiliate of Mexcor International, has unveiled redevelopment plans for Viva Center, a 2.3 million-square-foot office and warehouse complex on a 66-acre site in Houston. The developer plans to revitalize the facility to support the research and development of liquid-cooled IT equipment for supercomputing. Eduardo Morales, CEO of Mexcor International and Morales Capital Group, says he envisions the newly rebranded Viva Center as “a transformative tech hub that seamlessly blends Houston’s rich history with futuristic innovations. With a focus on integrating cutting-edge infrastructure and next-gen application platforms, Viva Center aims to lead the charge in shaping Houston’s technological landscape for years to come.” Morales bought the property in 2022. The asset is part of a larger, sprawling, 300-acre campus that once served as the headquarters of Compaq, which was the largest home computer manufacturer of the 1990s. Fellow tech giant Hewlett-Packard bought Compaq in 2002 and has gradually sold off pieces of the campus, finally leaving the site entirely for a newly built, smaller building in the suburbs in 2022. For example, in 2009, Lone Star College purchased 1.2 million square feet of the property and turned it into a branch of the college. VivaVerse Solutions LLC will lead …

The Infinite Potential of Nearshoring in Phoenix

by Jeff Shaw March 1, 2024

— By Anthony Lydon, Executive Managing Director, JLL — At $403 billion in annual gross domestic product, Arizona is now the nation’s 18th largest GDP economy, recently passing Minnesota and Indiana. With its expected growth over the next 24 months, the state is on track to become the nation’s 16th largest GDP economy, surpassing Tennessee and Maryland. Like a shortlist of other fortunate U.S. markets, Arizona can credit a portion of this growth to its thriving logistics sector. The potential that industrial real estate offers for nearshoring — that commanding force with the power to rapidly diversify and expand a local economy. In Arizona alone, every $1 spent in the logistics industry has a $2 to $2.50 “multiplier effect” in the categories of earnings, revenue and jobs. The ability to capture that growth has been transformed in recent years by the CHIPS Act. This has provided, among other things, a 25 percent tax credit for investing in facilities that manufacture semiconductors or related manufacturing equipment. The Inflation Reduction Act has also provided more than $270 million in tax credits for clean energy projects involving solar, wind, hydrogen, carbon sequestration and EV charging. These programs played a role in attracting TSMC, …

How Multifamily Owners Can Strike A Balance Between Technology Use, Human Connection

by Taylor Williams March 1, 2024

By Heather Drennan, senior director of talent development, and Kory Nelson, marketing director, of Birge & Held The use of proptech is a factor that is sure to come up regularly in conversations among executive teams, regional vice presidents and local property teams, simply because the capabilities of modern technology and innovations are endless. For example, consider this article by Fast Company, a publication at the forefront of technology, innovation and leadership. The article cites how the implementation of proptech can have an all-encompassing, positive effect at the resident, community, societal and even environmental level. From innovations that reimagine the way residents tour an apartment complex and gain access to their units to those that redefine how property management and maintenance teams complete trainings and respond to residents’ requests, it’s clear that technologies bolstering automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are here to stay. But that’s not to say there isn’t any pushback. The multifamily space is rooted in relationships that are essential to building and maintaining community, and for many renters, the presence of a human connection remains key. This poses a clear dilemma — how should multifamily owners and operators strike a balance between reaping the benefits of proptech …
