Investor Demand Continues for Orange County Retail

by Jeff Shaw August 15, 2023

— By Gleb Lvovich, Managing Director, and Daniel Tyner, Senior Director, JLL Capital Markets — The commercial real estate market across all asset classes has seen a slowdown in transaction activity in 2023 compared to 2022 and 2021 largely due to the rapid increase in borrowing costs for investors. This might have impacted the commercial real estate sector as a whole, but shopping centers in Orange County are still buzzing with consumers as occupancy remains robust. Orange County has continuously proved to be one of the most sought-after markets to invest in retail due to its strong demographics, population growth and overall fundamentals. Investor Demand Shopping center performance in Orange County has been excellent over the past few years, and investors see this trend continuing for the foreseeable future. Low vacancy and strong tenant demand has allowed investors to experience significant rent growth at their properties. Orange County has experienced particularly strong grocer performance and expansion. Historically, shopping center transactions have been very limited in Orange County. This has further driven investor demand due to the lack of available investment opportunities. The few listings that exist generate significant interest. Recent examples include the sale of Ralph’s- and Rite Aid-anchored Brea …

Pavlov Media Delivers, Manages Optimal Wi-Fi Service for Multifamily Residents

by Sarah Daniels August 15, 2023

Day-to day life as a property manager in both a conventional multifamily building and student housing can be unpredictable. Hiring and staffing issues can plague many operators, resulting in the need to wear many different hats. These different hats can make it difficult for staff to fully address all of the residents’ needs. Managing a Wi-Fi system — perhaps the most crucial technology platform at any community — is one duty that the onsite team can happily offload to a third-party provider. Reliable Managed Wi-Fi Systems Roxann Campbell, vice president of regional sales at Pavlov Media, says today’s Internet-connected culture has increased the need for residents to have an absolutely reliable managed Wi-Fi system. Pavlov Media (which provides Wi-Fi & fiber services to multifamily and student properties) is an Internet service provider (ISP) that can establish connectivity throughout entire buildings while managing Internet for all of a property’s residents. This managed Wi-Fi approach benefits the buildings’ owner-operators because it offers a planned strategy for wiring and Wi-Fi signals. Routers aren’t competing against each other, as they can in communities that give their residents the option to sign up with any number of competing Internet providers. “Bulk managed Wi-Fi provides residents …
