IKEA

LEIDEN, NETHERLANDS — Ingka Group has announced plans to invest $2.2 billion over the course of the next three years on new IKEA retail locations and omnichannel growth across the United States. The Leiden, Netherlands-based company is the largest owner of IKEA stores globally, representing more than 90 percent of IKEA retail sales with more than 370 stores and 100 home décor planning studios open across 31 countries.  The initial phase of investment will include opening eight stores in IKEA’s traditional format and nine “Plan and Order” points, which are smaller stores dedicated to kitchen, bedroom and living room planning. Plan and Order is an extension of IKEA’s existing planning studio business and is a relatively new endeavor for the company, with only two locations currently open in England.

These stores will create over 2,000 jobs upon completion.  IKEA US, the American subsidiary of the retailer, has also announced new locations in San Francisco and Arlington, Va., that are set to open this summer.  The $2.2 billion investment …

Tax Efficient Investment Strategies Open New Opportunities Despite High Interest Rates Lund

The recent Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank collapses — and the takeover of First Republic Bank — have revived regulatory scrutiny on bank risk to a degree that is reminiscent of the financial crisis 15 years ago. Suddenly, it seems, everyone is concerned about the trillions of dollars in commercial real estate debt held at banks — and regional and community banks in particular — and whether it can be refinanced at higher interest rates as it matures over the next couple of years. The same holds for hundreds of billions of dollars of commercial mortgage-backed securities. The conditions are exacerbating a pullback in credit that started last year, which, along with the elevated interest rate environment, has depressed commercial real estate investment sales. In February, property sales dropped 51 percent, from $54.9 billion to $26.9 billion from a year earlier, according to MSCI Real Assets. Taken together, the wall of maturities, higher interest rates, bank collapses and a slumping economy have largely spooked the investment market, suggests Spencer Lund, chief investment officer with NAI Legacy in Minneapolis, Minn. (which also serves Chicago, Denver and Scottsdale, Ariz.) Still, it’s also the type of environment that breeds opportunity as prices …
