By Taylor Williams “Negative leverage.” At face value, the term has an undeniably ominous connotation. The first half is an umbrella word for all things adverse and pessimistic, while the second evokes a sense of financial helplessness and dependency, of being permanently hamstrung by creditors. Yet in the context of industrial investment in major markets throughout the Northeast, the term is more synonymous with flexibility and acceptance, as it represents a framework through which deals continue to get done despite the very dicey conditions of the U.S. capital markets. Since the Federal Reserve began aggressively raising the federal funds rates this spring to combat severe inflation, all commercial property types have been hit with softening buyer demand and, consequently, price declines. At the time of this writing, the nation’s central bank had a target range of 3 to 3.25 percent for short-term interest rates, nearly 300 basis points above its stated goal at the beginning of the year.

HOUSTON — Locally based investment and development firm Midway has unveiled plans for Watermark District at Woodcreek, a 70-acre mixed-use development that will be located at the site of the former ConocoPhillips headquarters campus in West Houston. Once completed, Watermark will house 650,000 square feet of Class A office space, with a focus on natural light and flexible floor plans.

Construction is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2023. Midway also intends to repurpose a portion of the site’s existing infrastructure, which includes 16 three-story office pavilions connected by bridges over ponds and grassy areas.

Wastewater, along with food wastes, will be processed and recovered as clean water, energy and minerals. Plans for infrastructural upgrades also include a new urban grid system.

What was once a vacant landscape has undergone a modern-day renaissance, transforming into a thriving, energetic hub infused with dynamic retail, local chef-driven eateries and desirable living and working environments. Tampa has evolved into a top “a place to see” and “place to be” for both out-of-state guests and residents alike. What is one the main driving forces behind this urban revitalization? The rise of high-density mixed-use developments and lifestyle centers that create central spaces for people to live, work, play, shop, dine and explore new experiences. Recently, Florida has benefited from a massive influx of residents and development activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Varying demographics and age groups flocked to the Sunshine State in search of more space, agreeable weather and an expedient reopening as far as retail, restaurant and entertainment. Along with the mass of new residents, Tampa quickly rose to become the second most popular city in the country for prospective homebuyers, reflecting a new interest to settle down in the area. The retail sector also boomed state-wide, but specifically in Tampa, with retail rents growing 7.8 percent over the last 12 months and ranking among the top 10 fastest growing markets, according to …
