Suburban Chicago Office Landlords Still Face Tough Times

by Kristin Harlow March 23, 2023

By Mark Kolar, Cresa There’s been a lot of news recently about the financial pressures facing suburban Chicago commercial office landlords who have financed their office buildings via commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) loans. While the financial challenges these buildings face continue to grab the headlines, there is a much less visible yet greater amount of privately funded commercial office landlords that could be facing dire financial changes over the next couple of years. These privately funded loans that originated through major banks and insurance companies are seeing just as much, if not more, stress than their CMBS counterparts. Collectively we’re seeing significant systemic issues for all Chicago commercial office landlords with no clear path to a solution in sight. In suburban Chicago, about 13 percent of commercial office loans are financed by CMBS loans with the majority of loan debt financed through local financial institutions, private investment funds and insurance companies. While details on these loans is not as readily available as their CMBS counterparts, many office landlords are confronting similar challenges. Both CMBS and privately funded commercial landlords and their lenders are facing a host of capital challenges that revolve around systemic changes in leasing activity, increasing costs of …

How a Fiber Provider to Multifamily Housing Is Diversifying the Technology Workforce

by Sarah Daniels March 23, 2023

It’s little wonder that the fiber optic business is booming. American appetites for high-speed, high-volume Internet connectivity have skyrocketed in recent years, making fiber essential to provide Internet service across commercial property types. Employment for the linemen who build out and maintain those networks will grow 6 percent between 2021 and 2031, while telecommunications equipment installation jobs in general will expand to an even greater 8 percent, according to projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Factor in the ongoing exodus of skilled workers from all trades as more of the nation’s Baby Boomers enter retirement, and many broadband providers may struggle to fill job openings in the coming years. That’s one of the reasons Pavlov Media, a Champaign, Ill.-based Internet service provider, is partnering with a Texas university to put students on career paths in fiber technology. Its partner in this endeavor, Prairie View A&M University, was founded in 1876 and is the second oldest public institution of higher education in Texas and one of the earliest 1890 Land Grant Institutions. Because it is a historically black institution, the program will be helping to address a longstanding need for greater diversity, equity and inclusiveness (DEI) in the technology sector. …

ExxonMobil Begins $2B Expansion of Petrochemical Refinery in Beaumont, Texas

by Taylor Williams March 22, 2023

BEAUMONT, TEXAS — ExxonMobil has begun the $2 billion expansion of its petrochemical refinery in the East Texas city of Beaumont. The initiative was launched in 2019 but subsequently paused and delayed due to COVID-19. The plant was originally built in 1903 along the banks of the Neches River and has grown to encompass more than 2,700 acres and include manufacturing and packaging operations that employ more than 2,000 people on a daily basis. The Beaumont refinery processes some 366,000 barrels of crude oil per day, and the company expects that the expansion will increase that figure by an additional 250,000 barrels per day.
