Marcus & Millichap Webcast Panelists Divided on Remote Work, United in Retail Outlook

by Jeff Shaw September 22, 2022

CALABASAS, CALIF. — While the widespread adoption of the hybrid work-from-home model resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is having a dampening effect on demand for office space, it also is proving to have a positive impact on certain segments of retail. Those were some of the key takeaways from a webcast hosted by Marcus & Millichap that featured Dr. Lawrence Summers, former secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, who offered his insights on timely commercial real estate issues and the near-term outlook for the U.S. economy. Moderated by Marcus & Millichap CEO Hessam Nadji on Tuesday, Sept. 13, other featured speakers during the hour-long webcast included Conor Flynn, CEO of Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE: KIM), and Swarup Katuri, managing partner at Brookfield Asset Management. The webinar, which was geared toward current and prospective investors in commercial real estate, attracted several thousand viewers, according to Marcus & Millichap, which is headquartered in Calabasas. “I think the sign is clear: Nobody is going to be going into the office more than they were before [the pandemic], and a lot of people are going to be going in less.

Minneapolis Suburbs Continue to Shine for Retail Real Estate

By Jesseka Doherty and Johnny Reimann, Mid-America Real Estate The fundamental strength of the metro Minneapolis economy is on full display in the suburban retail real estate market this summer, where space is tight, new supply is limited, rents are on the rise and construction costs continue to challenge tenants and landlords alike. The macroeconomic picture in the first half of the year was stunning, actually. For the second quarter that ended June 30, the unemployment rate was a remarkable sub-2 percent, which was even lower than the national level of about 4 percent, and consumer spending was robust. Urban submarkets have been more challenged, but even in the Minneapolis central business district, retail rents are holding up as the office market shows stability. Driving demand With work-from-home still a factor, remote employees who live in the suburbs often are more inclined to shop, dine and play close to home, which bodes well for retail in proximity. Across key trade areas, retailers and other tenants in regional and community centers are more in demand than ever. Submarkets faring well include Apple Valley, Burnsville, Coon Rapids, Eagan, Maple Grove, Roseville and Woodbury. The densification of the suburbs also is driving demand …
