EGA Spectro Alloys Begins Production at 90,000 SF Aluminum Recycling Facility in Minnesota

by Kristin Harlow July 10, 2025

ROSEMOUNT, MINN. — EGA Spectro Alloys, a Midwest-based producer of recycled aluminum alloys, has begun production at its aluminum recycling expansion project in Rosemount. The 90,000-square-foot facility will produce up to 120 million pounds per year of recycled aluminum billets from scrap aluminum. The expansion will add up to 50 full-time jobs once the facility reaches full production capacity in the first quarter of 2026. Aluminum billet, logs of aluminum up to 25 feet long, is used as raw material for extruders, which turn it into products like railings, window and door trim, and structural components for cars, boats, airplanes, trailers and docks. Recycling aluminum requires 95 percent less electricity than producing new aluminum and generates a fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions. Metal from the facility will be sold under EGA’s recycled product brand RevivAL, a nod to the company’s 52-year history of giving used aluminum new life. The facility also features a new laboratory.

Des Moines Industrial Market Starts to Chip Away at Vacancies

by Kristin Harlow July 10, 2025

By Harrison Kruse and Ned Turner, CBRE As we near the second half of 2025, the Des Moines industrial market is starting to see a shift in fundamentals, as new deliveries and the pipeline of new big-box speculative warehouse product have come to a complete halt. Like many cities in the upper Midwest post-COVID, the Des Moines MSA saw an influx of out-of-state developers backed by institutional capital go ground up with new big-box product when the economy was stimulated by the Federal Reserve reducing the federal funds rate below 1 percent. This resulted in historically compressed treasury yields and an abundant amount of liquidity injected into the capital markets. This effect on the national economy escalated consumer demand for e-commerce and locally, ag-related products, which are the state of Iowa’s most valuable export on an aggregate basis. The Des Moines MSA between 2021 and 2024 had more than 6.8 million square feet of new industrial space delivered to the market, which is about 10.2 percent of the total market size on a square-foot basis. During those years, net absorption increased on an annual basis between 800,000 and 1.5 million square feet. Pre-COVID, Des Moines’s average net absorption was between …

FRISCO, TEXAS — A partnership between Hunt Realty Investments and The Karahan Cos. has received a $425 million construction loan for Fields West, a 55-acre mixed-use project in Frisco, a northern suburb of Dallas. A consortium of Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase and Prosperity Bank provided the financing. Additionally, as part of the development agreement, the City of Frisco recently sold $70 million in municipal bonds as its contribution to the financing of Fields West. Fields West, which was announced in 2022 as a $2 billion development, will be an urban village within the 2,500-acre Fields master-planned community. Plans currently call for 350,000 square feet of shopping, dining and entertainment space and 325,000 square feet of Class A office space. Gensler is the master plan architect of the development. Construction of the retail, restaurant and entertainment space is now underway. The opening of this element of the project will be staggered between the third quarter of 2027 and into 2028.

Multifamily, Seniors Housing Sectors Remain Positive Real Estate Performers

by Sarah Daniels July 10, 2025

By Troy Marek, Regions Real Estate Capital Markets As we embark on the second half of 2025 amid some economic uncertainty, there are two bright spots within real estate. Both the multifamily and the seniors housing/healthcare sectors boast strong fundamentals and occupancies. RealPage data indicates 138,302 apartment units were absorbed in the first quarter, and NIC MAP data shows a seniors housing occupancy increase to 87.4 percent, or 621,000 occupied units over the same period. This suggests strong demand in both critical housing sectors, at the same time new supply is slowing. Interest Rates Drive Lending Activity Agencies Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and HUD remain the primary loan providers supporting these two asset classes today. Unsurprisingly, interest rates heavily impact lending activity. Since the Federal Reserve decided to hold rates steady in May, sector experts have been closely watching employment and inflation data, as well as tariff impacts, as all three have the power to influence the Fed to lower rates later this year. With the Federal Reserve deciding to hold rates as-is in June, industry players will continue to keep an eye on the data. Once rates are brought down some, perhaps later this year, multifamily and seniors housing/healthcare …
