Cincinnati Industrial Market Is Positioned for Even More Growth

by Kristin Harlow August 12, 2021

By Jeff Bender, Cushman & Wakefield Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky have the same logistical advantages they’ve always had, with their location within a day’s drive of two-thirds of the U.S. population, allowing reach and penetration to major metro areas. With those advantages, the region has enjoyed a robust industrial market, similar to most key markets in the country. Lessons learned from the pandemic, the pending opening of a nearly 1 million-square-foot e-commerce national air hub and growth of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG) will truly differentiate the market from an occupier’s perspective. What’s more, that increased demand and Cincinnati’s topographical constraints, creating new supply limitations, will continue to make it a darling of institutional investors. Quick delivery model Amazon’s presence and $1.5 billion investment near the airport and Cincinnati’s central location place it in a prime spot for fulfillment, a big demand driver over the next decade. For example, let’s say you need to buy or repair a laptop, smart phone, tablet or any other electronic device. The order for a new computer could be fulfilled the next day most anywhere in the world even if the order is placed late in the evening. With a repair, you box it …

by Katie Sloan August 12, 2021

CHICAGO — JLL Income Property Trust has acquired a 47 percent interest in a single-family rental portfolio assembled and managed by Amherst Residential for $560 million. The 4,000-home portfolio is valued in total at $1.2 billion. Properties within the portfolio are located in 14 major markets across 10 states, with nearly 80 percent located in Atlanta; Dallas; Nashville, Tenn.; Charlotte, N.C.; and Tampa, Fla. The portfolio is currently over 96 percent leased and is occupied with no displacement anticipated as a result of the transaction. “LaSalle’s Research & Strategy team has identified single-family rentals as a ‘near-core’ property sector poised for accelerating institutional capital inflows, along with an attractive risk-adjusted return profile,” says Allan Swaringen, president and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. “Given the superior long-term tenant demand growth outlook, our research projects long-term expected rent and NOI growth above all other institutional property type averages,” he continues. JLL’s investment was funded with $205 million in equity and the assumption of its proportionate share of an existing in-place financing — a $761 million securitized loan. The debt, which features interest-only payments, has a fixed interest rate of 2.1 percent and matures at the end of 2025. At the current …

Design of Active Adult Properties Must Appeal to Multiple Generations, Say InterFace Panelists

by Taylor Williams August 12, 2021

By Taylor Williams As a concept, the term “active adult” supports the notion that age is just a number. As an evolving subcategory of seniors housing, active adult is a property type that means different things to different people. For that reason, designers and builders of this asset class face the unique challenge of visualizing and delivering communities that appeal to a broad range of renter profiles. Effective, consistent branding is one of the biggest challenges within the active adult sector, which is very much in its infancy relative to other commercial property types. As such, it’s critical that these properties, from their ambiances to their amenity packages, have a sense of versatility, a feel of a community in which 30- and 60-year-olds would feel equally at home. The ways and means through which that wide-ranging appeal can be achieved accounted for much of the discussion among a panel of architects, designers and a builder who spoke at the inaugural InterFace Active Adult conference on Aug. 4. Held at the Westin Galleria hotel in Dallas and hosted by Seniors Housing Business and the InterFace Conference Group, two business units of Atlanta-based France Media, the event drew more than 300 attendees …

Walker & Dunlop: Excess Capital Makes for Competitive Lending Environment

by Sarah Daniels August 11, 2021

The third quarter of 2020 was the beginning of a significant rebound for capital markets in commercial real estate. After banks and other lenders slowed their activity during the pandemic, lenders and equity investors regained their momentum — particularly in multifamily and industrial — a trend that has continued through the third quarter of 2021. It’s a good time to be a borrower, explains Mark Strauss, managing director of capital markets, and Rob Quarton, senior director of capital markets, with Walker & Dunlop’s Irvine, California, office. Vigorous Lending Markets Currently, Quarton explains, “Banks are really competitive. Debt funds are also aggressive — their funding mechanisms, like collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), have come back strong. Further, insurance companies are under allocated to real estate, which increases their annual volume targets and desire to win more business. Consumers have been purchasing more life insurance policies and insurance in general post pandemic, which provides dry powder for insurance companies to invest. In general, lending markets are very robust today, with ample options for lenders up and down the capital stack.” “Lenders have yearly production quotas, and I don’t think any of them hit their quotas last year,” adds Strauss. “This caused an overhang of …
