Memphis Industrial Market Boom Continues After Record Year of Leasing, Sales

by John Nelson July 26, 2022

2021 was a banner year for the Memphis industrial market by virtually every measure. Leasing exceeded 32 million square feet, easily doubling the average of 12.8 million square feet per year; annual net absorption reached 12.7 million square feet, the highest ever recorded; 14.6 million square feet of inventory delivered to the market; rental rates reached historic highs; and investment volume topped $2.2 billion. The potent demand that carried the market to such record-setting extremes continued into the beginning of 2022, with leasing activity in the first quarter approaching 6 million square feet and net absorption surpassing 3.3 million square feet. Sustaining the steady upward trend the Memphis market has followed since the beginning of 2019, the direct vacancy rate rose 50 basis points from last year to 6.8 percent, but this increase is largely due to the profusion of spec product rather than any significant moves out of the market. In typical fashion, the bulk of leasing activity occurred in the Southeast, DeSoto County and Marshall/Fayette County submarkets, comprising more than 75 percent of the quarter’s total volume. But even the Northwest submarket has seen more action recently with the delivery of Amazon’s 181,500-square-foot last-mile facility in the Raleigh …

Universal Design Strategies Foster Intergenerational Living in Multifamily Communities

by Jeff Shaw July 26, 2022

By Carol Cole, director of interior design, DAHLIN Group Architecture AT Intergenerational households are growing at a faster pace than they were pre-pandemic. Generations United, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting intergenerational programs and policies, estimates that 66.7 million U.S. adults live in a multigenerational household, with nearly 57 percent of this statistic spurred by COVID. Even after the immediate impacts of the pandemic subside, intergenerational living will remain prevalent for a variety of reasons. These can range from the need for child and/or elder care to cultural expectations and economic-related factors, such as loss of a job, high educational expenses or housing availability. Considering this trend and recognizing that more than 16 million Americans are currently over the age of 65, the movement toward incorporating universal design strategies on residential projects is key for creating aesthetic living spaces that are usable by everyone to the greatest extent possible. Already a standard in the healthcare community, universal design is the design and composition of a space set up to meet the needs of all users, not as a special requirement to benefit only a small fraction of a population. The practice results in inclusive environments that support high-functioning, independent living for …

by John Nelson July 26, 2022

FRISCO, TEXAS — Crow Holdings Development (CHD), a Dallas-based real estate development firm and subsidiary of Crow Holdings, has released plans for The Offices at Southstone Yards, a mass timber office building in Frisco. The 235,000-square-foot property will anchor Southstone Yards, a 45-acre mixed-use development that will feature over 1 million square feet of office space at full buildout. In addition to offices, Southstone Yards will feature shops, restaurants, hotels, nine acres of green space, and more than 1,000 apartments and townhomes, including a five-story, 355-unit property that North Carolina-based LMC is developing. The Dallas Morning News reports that the mixed-use development is valued at $850 million. The seven-story office building represents the first mass timber office building in North Texas, according to CHD. Compared to common building materials like steel and concrete, developers are utilizing mass timber construction because they find it’s more sustainable, provides greater design flexibility, results in a lighter environmental footprint, offers higher thermal insulation and creates a warmer aesthetic. The Dallas Business Journal reports that The Offices at Southstone Yards will be among the largest mass timber office buildings in the United States at completion. The property will feature raised floors, which provides flexibility for …
