Austin Multifamily Market Continues Meteoric Rise as Investors Target Central Texas

by Taylor Williams August 20, 2021

By Andrew Dickson, managing director, Newmark Almost daily, Newmark’s Central Texas multifamily capital markets group speaks with investors looking to enter the Austin multifamily market. With headlines aplenty about corporate relocations to the city, investors are often looking to trade tax-burdensome environments for business-friendly ones like Texas. What is driving the interest, and what is it actually like buying multifamily assets in Central Texas today? Economic Synopsis According to data from Opportunity Austin, the economic initiative of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, more than 100 companies have made relocation or expansion announcements in Austin, resulting in over 15,000 jobs pledged through June 2021. Opportunity Austin tracked 22,114 new jobs announced in 2020 — a record-breaking year — and the city is presumably on its way to another record-setting year in 2021. It is worth noting that many of the jobs announced in 2019 and 2020 are still forthcoming. Like many industries, tech firms often cluster together. Whether relocation announcements are due to existing synergies with other firms or cost-reduction strategies, we anticipate the trend of tech or tech-adjacent companies moving to Central Texas to continue. Due to these local shifts, as well as macroeconomic housing impacts, the single-family housing …

WSJ Report: Amazon Plans New Department Store Chain

by Jeff Shaw August 19, 2021

SEATTLE — Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), the Seattle-based e-commerce giant, is planning to open a chain of department stores to boost its sales in clothing, household items, electronics and other areas. The news comes from a Wall Street Journal report citing “people familiar with the matter.” The first stores are expected to open in Ohio and California and, at around 30,000 square feet, will be smaller than a typical department store. “It is unclear what brands Amazon will offer in the stores, although the company’s private-label goods are expected to feature prominently,” the Journal reports. This is not Amazon’s first foray into brick-and-mortar retail, despite being perhaps the largest e-commerce disruptor of the sector. Amazon made big waves in 2017 by purchasing high-end grocery chain Whole Foods Market for nearly $14 billion. It has also, in recent years, experimented with concepts such as small-scale, checkout-free grocery stores.
