by Kristin Harlow December 15, 2021

LAS VEGAS — Hard Rock International has agreed to acquire the operations of The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for more than $1 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022. Hard Rock also revealed that it plans to build a guitar-shaped hotel, which will be located on the Las Vegas Strip. When complete, Hard Rock Las Vegas will be a fully integrated resort welcoming meetings, groups, tourists and casino guests across its nearly 80-acre location, according to Jim Allen, chairman of Hard Rock.

Just Like the Rest of the Country, Atlanta is Also Shattering Industrial Records

by John Nelson December 15, 2021

The Atlanta industrial market has been hot and setting records for quite some time now, and the third-quarter numbers for 2021 show that this trend is continuing as we are once again setting all-time record highs for activity, positive net absorption and new construction. Activity for the Atlanta industrial market for the third quarter alone was over 24.6 million square feet, which beat the previous record for a single quarter by over 4.1 million square feet. Adding the third-quarter numbers for activity to the previous three quarters, Atlanta has posted a new record high for a four-quarter period with over 82.2 million square feet of activity. This breaks the previous four-quarter record for activity by over 6.4 million square feet. It would certainly be logical to conclude that the net absorption numbers would be robust and positive as well for the same time periods, and you would be right. Atlanta set another record for positive net absorption with over 12.1 million square feet, which was over 2.8 million square feet higher than the previous record. When you add the third quarter numbers to the previous three quarters, you will see again a new record high for a four-quarter period with …

Houston Industrial Market Puts a Bow on a Record Year

by Taylor Williams December 15, 2021

By Zack Taylor, senior vice president, Colliers Houston’s industrial market continued to see strong leasing activity in the third quarter. Overall net absorption for 2021 should easily pass 20 million square feet, making it the best year on record by a long shot. For context, Houston’s industrial market has, on average, absorbed between 8 million and 11 million square feet of space per year since 2014. Houston’s North and Southwest submarkets absorbed the most space in the third quarter of this year, led by Lowe’s Home Improvement taking down 1.5 million square feet and Amazon taking 1.9 million square feet in each of those respective submarkets. Total marketwide leasing volume for the year is well over 30 million square feet and does not show any signs of stopping as we hit the midpoint of the fourth quarter. Direct vacancy is continuing its downward trend, but rental rates have largely remained the same on new product. Second-generation infill warehouses are experiencing the greatest increase in rents, especially for tenants with requirements between 20,000 and 50,000 square feet. Many of these tenants are faced with a dilemma: They can either accept higher rents for their infill locations or relocate to more expensive …
