CHICAGO — The road ahead will be bumpy for the U.S. office sector, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, says Cushman & Wakefield. The Chicago-based commercial real estate brokerage recently published Part III of a series of snapshots entitled “U.S. Office Sector: the Road Ahead in 2021,” which are focused on the economy and office trends. What follows is a synopsis of those predictions in the third segment. The path of the virus is central to the office sector recovery, asserts Cushman & Wakefield. As of early February, roughly 11 percent of the U.S. adult population has received at least one dose of the vaccine. Additionally, the seven-day moving average of vaccines being administered was trending up and the number of vaccinations was outpacing the number of new confirmed daily infections. Most baseline forecasts assume the vaccines will be widely distributed by mid-2021 in most advanced countries and in some emerging markets. In the U.S., it is currently assumed that full herd immunity will be reached by September or October of this year. Undoubtedly, the pandemic directly impacted office leasing fundamentals in 2020. In the U.S., there was 104 million square feet of negative absorption last …

by Katie Sloan
GLENDALE, ARIZ. — Mattress retailer Brooklyn Bedding has broken ground on a $72 million manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters nine miles outside Phoenix in Glendale. The 648,165-square-foot building will be located on 42.8 acres at the crossroads of West Bethany Home Road and 52nd Ave. The new manufacturing facility, set for delivery in December 2021, will give the company the capacity to triple its mattress production. Founded in 1995, Brooklyn Bedding claims to be a pioneer in the “bed-in-a-box movement,” selling its first roll-packed mattress product on Amazon in 2008. By 2015, Brooklyn Bedding had developed and constructed a 150,000-square-foot, full-scale factory in the Phoenix area. The company currently employs 250 and plans to add 150 employees upon the completion of its new facilities. Brydant Real Estate will spearhead development of the project, working alongside the development team of Alston Construction and the architectural team of Ware Malcomb. Brooklyn Bedding will continue operations at its manufacturing facility at 4455 West Camelback Road and its warehouse at 4524 North 44th Ave. in Phoenix until the new headquarters is delivered. — Katie Sloan
By Gabe Tovar, John Duvall and Kyle Tucker of NorthMarq The Kansas City multifamily market has proved it is more than resilient in the face of adversity. Throughout 2020, the market ranked consistently in the top 10 of 30 markets tracked by Yardi. It logged higher occupancies and rent growth, all while welcoming a record level of new supply. That stellar performance is likely to attract even more capital to the market in 2021. The story dominating the Kansas City market in recent years has been its booming development pipeline. Despite shutdowns and delays caused by the pandemic, developers delivered nearly 5,900 new units in 2020. That volume represents a record-high growth rate of 4.1 percent added to Kansas City’s market-rate inventory, compared with an annual average rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout the past decade. Looking ahead, that supply wave has crested, and the pipeline is shifting to the suburbs. NorthMarq forecasts completions over the next two years to average closer to 4,000 units with 70 to 75 percent of those opening across the suburban submarkets. In recent years, between 40 and 50 percent of total deliveries were concentrated in the urban core, so while this data supports …
