JURUPA VALLEY, CALIF. — A joint venture between CT Realty and PGIM Real Estate has broken ground on Agua Mansa Commerce Park in Jurupa Valley, a city within greater Los Angeles’ Inland Empire West submarket. The logistics hub is fully entitled for 4.4 million square feet of industrial space. Newport Beach, Calif.-based CT Realty has undergone predevelopment on the 206-acre industrial park and plans to begin site work immediately. Newark, N.J.-based PGIM has invested in the development on behalf of institutional investors in its U.S. core plus equity fund. Agua Mansa Commerce Park will feature three buildings spanning over 1 million square feet each. The larger buildings will have a cross-dock design with 40-foot clear heights, which are ideally suited for e-commerce users. E-commerce sales have spiked during the coronavirus pandemic and are estimated to grow by 18 percent this year, the highest year-over-year increase on record, according to eMarketer. The Inland Empire’s network of rail systems and highways, as well as its proximity to the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach, provides tenants with access to 25 million people throughout Southern California.

Healthcare has very different drivers when it comes to growth and demand. While highs and lows in the economy influence healthcare in many of the same ways other industries experience, it’s also governed by trends that are unique to how people seek — and pay for — their medical treatments. Chris Jacobson and Susan Wilson, both vice presidents and healthcare advisors for Lee & Associates Commercial Real Estate Services, took some time recently to talk to REBusinessOnline about today’s healthcare real estate trends. Taking a broad look across the sector, some healthcare systems have lost revenue due to suspending elective procedures during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s going to take them a while to recoup that revenue,” Wilson says. “Additionally, now that they have reopened, they are spacing people out in waiting rooms, so they’re seeing fewer patients. There are currently opportunities for subleases with some major health systems. This could be an opportunity for some of the larger, more successful health systems to take over some of that space.” Jacobson has observed that there are three types of investments occurring right now. The first of those are large healthcare systems presently focused on COVID-19-related care. The …

By Jeff Forsberg, Principal, NAI Puget Sound Properties It has been interesting, to say the least, since our governor issued the stay-at-home order on March 23 and we all started contemplating a future where we’d never have to get out of our pajamas. Though our market’s industrial sector isn’t immune to disruptions, the immediate fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic is not quite as dire as some might have projected. The Seattle industrial market comprises about 223 million square feet. This essentially covers the area between the two major ports (Seattle and Tacoma) in our region. Bolstered by large lease transactions with PCC Logistics (400,000 square feet), Darigold (284,067 square feet), Scotts (245,185 square feet), Ikea (200,000 square feet), Infinity Global Express (203,505 square feet) and Filson (126,028 square feet), our market posted respectable second-quarter lease stats. The current vacancy rate hovers at 5.05 percent, which is great for any market but slightly above average on what we have seen here over the past 10 years. The average monthly shell rate has remained flat at $0.659 per square foot, but apart from a few subleases, we haven’t seen a dramatic reduction in rent. Driving most of these trends is the rising …
