Buoyed by Industrial Sector, Market Confidence Improves Slightly Overall Among SIOR Survey Participants

by John Nelson June 15, 2020

The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) has released its second edition of the monthly SIOR Snapshot Sentiment Survey, and overall the association’s industrial specialists felt better about their market’s outlook than their counterparts in the office sector. Patrick Sentner, president-elect of SIOR and executive vice president of CBRE’s Pittsburgh office, says that the growth of e-commerce and the grocery sector during the pandemic are helping boost confidence among industrial brokers. “Certain industrial market segments have seen business increase steadily during the pandemic,” says Sentner. “As such, there has been some solid movement in the industrial sector during the past three months.” The newly created survey provides a snapshot of the industry during a time when the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly impacted the industrial and office sectors. The monthly survey posed three questions to its members, of which around 500 answered for the May edition. The first question asked the progress of transactions currently taking place. The second question asked respondents to rank their level of confidence six months from now for their local markets. The final question let participants write open-ended responses relating to trends and market changes affecting the industrial and office real estate sectors. Overall market …

NMHC Rent Tracker: 80.8 Percent of Apartment Households Paid June Rent

by Alex Tostado June 12, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) Rent Payment Tracker found that as of June 6, 80.8 percent of apartment households paid rent for the month of June. The Washington, D.C.-based organization reports that the June figure is a 0.6 percent increase over May 6, but it is a 0.7 percent decrease from this point in June 2019. Nearly 20 percent of households with at-risk wages in small multifamily apartments may have difficulty paying rent, according to a study published June 11 by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies. In addition, 32 percent of renter respondents to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey, conducted from May 28 to June 2, reported “no or slight confidence” in their ability to pay next month’s rent. “While our Rent Payment Tracker metric continues to show the resilience and strength of the professionally managed apartment industry, it does not necessarily tell the whole story, as it doesn’t capture rent payments for smaller landlords or for affordable and subsidized properties,” says Doug Bibby, president of NMHC. The organization surveyed apartment management companies responsible for 11.4 million units nationwide. There are 21.4 million apartments nationwide in buildings with more than five units, …

Lululemon Reopens 60 Percent of Stores, Reports 17 Percent Drop in Revenue in Latest Quarter

by Taylor Williams June 12, 2020

DOVER, DEL. — Lululemon (NASDAQ: LULU), a provider of athletic apparel that is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, but incorporated in Delaware, has now reopened 295 of its 489 stores, or roughly 60 percent of its worldwide locations. The company reported net revenue of $652 million in its fiscal first quarter, which ended May 3, compared with $785 million during the same period a year ago, a 17 percent decline. Lululemon closed all of its stores in mainland China following the outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequently shuttered its Europe and North America stores in March. The company noted that although it was forced to close all stores at some point, strong sales from its e-commerce platform helped to mitigate the decrease in revenue. Lululemon said in the filing that it would not provide financial projections for future quarters, but that it ended the first period with $823 million in cash, compared to $576 million in cash at the end of the first quarter of 2019. Lululemon’s stock price opened at $302.84 per share on Friday, June 12, up from $170.89 per share a year ago.

by Amy Works June 12, 2020

CHANDLER, ARIZ. — KeyBank Real Estate Capital (KBREC) has provided $25 million in fixed-rate, Fannie Mae financing for LEDG Capital, a real estate investment firm specializing in affordable housing throughout the country. The borrower will use loan proceeds to acquire and renovate Chandler Village Apartments, an affordable multifamily property in Chandler. Robbie Lynn of KBREC’s Commercial Mortgage Group and Steve Sparks of KBREC’s Community Development Lending team structured the financing, which features a 17-year term followed by a 35-year amortization schedule. Built in 1972 on eight acres, Chandler Village Apartments features 127 garden-style apartments spread across 11 two-story residential buildings with covered parking. The property was encumbered by a land use restriction agreement (LURA) that expired on Dec. 31, 2019. As part of the acquisition and renovation, the Arizona Department of Housing plans to grant 4 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and execute a new LURA that will continue to restrict all units to tenants earning no more than 50 percent of the area median income. The new LIHTC restrictions will apply for a 15-year compliance period and a 15-year extended-use plan, likely ending in 2050.
