The original developer, the DiGiovanni family, sold the market-rate community for $175 million.

The Office Sector Is Turning a Corner. What Is Fueling its Return?

by John Nelson

By Brett Reese of CP Group After several years of disruption, the office market is beginning to show meaningful signs of recovery. Market fundamentals are strengthening, sentiment is shifting and the data backs it up. Office sales totaled $64.3 billion last year, up nearly 21 percent from 2023, according to MSCI Real Assets. Net absorption also turned positive, with 6.5 million more square feet of U.S. office space leased than vacated, marking the most substantial annual gains since 2019.  Rent growth has been substantial across key markets, lenders are re-engaging and marquee transactions are driving capital back to the sector. These are the first broad signs that the innovative strategies employed by experienced owners and operators over the past five years are beginning to pay off.  Sun Belt momentum In Southeastern markets like South Florida and Atlanta, recovery outpaces national trends, driven by location, flexibility and amenitized space. Hard-learned lessons by tenants, lenders and landlords have reshaped the market. As the industry recalibrates, operators with conviction and capital can double down on what’s working. Debt is returning Perhaps the most significant harbinger of market recovery is the thawing of the debt markets. Just a year ago, lenders willing to underwrite …

Las Vegas Retail Outperforms National Trends

by John Nelson

— By Liz Claire of Avison Young —  The Las Vegas retail market continued its strong performance in fourth-quarter 2024. Vacancy rates declined to 5.3 percent, marking a 200-basis-point drop from the fourth quarter of 2020. Strong absorption rates and healthy rent increases highlight the market’s resilience, even as growth has moderated since its peak in first-quarter 2021. Vacancy Declines and Strong Absorption Las Vegas experienced a significant increase in positive retail space absorption in fourth-quarter 2024, following eight quarters of minimal movement, with a total of 619,000 square feet absorbed. This surge was primarily driven by major developments, including the completion of the 500,000-square-foot BLVD retail project, which saw strong pre-leasing activity from prominent tenants like Adidas, H&M, Lululemon and In-N-Out Burger. Sustained high demand lowered the vacancy rate by 40 basis points from the previous quarter, further solidifying Las Vegas as a leading retail market. Retail Rents and Growth Trends Market-wide retail asking rents averaged $35.20 per square foot, with rents outside the high-priced resort corridor averaging $29.08 per square foot. Year over year, rents increased by 5.8 percent, significantly outpacing the national average rent growth of 3 percent. This steady rent appreciation demonstrates continued demand for retail space in …
