by Taylor Williams December 16, 2019

SAN FRANCISCO — ING Capital LLC, an American subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (NYSE: ING), has provided a $402 million loan for the acquisition of Market Center, a 753,000-square-foot office complex in San Francisco. Market Center is a two-building, Class A asset located in San Francisco’s Financial District. The 22-story building at 555 Market St. was completed in 1964 and the 40-story building at 575 Market St. was completed in 1975.

New Orleans Office Sector is in Rightsizing Mode as Tenants Downsize Footprints

by Alex Tostado December 16, 2019

With the recent influx of young talent, combined with the area’s thriving economy and renowned vibrant culture, the Greater New Orleans region is poised for growth. Although the office market sector is slow to show any significant gains, this signifies a potential undervalued opportunity for users. The metro area has nearly 20 million square feet of office space, including over 11 million square feet of Class A space with a published occupancy rate exceeding 87 percent. The predominant trend is a rightsizing of the market, resulting in more downsizing than growth. On a macro level, the oil and gas industry is phasing out, which has historically been a prominent space user. The conversion of office space into alternate uses also continues, as well as a reduction in company footprints. The outlying suburban office market has seen the most growth, with East Metairie being one of the strongest submarkets in both occupancy and rental rates. With less product in the area, supply and demand are closer to equilibrium. New Orleans’ central business district (CBD) and downtown office submarkets are coasting along. Class A occupancy rates are slightly down from last year, but rents have inched up to high-teens and low-20s. The …

The Vegas commercial market is as strong as it’s ever been as we head into 2020. Delivery on new projects is up 800,000 square feet over 2018.
