Industrial Construction Activity Remains Robust in Greater Richmond Area

by Alex Tostado September 23, 2019

At the mid-year mark, the greater Richmond area industrial market has continued to strengthen, closing with an overall occupancy rate of 91 percent in the categories being tracked (Class A, B, C vacant and investor-owned product with a minimum of 40,000 square feet total RBA). Class A occupancy increased slightly from 89 percent at the end of the first quarter to 91 percent at the end of the second quarter, and the majority of the Class A vacancy is attributed to a vacancy approaching 800,000 square feet in the former Ace Hardware facility in Prince George’s County. Ashley Capital purchased the property in early July for $21.7 million and will be offering the facility for lease. Class B occupancy has also experienced an increase to 92 percent, up from 89 percent at the end of the first quarter. CoStar Group reports overall industrial occupancy at 96 percent for product of all sizes, including investor-owned facilities, but excluding flex space (minimum 50 percent office). Richmond’s strategic Mid-Atlantic location along Interstate 95 provides access to 55 percent of the nation’s consumers within two days’ delivery by truck.

All Signs Point to a Comeback for San Diego Apartment Investment Sales in 2019-2020

by Taylor Williams September 21, 2019

While Proposition 10 — California’s proposal to strengthen rent control — was defeated last November, it somewhat stifled the multifamily investment sector in San Diego as investors worked to figure out the next wave of opportunity. But now that market is starting to bounce back. Total multifamily sales volume in 2018 was just under $2 billion. However, several signs pointed to a resilient San Diego market, including cap rates holding steady at 4.6 percent and an increase in pricing. The tides have begun to turn in the past few months, with numerous apartment deals on the market — more than we’ve seen at one time in the past few years. This is especially true in Downtown San Diego where a significant number of new merchant-built deals are expected to come to market, continuing throughout the year. These are luxury complexes, with some expected to fetch as much as $600,000 per unit. Six conventional multifamily sales (with at least 100 units) closed in the first half of this year, totaling $550 million. This is an increase over the four sales totaling $372.5 million in the first half of 2018. The median price per unit through mid-year was $258,200, although roughly one-quarter …

by Alex Patton September 20, 2019

ANN ARBOR, MICH. — Michigan Medicine, a health and hospital system affiliated with the University of Michigan, has announced plans to develop a new adult hospital and surgical care facility near the university in Ann Arbor. Construction of the $920 million project will begin in October, with completion slated for fall 2024. The 690,000-square-foot facility will offer state-of-the-art neurological and neurosurgical care, as well as acute cardiovascular services. Michigan Medicine cites a high demand for acute care and more private rooms as primary reasons for the construction, as well as its current facilities frequently operating at capacity. “We are proud to be at the forefront of innovation with a new hospital that will support the extraordinary work of our faculty, nurses and other providers and our research community,” says Marschall Runge, executive vice president of medical affairs for University of Michigan, dean of the medical school and CEO of Michigan Medicine. “It’s an investment in Michigan Medicine’s mission of advancing health to serve Michigan and the world.” Across 12 floors, the new hospital will house 264 private rooms, 20 operating rooms and three interventional radiology suites.
