InvenTrust Acquires Two Grocery-Anchored Shopping Centers in Texas, Maryland for $123M

by Taylor Williams

FRISCO, TEXAS AND ROCKVILLE, MD. — InvenTrust Properties Corp., an Illinois-based shopping center REIT, has acquired two grocery-anchored properties in Texas and Maryland for $123 million. Eldorado Marketplace is a 186,068-square-foot property in Frisco, a northern suburb of Dallas, and Travilah Square is a 56,220-square-foot center in Rockville, a suburb of Washington D.C. The properties fetched sales prices of $71 million and $52 million, respectively. Market Street serves as the anchor tenant for Eldorado Marketplace, which also houses tenants such as AT&T, Jersey Mike’s, PetSmart and UPS. Trader Joe’s anchors Travilah Square, which houses tenants such as TITLE Boxing and Tropical Smoothie. InvenTrust officials cited Frisco’s emergence as a hub for corporate relocations, specifically the PGA and Keurig Dr. Pepper, as a key factor in the acquisition of Eldorado Marketplace. InvenTrust pointed to growing household income and steady population growth as the drivers behind the purchase of Travilah Square. The basic need to deploy capital before year’s end also played into the equation, says Christy David, executive vice president of InvenTrust. “InvenTrust has now acquired over $400 million of high-quality, grocery-anchored centers in key growth markets year-to-date. We remain on track to hit the company’s acquisition goals for 2019, and …

InterFace Panel: Fickle Nature of Renter Tastes Creates Challenges for Multifamily Architects, Contractors

by Taylor Williams

DALLAS — Multifamily projects are becoming more costly and time-consuming to complete, and the need to cultivate a unique amenity package that differentiates a property from the competition is contributing to inflated budgets and lengthier timelines. As noted by a panel of multifamily architects and construction managers at the InterFace Multifamily Texas on Sept. 5, the definition of what constitutes an ideal amenity package is in a constant state of flux. The event, held at the Westin Galleria hotel in Dallas, drew more than 225 attendees. The complications of designing and building multifamily communities are challenging and costly enough. That the amenities are subject to ever-changing consumer tastes adds another layer of complexity to maintaining project costs and schedules. Yet curating the right mix is a critical part of product differentiation in saturated markets. Many amenities found in new properties reflect broader changes in consumer behavior, which is fickle by definition. Features such as Amazon package lockers, rideshare lounges, electric car charging stations and coworking office space exemplify how changes in the ways people shop, travel and work are trickling down to the design and construction of apartment communities. “In our world, projects are increasingly complex,” said moderator Spencer Stuart, …

Land Scarcity in Baltimore Driving More ‘Smart Growth’ for Industrial Sector

by Alex Tostado

Continuing a trend that started approximately 10 years ago, the Central Maryland region remains an extremely attractive area for warehouse and industrial development with vacancy rates hovering in the 7 percent range, more than 3 million square feet currently underway and an additional 5 million square feet of space expected to break ground over the next 18 months. But new challenges are also starting to emerge in this marketplace, driven by barriers-to-entry such as land scarcity and increased government regulations. On the positive side, rental rates continue to inch upwards and end-user requirements in the 30,000- to 100,000-square-foot range, long the bread and butter of this region, have returned. Over the past decade, numerous local and national developers have been enjoying the high life in the Interstate 95 corridor spanning from Harford County north of Baltimore City, through Howard County and touching Prince George’s County, which is considered a suburb of Washington, D.C. A who’s who of retail royalty have signed substantial leases such as Amazon, Best Buy, FedEx, Floor & Décor, The Container Store, The Home Depot, Pier 1 Imports, Sephora Cosmetics, XPO Logistics and Under Armour. While many touched 1 million square feet of space, what previously was …

San Diego’s Multifamily Market Outpaces Its 2018 Performance

by Taylor Williams

San Diego continues to exhibit very strong fundamentals with a healthy and diversified economy, as well as a continued shortage of housing supply. The unemployment rate of 3.3 percent is below both the California and national unemployment rate. Tourism, biotech, healthcare, education, military/defense, drone manufacturing, business services, software and other high-tech industries have made San Diego a magnet for venture capital and other business investment, creating the jobs of the future. Amazon, Apple and several other high-profile technology companies have also announced expansions in San Diego. The region attracted $744 million in venture capital this past year alone. Local housing policies, which have been unfriendly to new development, have made it very expensive to build, thereby perpetuating the shortage of housing. This dynamic has continued to bode well for multifamily investment in the region. CBRE’s Apartment Market Report for the end of the second quarter illustrates the following year-on-year changes from 2018: • The vacancy rate moved 9 basis points to 3.6 percent • Rental rates increased by 2.9 percent • New construction deliveries dropped by 14 percent • Sales volume included 95 transactions with a total dollar volume of $476 million (compared to 32 sales transactions last year that …
