InterFace Panel: Technology Can Optimize Multifamily Lease Renewals

by Taylor Williams October 4, 2018

DALLAS — Multifamily development in the United States has been on a tear over the last five years, increasing competition for renters and making lease renewal rates a casualty of war. According to an August report from rentcafe.com, American multifamily developers delivered about 318,000 new units in 2017, more than double the deliveries from five years earlier. New multifamily construction between 2014 and 2016 averaged about 275,000 new units per year. That’s more than double the yearly average of 136,000 units per year that were delivered during the down years of 2011 through 2013. In addition, according to the National Apartment Association (NAA), the U.S. will need to add about 4.6 million new units by 2030 to keep up with demand. In most urban markets, this pace of development has either led to concessions or discounts on rent. This problem is compounded by the fact that in high-growth markets, renters usually have access to newer, competing multifamily product within a few miles. So long as they’re willing to move, renters can in theory receive new rounds of concessions from year to year. To recoup income lost from concessions, as well as to post strong occupancies if a property is put …

Infrastructure Investments Spur Industrial Development in Chicago Market

by Kristin Harlow October 4, 2018

There is no question that all signs are pointing in the right direction for the nation’s second-largest industrial market. Midway through the year, the vacancy rate has stabilized below 7 percent for the first time in over a decade. On top of that, quarterly deliveries totaled 4.5 million square feet, of which 3.9 million square feet was speculative. In the second quarter, 7.9 million square feet was absorbed. So what’s next for Chicago’s industrial occupiers? Luckily there are two seasons in Chicago, winter and construction. With that, state and federal agencies are collaborating on massive transportation infrastructure improvements, and funds continue to flow to improve and expand our region’s road and rail infrastructure. In addition, the Illinois Tollway has been proactively deploying capital for projects. As a result, industrial occupiers are benefitting from an enhanced flow of goods and more efficient distribution, while the industrial development community has responded with new speculative and build-to-suit projects in key areas to take advantage of these transportation improvements. I-57 Corridor Before 2014, there wasn’t a full four-way interchange at I-57 and I-294, which represented one of the few rare nodes in the nation where two interstates crossed paths but did not allow a …
