by Jeff Shaw

INGLEWOOD, CALIF. — A public-private partnership between Murphy’s Bowl LLC and the City of Inglewood has opened Intuit Dome, a 915,000-square-foot events arena in Inglewood that will be the home of the National Basketball Association’s LA Clippers. Former Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer owns the team. Intuit Dome is situated on a 28-acre site between Prairie Avenue and Century Boulevard and near SoFi Stadium, the new home arena for the Los Angeles Rams football team. The arena will host home games for the Clippers, as well as sporting events not involving the Clippers, family shows, concerts, conventions and corporate events. The arena opened yesterday with a concert from Grammy award winner Bruno Mars. The Clippers have been headquartered at the Staples Center in Los Angeles since 1999.

Challenges, Opportunities Abound in Addressing US Affordable Housing Crisis

by Taylor Williams

By Derrick Barker, founder and CEO, Nectar Many founders and CEOs in commercial real estate have seen their fair share of market cycles. Analyzing today’s affordable housing crisis within the current multifamily rental market lends itself to sharing personal insights and most importantly, discussing how we can address these challenges head-on. A Cautionary Tale from 2013 Consider this personal story as anecdotal evidence. In 2013, this writer, a private investor at the time, acquired an apartment complex in Austell, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. It was a prime investment: cash-flowing and competitively priced due to it being a buyer’s market. For a while, we were the crown jewel of the submarket, which gave us a competitive advantage when leasing. But the tide turned quickly. Neighboring properties that were previously underperforming sold at discounts. New owners used their cost savings to renovate and undercut our rental rates. Suddenly, our competitive edge vanished, and we found ourselves with overpriced, outdated units. This experience imparted a crucial lesson: In real estate, you must always be prepared for market shifts — because the market ALWAYS shifts. Fast forward to today, and we’re seeing some eerily familiar patterns in the following areas: The Developer’s Dilemma …

Orange County Industrial Sector Experiences Leasing Slowdown, but Investment Remains Active

by Jeff Shaw

— By Erick Parulan — The Orange County industrial market, along with Los Angeles and the Inland Empire, is experiencing a general decline in leasing activity as it navigates the post-pandemic landscape. Tenant demand and leasing have significantly slowed as occupiers adopt a more cautious approach to expansion, with some occupiers deciding to downsize and consolidate their industrial footprints.  Tenant occupancies continue to contract in the second quarter, with manufacturers, retailers and 3PL (third-party logistics) companies shedding unused space that may have been acquired during the pandemic frenzy, further increasing sublet availabilities. Orange County sublet availabilities surpassed 3.3 million square feet in the second quarter of 2024, raising total availabilities to 9.5 percent for the quarter. While pandemic-driven rental rates hit historic highs, they have since cooled amid softening demand. Many landlords now offer increased free rent concessions to attract new tenants. Average asking lease rates have been on the decline in Orange County over the past two quarters. They decreased by 5.2 percent from the prior quarter, reaching $1.64 per square foot in second-quarter 2024. High market rents previously deterred many occupiers, but with rents on the decline, some tenants have adopted a wait-and-see approach to see where rates …
