AT&T Completes 13 MSF National Office Sale-Leaseback Deal With Reign Capital, Nets $850M in Proceeds

by Taylor Williams

DALLAS — AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) has completed a sale-leaseback transaction with New York City-based development and investment firm Reign Capital that encompasses approximately 13 million square feet of office space across 74 U.S. properties. The deal, which closed earlier this month, nets the Dallas-based telecommunications giant about $850 million in upfront cash proceeds. The names and locations of the AT&T-owned buildings in which the spaces are located were not disclosed. According to AT&T, the majority of the space that was sold was originally designed and developed “to house and connect large, bulky and energy-intensive equipment for outdated copper networks.” AT&T further explained that “as customers move[d] from copper to fiber and wireless, a smaller, more efficient equipment footprint is managing the network. This technology evolution not only reduces power consumption, benefitting the environment, but also lowers operating costs and frees up valuable real estate for other uses.” AT&T plans to exit the large majority of its legacy copper network operations by the end of 2029. Under the terms of the deal, AT&T will make lease payments to Reign Capital for the duration of the lease term and maintain exclusive operational control of space required for access to communications infrastructure in …

No Boogeyman in Sight for DC’s Retail Market, Yet

by John Nelson

In the summer of 2012, fresh out of college and starting my career in retail brokerage at KLNB, a seasoned retail broker-turned-developer warned me to consider other careers.  “Retail is dying,” he said. “Why would people go to stores when it’s so easy to order online?” Well, it’s been 12 years since that moment, and I’m still waiting for the retail boogeyman to appear. As I write this, I’m happy to report he hasn’t arrived — and the data suggests he’s nowhere in sight. The Washington, D.C., metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is now in its tightest fundamental position on record due to limited new supply and continued demand from national, regional and franchised concepts.  In the Washington, D.C. market, we have the second-lowest retail square footage per capita among major MSAs, with new retail supply representing just 0.4 percent of total inventory. This places the Capital Region in the bottom quartile of retail real estate inventory growth among national MSAs that have more than 100 million square feet of existing inventory. The result? Retail availability in the D.C. metro has decreased to 4.8 percent (compared to the national average of 4.7 percent), down from 5.1 percent year-over-year and 5.3 percent …
