WALLER, TEXAS — Daikin Industries Ltd., a manufacturer of indoor heating and cooling systems and refrigerants, has opened the 500-acre Daikin Texas Technology Park (DTTP) in Waller, about 43 miles northwest of Houston. The Japanese company’s new $400 million business campus consolidates many of the company’s HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) manufacturing and logistics facilities in Texas and Tennessee. “The DTTP is the largest facility investment our company has made in its 90-year history, and we believe that investing in Texas and keeping jobs in the United States is mutually beneficial for both our company and the economy,” says Takeshi Ebisu, president and CEO of Goodman Global Group Inc., a subsidiary of Daikin.

LAS VEGAS — In the midst of a particularly tumultuous period for the retail sector, evidenced by waves of store closures, what advice do seasoned shopping center executives have for aspiring young professionals seeking to make their mark in this business? The question arose Monday during a panel discussion moderated by Marcus & Millichap’s Bill Rose, national director of the brokerage firm’s retail group, at the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel. The hour-long program, titled “Retail eVolution: A New Beginning, Not the End As We Know It,” analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of today’s retail market. The panel discussion capped off the first day of events at RECon 2017, the shopping center industry’s biggest deal-making event of the year. This year’s show, which is put on by the International Council of Shopping Centers, included 37,000 registrants, 1,200 exhibitors spread across 853,000 square feet and participants from 58 countries.

A snapshot of Toledo’s industrial real estate market at the end of 2016 reveals a well-performing sector, maintaining the steady improvement recorded during the prior year. In fact, the vital signs of the property sector hit some of their best levels in a decade last year. By the end of the year, every key metric was up from midyear 2016 and year-end 2015. One bit of cloudiness trying to sneak in on the otherwise very sunny picture, however, is the limited supply of available space options. Demand clearly exists for additional space, but users are unable to find options that fit their needs. The dearth of adequate space alternatives is restraining potential transaction volume and, by extension, probable job growth. By Toledo standards, the market has been absorbing an impressive amount of space over the past several years. Overall, the 85 million-square-foot market absorbed 763,065 square feet in the second half of 2016. However, as strong as the absorption numbers have been, it is easy to speculate they would be much higher if more of the right kind and sizes of space existed in the market. There is a shortage among all building sizes, but the need is most acute …
