NIC: Seniors Housing Occupancy Remained Stable in Third Quarter While Asking Rents Increased
by Jeff Shaw
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The occupancy rate for seniors housing properties in the third quarter held steady, even as asking rents increased, according to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing and Care (NIC), the industry’s main data tracking agency. NIC’s data is gathered from more than 14,000 properties across 140 metro markets nationally. The average occupancy for the quarter was 89.8 percent for seniors housing, which includes independent living, assisted living and memory care. That number was identical to the average occupancy over the last three years, and an increase of 10 basis points from the previous quarter. From a historical perspective, the average occupancy in the third quarter was 290 basis points above the industry’s cyclical low of 86.9 percent during the first quarter of 2010. Independent living properties led the industry in occupancy rate, with an average of 91.1 percent, an increase of 20 basis points over the prior quarter. The average occupancy at assisted living properties trailed at 88 percent, the same as the previous quarter but a drop of 20 basis points from the year prior. Healthy Tenant Demand Although occupancy was largely unmoved, absorption stayed positive as the market successfully took on new supply. Annual …
Chicago’s nearly 1.2 billion-square-foot industrial market continues to be a strong performer, garnering national attention. Tightening vacancies, healthy absorption and rising rental rates have spurred increased construction across our region. In fact, 7.7 million square feet in new industrial product came on line during the first six months of the year, with another 16.6 million square feet currently under development, earning metro Chicago the distinction of having the second largest pipeline of new inventory in the country. As vacancies dwindle across the metro area, surging demand for quality, close-in manufacturing and distribution space is driving a critical mass of new speculative development in the city proper for the first time in more than a decade. From January 2015 through the second quarter of 2016, developers delivered 317,000 square feet of spec industrial product in metro Chicago, according to Cushman & Wakefield Research. To put that figure into context, a total of 238,000 square feet of spec product was introduced in the city during the prior 10 years (2005-2014). Another 369,000 square feet of spec development is underway and scheduled to be delivered in 2017, but the new construction will only partly mitigate the pent-up demand for space within city limits. …
