Fitness Startup BOLD to Open in Chicago’s Fulton Market

by Kristin Harlow December 22, 2020

CHICAGO — Real estate development firm Sterling Bay has licensed space to local fitness startup BOLD, which will open modular fitness pods at 1000 W. Carroll Ave. in Chicago’s Fulton Market. BOLD will enable Chicago residents to reserve private pods outfitted with fitness equipment that are cleaned to commercial-grade standards between each use. Pods can be reserved in 60-minute increments. Each one features kettlebell sets, medicine balls, bikes, rowing machines and high-definition screens for streaming guided workouts. The 320-square-foot pods are made from shipping containers. “In looking at how the pandemic so quickly impacted the ability of traditional fitness studios to operate at full capacity, it became clear that BOLD’s model for small, private training facilities could help to fill a need for Chicago gym-goers,” says Andy Gloor, CEO of Sterling Bay. Former Wall Street hedge fund investor and investment banker Jake Goldstein founded BOLD on the heels of COVID-19 as a way of offering a safe gym option that bridges the gap between physical gym space and digital fitness. BOLD uses filtration units from AEX Technology Solutions to disinfect its pods. Each pod features its own isolated HVAC air filtration system to prevent recycled air. Users are required to …

Pandemic Hits Retail Investment Sales in D.C., But Signs of Revival Start to Show

by John Nelson December 22, 2020

The retail investment sales market in the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore metro area, just like the rest of the United States, has been detrimentally impacted by COVID-19. Multi-tenant retail investment markets have essentially shut down, sellers and buyers are unable to come to pricing conclusions and most investment opportunities have shifted into urban areas that are experiencing more immediate distress. As COVID-19 cases continue to spike, and with further tightening of lockdown policy likely forthcoming, this trend will continue as the restaurant and entertainment industry bears the brunt of winter. This will present investors with the opportunity to purchase fundamentally solid urban real estate at a discount as the market for larger shopping centers waits to reset. It comes as no surprise that shopping center investment sales are anemic. Over the trailing three months in the D.C.-Baltimore area, there has been a paltry $49 million in sales volume across three transactions for retail centers exceeding $10 million. This compared to $196 million across nine transactions in the same period last year, a 75 percent decrease in volume. Further, of these transactions, two of them — Bel Air Town Center, purchased by JCR Cos. for $21 million, and Hagerstown Shopping Center, purchased by …
