CBRE: Florida Real Estate Withstands Hurricane Irma Due to Long-Term Preparation

by Camren Skelton September 26, 2017

ORLANDO, FLA. — Hurricane Irma made landfall in the Florida Keys on Sept. 10 as a Category 3 storm, and later that day made a second landfall at Marco Island on Florida’s west coast before barreling north through the state. Cities on both coasts experienced storm surges and high winds, but both short- and long-term preparations significantly minimized Irma’s impact on commercial properties, according to a recent report from CBRE. In the short term, evacuation plans, emergency fuel and power supply arrangements, as well as contingency plans, were critical preparedness factors. Roughly 6.3 million people were asked to evacuate in the days leading up to the storm. Long-term preparation including enhanced building codes and infrastructure readiness was critical to the state’s ability to both withstand damage and assess how quickly infrastructure and power losses could be restored. Except for the Florida Keys and certain parts of Jacksonville, flood and wind damage to retail properties was minimal. Approximately one-third of the 240 office buildings managed by CBRE’s Asset Services division were impacted by Irma, according to the report. Of those, the majority only experienced power loss, and less than 5 percent sustained water and wind damage. While retail and hotel properties …

Orlando’s Suburban Office Sector is Ready for its Time to Shine

by John Nelson September 25, 2017

The Central Florida market continues to be a bright ray in the Sunshine State with 68 million plus tourists in 2016, and over $10 billion currently invested in major projects either recently completed or underway. Area theme parks, such as Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World, continue investments in new rides and attractions, drawing even more visitors to Orlando, and setting record attendance numbers on an annual basis. Tourism isn’t the whole story in Central Florida, though. Notable projects in the urban core include the University of Central Florida’s downtown campus at Creative Village for 10,000 students, the 650,000-square foot Orlando Magic mixed-use entertainment complex adjacent to the Amway Center, and the new $450 million second phase expansion to the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. All of these new urban core projects are creating a true live-work-play dynamic in downtown Orlando. The suburban market is also seeing significant activity. For example, the Health & Wellness cluster at Lake Nona; the $3.1 billion redevelopment at Orlando International Airport; the $43 million improvement of the Orlando Sanford International Airport; and the $1 billion West Orange County mixed-use community all showcase that new investment is not centered in one part …
