Shell’s Move Exemplifies Flight to Quality Trend for Office Users in New Orleans

by John Nelson

Shell’s announcement in mid-September to relocate its home from the Central Business District (CBD) of New Orleans to the planned 50-plus acre River District rocked the office market. The oil and gas giant has been in the Hancock Whitney Center (formerly One Shell Square) since 1972, and will be rightsizing in a Class A mid-rise office building that will anchor the River District. The planned building will be approximately 142,000 square feet and home to 850 to 1,000 employees.  What a huge win for the planned River District and city of New Orleans. However, the void left in Hancock Whitney Center raises the question, what will building ownership group do with all of the space that Shell vacates? If the current occupancy rate stands, Hancock Whitney Center will have over 500,000 square feet of vacant space.  Elsewhere, Entergy is in the process of a major contraction in its building located at 639 Loyola Ave., and earlier this year, Freeport McMoRan vacated over 100,000 square feet of space at 1615 Poydras. Both buildings are also located in the CBD. A number of office towers have loans maturing within the next 24 months, and the logical assumption is that securing financing will …

US Economy Adds 199,000 Jobs in November, Marginally Outperforming Expectations

by John Nelson

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Total nonfarm employment in the United States rose by 199,000 jobs in November, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). CNBC reports that the figure slightly beats estimates from Dow Jones economists who predicted an increase of 190,000. This also marks an increase from the 150,000 jobs gained in October but below the average monthly gain of 240,000 over the prior 12 months. Private sector employment constituted 150,000 of the added jobs, with 49,000 jobs added in the government. Healthcare saw a significant increase, with the addition of 77,000 jobs, above the average monthly gain of 54,000 over the prior 12 months. The manufacturing and leisure and hospitality industries added 28,000 and 40,000 jobs, respectively, and the social assistance sector saw a more modest increase of 16,000. Employment in information and transportation and warehousing changed little, and retail trade employment declined by 38,000 jobs. The U.S. unemployment rate in November fell to 3.7 percent from 3.9 percent in October, beating expectations from Dow Jones economists who forecasted the rate would remain unchanged. Employment numbers for September and October saw minimal revisions. The BLS revised September job gains down by 35,000 from 297,000 to 262,000, and …
