Growth of Affordable Housing Delayed by Approval Process Slowdowns, Supply Chain

by Sarah Daniels February 8, 2022

The need for affordable housing has grown, but factors like municipal slowdowns and delays in financing have helped contribute to a lack of supply. Gregg Gerken, head of U.S. Commercial Real Estate with TD Bank, spoke to REBusiness about why the need for affordable housing is at a critical juncture and why this need is so difficult to fill. Finance Insight: What is the state of affordable housing right now? Gerken: There is a supply/demand imbalance. There continues to be a desperate need for more investment in affordable housing, not less. The arrival of COVID introduced more challenges for affordable housing, but the struggle to find high-quality affordable rental housing existed well before the pandemic. Rent prices affect millions of Americans, especially those with low incomes, and rents have only increased. Furthermore, the pandemic has caused an interruption of the supply chain and much-needed new projects have been delayed. Finance Insight: Can you outline a few big-picture national trends that are most impacting affordable housing right now? Gerken: As I mentioned, the imbalance of supply and demand is negatively affecting affordable housing. Rising rental rates mean fewer people will be able to qualify for affordable housing. Coming out of COVID …

Mixed-Use Projects, Mall Redevelopments Headline Triangle’s Retail Development Activity

by John Nelson February 7, 2022

The end of 2021 in Raleigh-Durham was marked by robust retail leasing and an increased level of investment sales in our suburbs and infill trade areas. Downtown Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill have lagged in activity, although each urban environment started to see a resurgence by mid-year, and notably Downtown Raleigh ended 2021 with record retail leasing activity. Population growth and major economic development announcements are driving these positive trends. Apple, Google, FujiFilm, several life sciences companies and most recently Toyota (just east of the Raleigh-Durham region) have highlighted economic expansion. Strong demand and a healthy retail construction pipeline have held retail vacancy to 7.1 percent despite headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic. The healthy retail development pipeline includes several new mixed-use projects. Cary will see one of the largest active mixed-use projects in the Southeast deliver this year when Fenton opens in the spring. Hines and Columbia Development are currently finalizing the first phases of the project. Spread over 92 acres, Fenton will initially include retailers such as Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma and Superica, as well as apartments and office space.
