Is it Time to Start Investing in Richmond’s Office Market? All Signs Point to ‘Yes’

by John Nelson September 14, 2020

Richmond has been considered a secondary market in the eyes of many national investors, and for good reason. Rental rates don’t compare to Washington D.C., New York City or other major primary markets. But a strong leasing market mixed with a large-scale population shift leads to one question: is now the time to start investing in the Richmond office market? Home to seven Fortune 500 companies, as well as fast-growing companies such as CoStar Group and Capital One, Richmond has made its mark as one of the top cities in the country when it comes to attracting recent college graduates. Offering affordable and diverse housing, amazing food and entertainment, close proximity to beaches and the nation’s capital with a high demand for skilled workers, Richmond is the perfect city for just about anyone. Hence, Richmond has seen a massive boom in its working-class population, which has led to lower vacancy rates, increased rents and a rise in new office developments. The revitalization of two major submarkets is also impacting the growth in millennial population. Scotts Addition and Manchester have both seen significant interest and investment from local and national developers. These submarkets are bringing the live-work-play feel to Richmond’s downtown …

NRF: Retail Imports Pick Up Ahead of Holiday Season

by Alex Tostado September 11, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Retail Federation (NRF) has reported that retailers unexpectedly increased imports for the holiday season, according to the monthly Global Port Tracker, which is released by the NRF and Hackett Associates. The expected twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) for the period between July and October is now just shy of 7.6 million, which would make 2020 the third-highest holiday “peak season” on record, the Washington, D.C.-based organization said. “It’s important to be careful how much to read into these numbers after all we’ve seen this year, but retailers are importing far more merchandise for the holidays than we expected even a month ago,” says Jonathan Gold, NRF’s vice president for supply chain and customs policy. “Some of these imports are helping replenish inventories that started to run low after consumers unleashed pent-up demand when stores reopened. But this is the clearest sign yet that we could be in for a much happier holiday season than many had thought.” The most recent numbers available for the Global Port Tracker is from July, when retailers imported 1.9 million TEUs, beating the forecast of just under 1.8 million.
