Cresting Wave of Job Losses Upends Miami Multifamily Sector

by Sarah Daniels May 5, 2020

How will the COVID-19 fallout impact the Miami multifamily market? Although many investors are approaching markets known for leisure travel and cruise industries with caution these days, RED Mortgage Capital research posted last week indicates Fort Lauderdale/Broward County may offer a more attractive risk and reward profile than is commonly understood in the intermediate term, even under severe recessionary stress. Can the same be said of Miami as many of the same arguments apply? Let us stipulate that coronavirus has struck Magic City a particularly sharp blow. Miami relies on international tourism to a larger degree than most other domestic travel destinations and has experienced greater tourism revenue and job losses as a result. Travel industry consultants STR analyzed the top 25 tourist destinations in America and noted that Miami hotels recorded the largest decline in average daily hotel room rates in April (-56.8 percent from 2019), while the metro area’s hotel occupancy plunged to 20 percent from 95 percent in 2019. Employment data are available only through March at this writing, but even at this early stage, job losses were severe. The Miami-Miami Beach metropolitan division employed population fell 86,000 in March, a one-month decline of 6.5 percent. Job …

Jamestown Launches $50M Relief Effort to Help Small Business Tenants Reopen

by Alex Tostado May 4, 2020

ATLANTA — Atlanta-based Jamestown has launched a $50 million fund to aid small businesses at its properties that are in the process of reopening as states relax retail closures. Funding allocations will be distributed as each qualifying tenant develops a reopening plan with its local Jamestown property management team. Funds received through the relief effort can be used to cover operating expenses, as well as mandatory measures implemented to remain in compliance with local, state and federal guidelines related to COVID-19. Jamestown did not release its definition for a small business but the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) defines a small business retail as companies earning less than $7.5 million in annual receipts. In March, Jamestown launched an online resource guide to help its small business tenants find materials about maintaining business operations, financing, health and safety resources, as well as best practices for operating and reopening in a COVID-19 environment. Jamestown owns properties in New York, California, Washington, D.C., Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Massachusetts. Some of its notable assets include Ponce City Market and The Shops at Buckhead Atlanta in Georgia, One Times Square in New York City, Constitution Wharf in Massachusetts, and Raleigh Iron Works in North Carolina.
