Phoenix Market Demand Sustains Multifamily Devleopment

by Taylor Williams August 30, 2019

Multifamily rental demand in Metro Phoenix has been supported by higher education, while job growth has bolstered construction in the core and neighboring suburbs. Arizona State University has transformed the multifamily properties surrounding its large campuses in Tempe, Downtown Phoenix, Glendale and Mesa. The multifamily rental assets in the West Valley submarket have also been rejuvenated by Grand Canyon University. Thanks to these institutions and several others in the Greater Phoenix area, the growing skilled labor force has benefitted from job growth by supporting several Fortune 500 companies that have continued to increase their presence throughout the region. The recent expansions allow more graduates to remain in the Phoenix area and attract many new professionals to the market, ultimately enhancing rental demand in Phoenix and its neighboring suburbs. The rising number of residences has compressed vacancy rates in the metro as thousands of units are absorbed annually. This market demand will support the continued rise in rental prices and spur apartment development in the upcoming years. Apartment development has continued its strong pace in Phoenix. The metro is expanding its rental supply with about 8,250 units finalizing in 2019. Of this year’s deposit, roughly 2,600 units will be added to …

Phoenix Eyes Industrial Prospects, Industrial Prospects Eye Phoenix

by Taylor Williams August 24, 2019

Phoenix is known for its strength as a logistics and distribution market. This is particularly true in the Southwest Valley, which has become the poster child for all that makes Phoenix industrial space great: strong population growth, a deep and qualified workforce, an abundance of land and building opportunities, and a lower-cost, business-friendly regulatory environment. As of the second quarter, these benefits helped the Southwest Valley emerge as No. 1 in the nation for industrial prospects looking for space (based on interest from at least 83 tenants with a maximum requirement of more than 30 million square feet). These prospects include national and regional distribution centers, third-party distribution providers, major ecommerce users, and a robust food and beverage sector led by companies like Fairlife Dairy, UFI, Ferrara Candy and Red Bull. It also comes from the reshoring of manufacturing from organizations like Hutamaki, Ball Enclosure and Anderson Windows. Data centers continue to flock to Phoenix as well, purchasing about 2,000 acres over the past 24 months and positioning the Valley among the nation’s top five U.S. data center markets. Data center interests like Microsoft, Vantage Data and Google have selected Phoenix for its low natural disaster risk, ample affordable land …

Buyers spent $3.72 billion on 94 Phoenix-area apartment complexes in the first half of 2019, a 41.8 percent jump from the first half of 2018. Sales in the $50 million range experienced the greatest rate of acceleration. The Driving Factors Behind Strong Demand Phoenix is the fastest-growing city in the U.S., according to recently released data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The region saw an increase of 25,288 new residents between 2017 and 2018, topping all other U.S. cities. One reason for that growth is that Phoenix remains more affordable than many other large U.S. metros. People are flocking to the Valley from high-cost, high-tech cities like Los Angeles and San Diego. Phoenix also boasts a thriving job market that includes a fast-growing, high-paying tech sector. Other booming industries include bioscience/healthcare and financial services.
