Rumors of the Death of Silicon Valley’s Apartment Market are Greatly Exaggerated

by Sarah Daniels August 24, 2020

Some stories are just too good not to be true. This may explain in part the outpouring of reports regarding population outflows from the San Francisco Bay Area. Multiple mid-August articles in national newspapers took up the ongoing Silicon Valley exodus. These articles make a convincing case that the COVID-19 pandemic and increased opportunities to work remotely — particularly in the high-tech industry — are prompting many Bay Area residents to consider relocating to more affordable areas, even if remote work causes their incomes to decline. The evidence supporting the theory is by no means entirely anecdotal. The number of owners listing homes for sale has increased significantly, the pace of home price appreciation has decelerated materially (less than 5 percent in May) and apartment rents and occupancy have eroded since winter. It is hard to deny that Peak Northern California is fading in the rearview mirror. This should be no surprise. The Bay Area is not only the most expensive real estate market in the country, it also is one of the most congested. Its many virtues come with a steep price tag, not only in terms of cost of living but also in aspects lumped in the quality …

by Taylor Williams August 24, 2020

LAS VEGAS — San Diego-based developer Matter Real Estate Group has started construction of UnCommons, a $400 million mixed-use project in Las Vegas. Designed by Gensler, the development is located on a 40-acre site at Interstate 215 and Durango Drive on the city’s southwest side. Plans currently call for 500,000 square feet of Class A office space and 830 multifamily units, as well as retail and restaurant space. Completion of Phase I is scheduled for early 2022. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that construction on the project was delayed due to COVID-19. Subsequently, the development team has pivoted to “near hospital-quality” HVAC systems and interior finishes made of materials designed to limit the spread of diseases like the novel coronavirus. “We recognized with COVID-19 that a fundamental shift was taking place that would render many office structures as unsafe and therefore obsolete practically overnight,” says Jim Stuart, partner at Matter Real Estate Group. “With the adjustments we made to our building systems, plus additional design attributes, we believe we have unlocked the answer for employee safety that will serve as the preferred model moving forward.” The retail and restaurant component will take the form of a public outdoor venue that …
