NAI Global: Industrial Demand Rooted in Long-Term Changes to Distribution, Manufacturing

by Sarah Daniels

Shifting behaviors and expectations for consumers, manufacturers and distributors have made industrial space central to the commercial real estate landscape. “This is an asset class that for 25 years of my 39 years in the commercial real estate business was a boring, middle-of-the-road class. But this steady investment has just exploded,” says Jay Olshonsky, president and CEO of NAI Global. Much of the most recent change has been driven by the particulars of the COVID-19 pandemic. Delivery became a way of life for those socially distancing, creating an instant need for more distribution and warehousing centers. Olshonsky explains that the behavioral changes starting in March of 2020 accelerated trends (online shopping, delivery/pickup services and working from home) that might otherwise have taken five or more years to come to fruition. Olshonsky explains that there are still hurdles for this ascendant product type to overcome, but the changes we’ve seen over the last year will remain. Industrial Not a Bubble  “Industrial is here to stay,” says Olshonsky. “COVID accelerated trends that already existed, but those trends were already in motion. We’re seeing some changes that are fundamental.” The need for delivery and warehouses is fed by new expectations: “Ecommerce is the …

Marriott Posts Net Loss in First Quarter, But CEO Forecasts Room Demand to Strengthen

by Julia Sanders

BETHESDA, MD. — Marriott International Inc. (Nasdaq: MAR) posted a net loss of $11 million in first-quarter 2021, a notable shift from last year when the firm generated $31 million in earnings, though that quarter did not experience the full shock of the COVID-19 pandemic. Marriott’s earnings were adjusted to 10 cents a share, which was higher than what Wall Street estimated at 3 cents per share, according to The Wall Street Journal. Marriott’s revenue decreased from $4.7 billion in first-quarter 2020 to $2.3 billion in first-quarter 2021 as worldwide RevPAR (revenue per available room) dipped 46.3 percent year-over-year. Additionally, the company saw an adjusted net income of $34 million, which is roughly 79 percent lower than the first quarter of last year ($160 million). Marriott’s CEO Tony Capuano predicts the company’s earnings to bounce back due to a higher demand for travel in the United States and Canada following the widespread implementation of the three COVID-19 vaccines. “As vaccines roll out around the world and government restrictions ease, I am optimistic that demand will continue to strengthen,” says Capuano. According to Capuano, who took over a few months ago from the late Arne Sorenson, the company saw an uptick …
