Dayton, Ohio, has had its struggles over the years transitioning from a predominantly automotive manufacturing economy to one with a more diverse base of industries such as transportation and logistics, aerospace technology, medical device manufacturing and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) development. Throughout this tumultuous period, Dayton’s industrial commercial real estate market has had to adapt to the evolving needs of the new tenant mix. Part of that adaptation has led to the construction of several build-to-suits over the last 18 months. This construction trend is being driven by companies opting for build-to-suit projects instead of purchasing existing properties due to their age, inadequate size or functional obsolescence such as inadequate ceiling heights. The trend is evident in the large amount of industrial space that has been delivered in recent years or is currently under construction in the Dayton market. The impact of this trend is an elevated vacancy rate when compared to other Midwest markets. Dayton’s overall industrial vacancy rate at the end of the first quarter of 2014 stood at 14.8 percent compared with 5.8 percent for Cincinnati. Drivers of New Construction Like much of the industrial market throughout the country, the transportation and logistics industry is driving development …

Despite the continuing economic uncertainty, the Denver market is maintaining its status as a major thriving city with respect to all aspects of growth from commercial real estate sectors. This growth is clearly apparent by all the cranes in operation as you drive down Interstate 25—the main arterial highway that runs north and south bound through the entire state. Though 1.2 million square feet of retail was built in 2013 – and 197,000 square feet was delivered in the first quarter of 2014 – most of the current cranes are working on medical, office and multifamily developments. With all the national retailers setting their sights on the Denver market, there is a definite lack of A-grade retail centers that have availability. B-grade product is now being thoroughly analyzed as the next best option. Several of the national and regional tenants are in bidding wars against each other for the remaining A- and B-grade sites. The challenge of the development process is the growing cost of land and construction, which ultimately drives the rates up, thus limiting a huge pool of potential tenants. The Denver retail market in the first quarter of 2014 experienced a positive net absorption of 820,357 square …
