The Washington, D.C., office market is facing challenging times, marked by unprecedented vacancy rates, dwindling demand and a significant supply-demand imbalance. Within these constraints, the flight to quality trend is reshaping how investors and lenders view office assets and should lead to an inventory reclassification.  The divide between high-quality assets and lesser properties widens almost daily, creating a bifurcated market with fierce competition for quality space. Meanwhile, older, less desirable properties languish, accumulating vacancies as they fail to meet current occupier expectations.  Without intervention, the less desirable properties will continue to drag down the market’s perception, obscuring the success of top-tier spaces with a headline vacancy rate. To contribute to the stabilization of the market, office participants must acknowledge this divide and assess distressed assets not as liabilities, but as opportunities to reset and reclassify properties based on realistic usage and demand. Lenders are central to this process as they control a substantial portion of distressed office stock. After years of extending loans to stave off foreclosure during uncertain times, many are now realizing that relief is unlikely to materialize organically. As a result, foreclosures are already up 121 percent in 2024 year-to-date over 2023 in Washington, D.C. On average, …

By Jason Baker, principal at Baker Katz If you look back about 150 years or so, drugstores have played a big role in communities nationally and across Texas. From the beginning with small corner pharmacies to today’s large retail chains with 24-hour service, drive-thrus and a wide range of products, drugstores have filled retail and service needs in the communities they serve. However, in the past few decades, there has been a noticeable shift. In the 1980s and 1990s, national chains such as Walgreens and CVS expanded rapidly, often setting up stores at the exact same intersection. These stores became go-to spots for everything from prescriptions to film processing to everyday essentials and necessities. However, their fast-paced growth also came with its own set of challenges, such as high costs of real estate and operational expenses that left the underlying real estate of many of the drugstores vulnerable when market conditions changed. Shifting Consumer Behaviors Force Adaptation Over the past two decades, consumer behavior has changed significantly. With the rise of telehealth, people can now see a doctor on Zoom and get a prescription without ever leaving their home. At the same time, online giants and big-box retailers have also …

Aventine-Huntersville-North-Carolina

By Nellie Day The multifamily investment market has provided some mixed signals over the past year. There have been the ebbs and flows in the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield and interest rates, a moderating level of inflation (the Consumer Price Index rose 2.7 percent in November on an annual basis), and a hard-fought presidential election with Donald Trump emerging as the victor.  Despite the volatility in the debt markets, the overall sentiment among investors remains positive.  CoStar Group notes that multifamily transaction volume nationally rose 18 percent year over year in the third quarter of 2024, reaching $74 billion. CoStar adds, however, that momentum noticeably slowed toward the end of the quarter, when fixed-rate borrowing costs climbed in step with the rising yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note.  “This trend is underscored by a 4 percent decline in quarter-over-quarter transaction volume — a contrast to the typical seasonal uptick in the third quarter — following stronger activity in the first two months of [the fall season],” says Chad Littell, national director of U.S. capital markets analytics at CoStar.  Pickup in Transactions  Littell observed that the U.S. multifamily investment market “somewhat mirrored” the movement of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, …
