by John Nelson January 25, 2023

SPARKS, NEV. — Electric car manufacturing giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) plans to invest $3.6 billion to expand Gigafactory Nevada, an advanced manufacturing campus in the Reno suburb of Sparks that Tesla launched in 2014. The company’s investment will include two new factories — a battery manufacturing facility and a truck factory — that can support approximately 3,000 new team members. At the battery facility, Tesla plans to produce enough of its patented 4680 battery cells for 1.5 million light-duty vehicles annually. The facility will have the capacity for 100 Gigawatt hours (GWh) annually. The truck factory represents the first high-volume factory for Semi, Tesla’s fully electric combination truck that was announced in 2017. The company’s Semi trucks can travel up to 500 miles on a single charge and run on less than 2 kilowatt hours (kWh) per mile, which Tesla says gives companies using commercial transportation a sustainable freight option. The first Semi trucks were delivered in December 2022 to PepsiCo, according to CNBC. Gigafactory Nevada currently spans 5.4 million square feet and represents a $6.2 billion investment for Tesla to date. Annually Tesla produces 7.3 billion battery cells, 1.5 million battery packs, 3.6 million electric vehicles and 1 …

Investors Drawn to Single-Family Rentals During Tough Economic Times

by Sarah Daniels January 5, 2023

By John Tarantino, Arbor Realty Trust The ongoing expansion of the single-family rental (SFR) market is capturing investors’ interest like never before. Construction starts in the sector topped a record 69,000 units over the past year, while the rate of rent growth remained positive for new leases and accelerated in renewals. That’s according to the third-quarter Single-Family Investment Trends Report Q3 2022, which Arbor Realty Trust recently published in partnership with Chandan Economics. SFR investors want to know what this latest market data reveals about how the sector is weathering economic changes and what it suggests about how their properties are likely to perform in the months ahead. In December, I was privileged to weigh in on these weighty questions as a panelist at Information Management Network’s 10th Annual Single-Family Rental Forum (West) in Scottsdale, Ariz. One of the messages I sought to convey to the audience that day is that single-family rentals have maintained their momentum as well as any corner of the housing market, as our third-quarter report bears out. And while rising interest rates and elevated risk have placed the housing market on shaky ground, SFR is on a secure foundation moving into 2023. With the average age …

Multifamily Deals, Development Slow in Seattle After Breakneck Run

by Jeff Shaw December 16, 2022

It’s been quite the run for Seattle. Like many secondary markets out West, the Emerald City was a pandemic darling, racking up loads of new residents and workers over the past few years. Seattle-area employers added more than 102,600 workers in 2021 alone, according to Marcus & Millichap’s second-quarter market report, which predicts the area will add another 85,000 workers by year’s end. The report also forecasts Seattle’s population will increase by more than 220,000 residents over the next five years. All this activity has led to a bull run for multifamily owners, investors and developers. Net absorption in Seattle’s central business district surpassed the 5,000-unit mark for the first time on record last year, while rents have risen by 14 percent year over year. Demand was so fierce that all 20 of the metro’s submarkets recorded vacancy compression over the past four quarters, resulting in an average 2.8 percent vacancy rate, according to Marcus & Millichap. This is the lowest rate in two decades. Nearly 9,000 units — representing 1.9 percent of the supply — were added over the 12-month period that ended in March, with another 25,000 units still under construction at the end of the second quarter. …
