Taking Stock of Office’s Future

12/28/2020

 
Picture
Uncertainty reigns as the office sector continues to grapple with severe and lasting disruption nine months into the COVID-19 crisis. The emergency adoption of remote work policies in March has turned into a semipermanent status quo, and the biggest issue confronting the industry now is whether and how millions of empty desks across the U.S. will be reoccupied.

According to access control data from Kastle Systems, office usage across 10 major metros averaged only 27 percent as of Nov. 10. Dallas topped the list at 42.2 percent, while the New York metro, which was hit hardest by the pandemic, stood at just 17.3 percent. By contrast, average occupancy hovered above 97 percent in early March.

Pensions Swamped in a Sea of Negative Real Rates: Brian Chappatta

12/28/2020

(Bloomberg Opinion)—Defined-benefit pension plans were already barely treading water heading into 2020. In the years ahead, the risk is as great as ever that a large swath of them will drown.
​
As the name implies, defined-benefit pensions promise to pay a set amount to retirees. While corporate America has largely moved away from this structure in favor of 401(k) options (or “defined contribution” plans), virtually all state and local governments still offer these reliable retirement payouts. And they’ve been falling behind in a big way: In the 2019 fiscal year, states had $1.48 trillion in unfunded pension liabilities, while the 50 largest local governments faced $478 billion in adjusted net pension liabilities, according to calculations from Moody’s Investors Service. The 100 largest corporate defined-benefit plans had a deficit of $285 billion in November, according to Milliman data.

Picture

​
Those empty garages have huge financial implications on the commercial parking industry. Their operators are facing a financial crisis, laying off thousands of workers, and building owners stuck with unused garages are losing millions and wondering if they should repurpose the space.

Things Are Looking Up for 2021, CPE 100 Say

12/18/2020

 
Picture
After the most tumultuous year in memory, commercial real estate executives are cautiously upbeat about prospects for the industry in general and investment in particular, according to the results of the latest CPE 100 Sentiment Survey.
​
In a show of optimism that things are looking up after a long, difficult stretch, 92 percent of the CPE 100 predict that the commercial real estate market’s health will be somewhat better in six months. At midyear, that figure stood at only 63 percent, while 32 percent expected the health of the commercial real estate market would be worse in six months. In the year’s initial Sentiment Survey last February, executives believed the market would be unchanged by a 62 percent majority. The findings are based on a quarterly survey of the CPE 100, an invited group of industry leaders.

12/18/2020

 
Picture
Driven by a combination of continued remote working, workforce reduction and economic uncertainty, it’s not surprising that 80 percent of markets tracked by real estate services firm Transwestern have reported an increase in sublet office space in recent months.
​
“Nationally, the sublease availability rate is 0.9 percent or 163 million sq. ft., as of third quarter 2020, which is comparable to the 0.8 percent (of total available inventory) or at 137 million sq. ft. reached during the 2009 recession,” notes Elizabeth Norton, senior managing director of research services with Transwestern.

A Long-Term CEM Study Shows REITs’ Power to Deliver for Pension Funds

12/17/2020

 
Picture
With more than 10,000 Americans reaching retirement age every day, pension funds are coming under increasing pressure to maximize returns and generate steady income to meet their growing financial obligations to America’s retirees. For pension funds working to meet this challenge, effective asset allocation is vitally important. But a recently updated study by pension research firm CEM Benchmarking, sponsored by Nareit, shows that, in their real estate asset allocations, these investment professionals and their consultants could be making better choices to boost their returns.
​
The study examines the asset allocations and investment performance of 200 public and private U.S. pension funds representing nearly $3.9 trillion in combined assets under management.
