The office landscape has changed.
Gone are the days of sitting for hours behind a line of desks and in compartmentalized cubicles in front of bulky computers....
RSK: Even at the Class B & C space tenants want more luxury...but do not want to pay for it. Therein lies the difference.
Ken Notes: Class B & C may soon mean smaller footprints with shared amenities rather that worn carpet and older buildings.
The career patterns of those fresh-faced office recruits who might stay with the company for a couple of years – maybe – is one of the newest challenges for workplace designers.
As a design conference heard this week: “43 per cent of millennials expect to leave their jobs in two years. It’s now about keeping people and keeping them motivated. And the magic of work spaces is that we can help out with that”.
So posited Christine Candido, of the University of Sydney’s School of Architecture, at the future-focused Work Place/Work Life conference in Melbourne, one of the regular Design Speaks forums hosted by Architectural Media...
...moreRSK: Definitely a hay day for designers. This needs to translate over to existing office buildings as well. A bit more challenging but there is more empty existing space that needs this than new space being built.
Ken Notes: EPIC continues to suggest that design is an integral part of their productivity and and ability to attract key employees.
It wasn’t too long ago that analysts bemoaned the onset of the “retail apocalypse,” but retail earnings reports coming out in the past two weeks have them singing a different tune.
On Wednesday, Target’s earnings presented investors with hope for the future and probably granted them a sigh of relief — the retailer flew past Wall Street’s expectations and saw its biggest sales growth in 13 years. Target reported that comparable sales increased by 6.5 percent, buoyed by stronger foot traffic at physical stores, and e-commerce sales have grown by 41 percent since a year ago...

Imagine if the next time you place an order for delivery from your favorite local restaurant, you’re greeted at your door not by a person but by an urban delivery robot.
It’s an odd-looking little vehicle that resembles a cooler with wheels, but with an antenna and sensors. The top of the box pops open, and you retrieve a bag with your Mongolian beef, cashew chicken and pot stickers. The top closes, and the little robot putters away on the sidewalk...
RSK: This so cool but has a long way to go and many obstacles in its path. I am not sold. There will probably be a better method to evolve.

Shifts Toward Outpatient Care Encourage Off-Campus Medical Office Development; Investors Optimistic About Market Outlook
Industry consolidation prompts medical office development. Mergers among healthcare companies and providers has been a driving force behind changes in the industry and how physicians interact with patients. Emerging technologies and a shift in the care delivery model are spilling over into the development of medical offices. A rise in outpatient services and procedures has encouraged medical office development in off-campus locations over the past few years... ...moreRSK Greater Wisconsin is so into this.

NEW YORK (AP) — As small business owners in Hawaii and California clean up following Hurricane Lane and wildfires, they’ll find there’s no one formula for recovery.
The same disaster can devastate businesses in divergent ways — a hurricane might tear the roof off one restaurant, flood another and leave a third with little damage.
Whether a business recovers often depends on how prepared it is, such as whether it has insurance and its computer data is backed up remotely. Owners should also find out what resources are available to them from the government, their communities and other entrepreneurs, says Craig Markovitz, a professor of entrepreneurship at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business. Communication with customers and vendors is also crucial, Markovitz says...

Convene,

Manhattan footprint with its biggest lease ever, expanding a
partnership with RXR Realty LLC and going after the small to medium-size tenant that industry leader WeWork Cos. has just begun to court.The New York-based startup has leased 116,000 square feet (nearly 11,000 square meters) of office space spanning four floors at RXR’s 530 Fifth Ave. The target is businesses with 10 to 100 employees.
“This is mainly for companies looking for under 10,000 square feet that have outgrown a co-working environment but are not yet ready to commit to a long-term lease with a building owner,” Ryan Simonetti, co-founder and chief executive officer of Convene, said in an interview. “We feel that whole segment has really been forgotten about.”...

I connected with real estate investor, entrepreneur, writer, and educator Chad “Coach” Carson in 2015 when we were both getting into blogging about financial independence and retiring early (FIRE).

This is a big earnings week for retailers. As the reports roll in, it`s increasingly clear that it`s both the best of times and the worst of times for retail.
While performance overall is, on average, much better than a year ago, what continues to come into sharper relief are three inescapable conclusions. First, as I have been saying for years, the idea that physical retail is dying is abject nonsense. Second, retailers that are stuck in a cycle of boring are getting crushed, and the middle is collapsing. Third, as our friends at Deloitte have recently outlined in depth, the bifurcation of retail is becoming more pronounced. The overall conclusion is that the difference between the haves and the have nots is ever more distinct...

Pass-through businesses, and the real estate industry in particular, were generally pleased with the results of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), as well as the upbeat economic atmosphere that continued after its enactment. However, a number of important areas of the new law continue to be unclear, as the IRS has been slow to issue guidance. Here are our latest observations on major areas of tax uncertainty.

to the annual Love List Brand Affinity Index from Goldman Sachs and
Conde Nast.
- Millennials are defined as those people born between
1981 and 1996, according to the Pew Research Center. Gen Z shoppers are
typically referred to as those consumers born thereafter.
- These younger consumers are shopping online but also looking for in-store experiences that allow them to connect to the brand.
Retailers need to pay attention to younger shoppers and where they’re spending money, because those destinations are constantly changing...

Conversations, conversations, conversations, thank whatever deity you want for the basic sit down face to face conversation.
There are some of us and I may be one who thinks that it has become somewhat of a lost art. The art of sitting in front of someone smart and experienced and asking questions. On top of that asking the right questions and listening.
It’s also been my observation that some of the times those conversations are a “who is smarter” conversation. It’s can that person “win” the conversation by showing the other person that they are indeed smarter...

I travel a bit out and about on the planet as some you may know. So with that comes the ridiculous hassle of the ever dreadful security line. Yes, some of you may see it as a necessary evil that we all must endure for the better of all. I get that but we still are asked to take our shoes off seventeen years after one isolated incident. Has anything like that happened since? No, so accordingly it must be working? Really, I seriously doubt that. One personal comment I will make about that is that if the intent of that one person was to make a mark on the world they certainly have done something along those lines, just think about that the next time you reach down and pull your shoes of in front of the conveyor belt.

It remains to be seen how long the complete recovery of the real estate industries, both commercial and residential, will take in the impacted markets.
A year ago, three devastating hurricanes struck the United States. Since then, commercial real estate professionals in the affected regions have been dealing with the aftermath.
In many cases, commercial properties in the storm-ravaged areas of Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico either did not sustain significant damage or were able to bounce back. Some in the industry also say that investor interest in these markets continues to be high, pointing to the need to fuel recovery efforts or proof that some places were able to withstand brutal storms.
RSK: Timely.

Ross Bailey is founder and CEO of London-based startup Appear Here, which is an online marketplace for short-term retail space.

Ken Notes: We need to understand retail is in a state of flux, companies we thought would be around forever are boarding up the windows and new companies we thought would never have a chance are growing.

There’s a long-running argument in American politics about whether the private sector or public sector is the most cost-effective delivery system for products and services society needs. New evidence reminds us that, when it comes to creating homes affordable to low-income families, seniors, veterans, and individuals with special needs, this is a false choice.
A new study by Abt Associates and analysis by the National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) reveals that affordable apartments financed by the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit—commonly referred to as the Housing Credit—cost about the same, on average, to develop as all apartment buildings, despite complying with a host of policy constraints that don’t apply to market-rate developments...

In 2017, we read a lot about big retail chains closing stores. But for small retailers, it may be a different story. A whopping 98% of all retail locations are small businesses, according to the National Retail Federation. If your store is thriving, could now be the time to expand into a second location?
Knowing When to Open a Second Location
In a shifting retail landscape, it’s vital to consider all the factors carefully before you open a second store. Here are some questions to ask yourself.
How strong are your sales?Have you maxed out your current market?
Do you have customers coming from far away?
Is your store in a market area large enough to support a second store, without cannibalizing your first location?
Can you afford a second location?Do you have time for a second location?

It shows me a property specific website that has all the basics. Pretty pics, information about the owners and what is available to lease. I click on one of the 20,000 +sq ft spaces.

Imagine a world where property transactions were fast, efficient and free of cumbersome contracts.
Five years ago, this may have seemed like a pipedream that was light years away. However, as new technology begins to seep into the business and commercial real estate landscape, this dream could soon become a reality. Blockchain, the technology that allows information to be stored and distributed through a digital ledger, will begin to impact commercial real estate. Blockchain functions on a decentralized system, meaning transactions can be completed without intermediaries. Instead, digital contracts allow users to exchange anything of value, from property to shares, through an encrypted ledger that can be stored and shared.

Patrick Kennedy, the owner of San Francisco-based development firm Panoramic Interests—which in June 2015 completed the first high-rise micro-unit building in the U.S. with The Panoramic in San Francisco—has an unusual take on housing.

Demand for industrial space continues to outpace supply, resulting in higher rent growth and compression in cap rates.
Industrial real estate is so hot, investors “just can’t get enough,” says John Chang, senior vice president of research services with brokerage firm Marcus & Millichap.
With investors acquiring $30.5 billion in industrial assets in the first half of 2018, JLL’s H1 2018 U.S. Investment Outlook report notes that the industrial sector is on pace for a new record year in terms of transaction volume and is expected to surpass the previous high point of $67.8 billion in 2015.

ATLANTA — While the development pipeline for industrial real estate is at peak capacity, retail’s new store inventory is taking a back seat. Paul Xhajanka, division real estate manager of Kroger, said that his company is breaking from the past when it would open hundreds of stores a year.
“If you look at our store count for the next three to five years, we’re only going to open 20 to 25 stores across our various platforms,” said Xhajanka, referring to Kroger’s portfolio of grocery brands, which include Mariano’s, Harris Teeter and Ralphs. “Target is opening 10 to 20 smaller stores a year, and even Walmart is down to 10 stores a year. All of us are shrinking our inventory of new stores down. Retailers are building more distribution centers, not stores.”...

Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) recently published the report “Coworking and Flexible Office Space: Additive or Disruptive to the Office Market?”, which examines the coworking sector and what we can expect for its future.
As has been extensively documented, the coworking industry is booming. The flexible workspace market is the fastest growing industry in Manhattan; in Asia and Australia the industry is growing at an incredible pace; large corporates have started to embrace coworking, and coworking, in general, has become the new normal. Moreover, the industry has taken up more than 5 million square feet of new space in each of the past three years.
- Key findings from Cushman & Wakefield’s latest report (August 2018) into the US coworking market.
- In the first half of 2018, coworking space accounted for
over 10% of all new leasing deals in Washington DC, San Francisco, and
Manhattan.
- The majority of locations are managed by large and well-capitalized providers, which C&W says reduces risks to the industry as a whole.
RSK: Maybe yes but in the long run it is still the future.

“Because of the bargain hunting of outlet centers, you cannot necessarily get that same experience on your computer or smart device,” says Mark Hunter, managing director of retail asset services leading CBRE’s mall business...RSK: Can there ever be too many?
