The latest CommercialEdge report shows how the sector has stayed stronger than ever, even despite global supply chain setbacks.
The industrial market has continued to make gains in virtually every aspect, the latest CommercialEdge report shows. Though the sector has been affected by myriad difficulties, from severe supply-chain bottlenecks to skyrocketing construction costs, demand for industrial real estate has only grown.
Nationwide, industrial rents hit an average of $6.37 per square foot in October, a 3.9 percent gain over the year. New leases had an average premium of $0.82 per square foot, highlighting the sustained, elevated demand in the sector across the country. The highest rents were in California, with Orange County averaging $11.47 per square foot followed by the Bay Area (at $10.87 per square foot) and Los Angeles ($10.20 per square foot)...

RSK: Still the darling sector of CRE.....and will be for some time.
Madison Lifestyle Office Portfolio comprises 16 Class A properties totaling over 1.7 million square feet of leasable area and an additional 8.3 acres of development land. The portfolio is located on the west side of Madison, Wisconsin.
Flex office space continues to be a popular leasing choice in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, and an Israel-based provider is feeling the gains. Coworking operator Mindspace, which has locations in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, has locked down $72M in an investment round. The company plans to use the funds to expand in the U.S. as well as Europe, where it already has a large presence, and Israel, according to a company statement.
“Mindspace is experiencing an impressive growth momentum and high demand in all its locations,” Mindspace CEO and co-founder Dan Zakai said in the statement. "We successfully faced the many challenges of COVID. Today, our locations are almost at full occupancy.” ...
RSK: Co-Working is back on the rise.
Companies are finally moving away from the traditional workplace centered around a corporate headquarters where employees gather on a daily basis and all the leadership presides. When employees were forced to adjust to working away from the office during the pandemic, some discovered that their productivity relied less on where they work and more on how they work.Now, employers are looking at innovative workplace models that incorporate the new lessons learned during the pandemic. These models include improved versions of prior workplace trends. Hub and spoke, for example, is a popular model used by many companies that includes one central office and smaller satellite offices...

RSK: I like this concept. Unless you have a couple of Golden Retrievers laying at your feet in your home office, why not go somewhere to work with humans to interact with?
The Gialamas Company`s premier development. The park has over 57 buildings containing 200+ companies, occupying over 3.0 million square feet.
The COVID-19 pandemic cast a dark cloud over the entire restaurant industry, but some segments have weathered the storm better than others. Despite the challenges of the last two years, many major casual-dining chains are reporting huge sales growth over 2020 as well as 2019, and they are experiencing some of the industry’s highest levels of customer satisfaction...

RSK: To be honest...most Madison restaurants are casual dining but, even the ones we call upscale, such as Johnny Delmonico`s and The Harvey House are experiencing an uptick!
Larry had a vision after he graduated college: He and his then-wife were going to be a "power couple." They were going to actualize their American dream. They`d buy a house in the suburbs and go on vacation every two years.
That vision of the perfect life eventually shattered. His then-wife saw through the illusion of work, he said, and quit to take care of their children and her elderly father. It took him a little longer to get there.

- The "antiwork" movement is rapidly growing, as people — especially Gen Zers — embrace a work-free lifestyle.
- Both an online and in-person movement, it`s about workers pushing back against exploitation and rethinking possibilities.
- Insider spoke to three antiworkers about why they`ve left working behind, and what it means about the American Dream.
RSK: Again, as long as you get what you need and someone else pays for it why work? Kind of the demise of the good old USA.
How do we “take a day to stay home” when we’re already doing everything from home?
The change started about a year ago. I had just finished cooking my Thanksgiving turkey. I’d picked up smoking meats as a hobby during the first year of the pandemic, but that day, I couldn’t really taste much. Later that night, I wasn’t able to smell anything. Soon I was quarantined in a room in our house. For 11 days my wonderful, patient wife would bring bottles of Pedialyte to my door. I was scared. I was in pain. My internal temperature oscillated between freezing cold and boiling hot. My brain felt like it was bouncing around in my skull. And yet, I grabbed my laptop with the urge to work....

Ken Notes: We will need to shift from hours to outcomes and this should have been done long ago...
Ordering food from a delivery app? The odds are it might come from a ghost kitchen. And if you don’t know what these are, you will soon. Industry analysts say that these kitchens – which prepare foods either from online-only restaurants or from several traditional restaurants in an area – are becoming a big part of the U.S. restaurant business.Ghost kitchens, at their most basic, are commercial kitchens that don’t come with storefronts. They also don’t come with any physical dine-in or drive-through restaurant attached.
Instead, they are spaces that restaurant owners might rent to prepare food off-site so that they can deliver it more quickly to their customers....

RSK: Not that many in our market area unless they are preparing meals for organizations etc. It is more fast food than anything else...like a lot of pizza places which have little seating but do a load of delivery.Anyone know of the contrary please email us and let us know.
Ken Notes: We will see lots of creativity in the restaurant space, I was blown away that there is a Walburgers in HyVee, total hard costs three TV Menu Screens and signage. No kitchen, no building, no interior, just add sauce and seasoning and charge 8 bucks for a quarter pounder...
Mid-America Real Estate - Wisconsin, LLC offers the same high level of service in property leasing, asset management, tenant representation and investment sales for which Mid-America has become known.
As U.S. consumers experience the strongest price inflation in 30 years, contractors are seeing their own brand of inflation that is putting the squeeze on the construction industry and is now causing contractors to raise what they charge.
Bid prices charged by contractors for new structures shot up across commercial development sectors in October compared with September, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tracks inflation for producers as well as consumers.

When the two historic brands merged in 2005, there were 3,500 stores nationwide. Now, however, you`ll only find 21 full-line Sears stores left, and just six Kmart stores.
Retail experts predict those numbers will be down to zero soon.
Sears closed its 143,000-square-foot store at Portland`s Lloyd Center in April of 2018. It served as a longtime fixture at the mall.
RSK: A few Big Boxes will be vacant soon....although Sears has been on the way out for a few years and K Mart is usually free standing compared to Sears end cap of a Mall. JCP will probably be next as a physical destination other than pick up and return.

With the ink barely dry on news of another COVID strain, Wall Street is already betting big on another round of lockdowns.
The new variant of coronavirus discovered in Africa has quickly revived worries of another virus wave, as experts fear its many mutations could make it more infectious — and potentially vaccine-resistant. The variant, named B.1.1.529, has already been found in South Africa, Botswana, and Hong Kong. The world economy had only just seemed to put the Delta wave in its rearview before this new strain, which stands to freeze the global recovery in its tracks all over again....

- Remote work and vaccine stocks rallied in Friday trading as traders bet on the new coronavirus variant to spark fresh lockdowns.
- The rest of the market slumped the most all year, overshadowing strong 4Q forecasts and data showing a budding boom.
- It shows the "stay at home" trade is suddenly back on, and reopening is in doubt yet again.
RSK: Let`s see, if masks are so effective, and we have a mask mandate here in Dane County, why won`t people return to work...especially if vaccinated?

Industrial users of the Chicago region’s biggest and most modern buildings just blew past the previous quarterly record for absorption, according to a Q3 report from Colliers International. This record-setting pace has gone on throughout the year, with users of big-box properties already setting a new annual record for absorption, even though one quarter remains.Companies such as Amazon, Unis, Walmart and many logistics firms have scrambled throughout 2021 to lease the space needed to handle accelerating consumer demand. That competition pushed the big-box vacancy rate below the overall industrial rate for the first time since these numbers were tracked, Colliers found. It has also changed the fortunes of industrial developers, who until recently could sometimes wait years to fill up new buildings.

With the largest Real Estate Practice of any law firm in Wisconsin, Reinhart offers clients custom-tailored real estate insight.
As pricing continues to rise for industrial and multifamily assets, grocery-anchored shopping centers are looking more and more attractive.
When Kroger-anchored Crossroads South hit the market earlier this year, Matt Annibale, senior director of acquisitions with First National Realty Partners (FNRP), jumped at the chance to acquire the 201,404-sq.-ft. shopping center located about 16 miles south of downtown Atlanta.
At 92 percent occupancy, Crossroads South generated more than a dozen offers, according to Annibale. FNRP, a Red Bank, N.J.-based real estate investment firm, went through multiple rounds of bidding before coming out on top, closing the deal in mid-November for $16.2 million.

A false perception of truck drivers` experiences and working conditions is fueling the ongoing truck-driver shortage, according to an expert.
Tra Williams, CEO of FleetForce, a Florida-based truck-driving school, told Insider: "The problem is the perception that trucking is for people of low skill, low education, who are OK with low wages. All three are factually incorrect."
In the US, there is a shortage of around 80,000 truck drivers, Chris Spear, president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, recently told CNN.

In the US, there is a shortage of around 80,000 truck drivers, Chris Spear, president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, recently told CNN.
- A trucking expert offered his perspective on the nationwide shortage of truck drivers.
- FleetForce`s CEO Tra Williams said it`s untrue that drivers are always low paid and poorly treated.
- According to Williams, this is a flawed narrative, and it`s fueling the shortage.
RSK: That, in and of itself, makes for a shortage. Will take a few years to come out of this.
Ken Notes: We need to rethink transit in the US. We need a passenger freight rail system that runs on a schedule so we can get large items anywhere in the US in 24 hours. We recognized this in 2000 when I served on Tommy`s Rail Commission...
