MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) -Madison officials are making plans to give the West Towne Mall area a facelift.The redevelopment is a part of a bigger goal, which is the Odana Area Plan.
This plan will be formally introduced to the Madison common council at the beginning of July. The city hopes to have a solid answer regarding the decision from the council by September.
A plan to revamp and restructure West Towne Mall is acting as a small piece to a bigger puzzle...

RSK: A bit more information on what may become of West Town Mall redevelopment.....obviously another park.
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.

Apple employees are pushing back against a new policy that would require them to return to the office three days a week starting in early September. Staff members say they want a flexible approach where those who want to work remote can do so, according to an internal letter obtained by The Verge.“We would like to take the opportunity to communicate a growing concern among our colleagues,” the letter says. “That Apple’s remote/location-flexible work policy, and the communication around it, have already forced some of our colleagues to quit. Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a part of Apple.”...

RSK: You knew this might happen. Employees flex their muscles. I guess the old work ethic has started to die out. Once school begins I would think many could return a few times per week. Like anything, give someone a taste of something good and they will want more.
Ken Notes: I would be very careful here companies are always looking for an excuse to "downsize" or restructure and a policy for onsite employment may give them the excuse they need.
It was the worst of times, but now the industry is hoping for the best of times.After an upside-down year of stalled investments, renegotiations of office leases, low residential rent collections and mixed results for retail (grocery and convenience stores thrived, while mom-and-pop shops and restaurants went belly up), the real estate industry is focused on making commercial spaces inviting for employees and customers.
“The operative word is ‘optimism,’ ” said James Whelan, president of the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY). “There is a real sense that things are heading in the right direction.”

RSK: If it is happening in NYC it is happening here as well. Commercial property is a hot commodity on the for sale side as well as leasing.
High Point Office Park is an 11-building, 217,418 square foot office park located in one of Madison, Wisconsin’s finest western locations.
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Inside a Victorian house flecked with chipping white paint, 65 group home residents must suddenly find a new place to live, an unintended consequence of a Federal Reserve policy meant to save an economy in crisis.
The group home —refuge for people with mental illness, disabilities and substance dependence — is closing after its owners agreed to sell the property this spring. Now, Mary Chisholm, who runs the home, is struggling to relocate the most vulnerable. It’s particularly challenging because the area is unexpectedly experiencing the second-fastest growth in housing prices in the nation....
RSK: Yes the housing market is in turmoil but really just comes down to supply and demand especially with low-interest rates.
Homeowners are getting richer and richer as prices keep soaring – and the numbers are staggering.
Those with mortgages — about 62% of all properties — saw their equity jump by 20% in the first quarter from a year earlier, according to CoreLogic. This represents a collective cash gain of close to $2 trillion. Per borrower, the average gain was $33,400.

- This represents a collective cash gain of close to $2 trillion. Per borrower, the average gain was $33,400.
- Record-low mortgage rates for much of last year only added to the buying frenzy and helped fuel the price gains.
RSK: Mark up means nothing until it sells...usually means your assessments will go up which means higher taxes.
As fast food chains struggle to find workers, one sandwich shop is offering new hires up to $10,000.
A Jersey Mike`s in Santa Cruz, California told Fox Business it will pay a $10,000 incentive for a new assistant manager. The payment will be made in three installments during the manager`s first year at the shop.
The chain told the network that it has already received several qualified applications for the position that will pay $18 to $20 per hour.

- It is one of many companies that has implemented new incentives to combat the labor shortage.
RSK: My question is what do those loyal employees that stayed on, stuck out the hard time, and worked through it all receive?

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the different types of commercial leases that are out there. It is important to understand them so that you know what other expenses you are on the hook for besides rent. These expenses are called Operating Expenses and a Landlord will do their best to budget for these expenses each year. For some expenses like taxes and insurance, it is not too difficult to determine the budget. However, there is another portion of Operating Expenses referred to as Common Area Maintenance (CAM) expenses. This expense can be a little more difficult to budget, as it will include repairs, maintenance and the operation of any common or shared areas in your building. This can include shared lobbies, hallways, bathrooms, elevators, parking areas and landscaping. Since these types of expenses can vary from year to year, usually a reconciliation happens at the end of each year where a Tenant will either receive a bill for any overages in these expenses or a credit towards the next year if the expenses were less than budget......Full Story Here
RSK: A more in-depth of what CAM charges can entail...even if you have a full gross lease...

Michael Clarke, a real estate investor, was able to defer taxes on his gains under Section 1031, a provision of the tax code that allows so-called like-kind exchanges.
The administration wants to rein in a tax deferral on gains from the
sale of real estate. Opponents worry that the move would stifle
investment.
...Full Story HereRSK: Another way to look at the value of the 1031 Exchanges....it is not just for the 1%. Many taxes and jobs flow back to the economy on an exchange, not just capital gains being withheld...
David Meade has spent five years as executive director of Building Skills New York, a nonprofit that has helped link hundreds of job seekers with entry-level positions in construction. It’s a rewarding job placing workers into positions that may jump-start a career shift, but this year, it’s required employers to be much quicker to respond. “We’ll get individuals lined up for an interview, and if the firm looking to hire them takes an extra minute, entry-level applicants are on to the next job,” he said.

According to global property consultant CBRE, the amount of sublease
space in Manhattan ballooned during the Covid-19 pandemic, as tenants
looked to cut costs by shedding space they thought they would not need.
Since the beginning of 2020, 19.3 million sq. ft. of gross sublease
space has been added to the Manhattan office market, and sublease space
now accounts 26% of all available space as of June 1, 2021. The Great
Financial Crisis saw an even more dramatic increase in sublease space,
with 23.7 million sq. ft. of gross space added in 2008-2009, accounting
for 31% of all available space in the market at that time.
RSK: I believe this is true in most places in the US. Now if Companies can get the employees back to work is another cog in the wheel.
