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.

Convene,
which provides flexible meeting and working space, enlarged its midtown
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). We’ve developed a friendship around our similar values, family situations, and philosophies for life. We also are in a similarly fortunate financial situation early in life. However, our paths to FIRE could not have been more different.

- Victoria’s
Secret, Sephora, Nike and Nordstrom are among the retailers that
millennial and Gen Z shoppers are flocking to shop at in 2018, according
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...
RSK: This not just for younger shoppers...at least half the list is on my list.

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.
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?

I sit in front of my computer and Google: Office Space Chicago. Up pops several generic companies.I click on Maps and zoom into a specific area of The Loop that I am interested in. I click Earth and then 3D.
Moving my finger around the pad, I focus in on one specific building. It’s near The Willis Tower, and I click on the address.
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. Up pops the PDF and then something else. It shows me three potential layouts of the space in 3D. At the bottom, it has a box pop up that asks me a couple of questions.

RSK: Prime example of going the extra mile. Not just the broker involved but the owner of the property and its management.
With the largest Real Estate Practice of any law firm in Wisconsin, Reinhart offers clients custom-tailored real estate insight.
Relentless multifamily construction across the country has finally hit landlords in the pocketbook.
Rent growth has slowed nationwide for the fourth straight year ending in July 2018, and the fast-growing cities of the past few years that propped up those numbers have fallen back down to earth, according to a Zillow study as reported by Bloomberg.

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.
“We had a revelation about six years ago that we should approach development the way In-N-Out Burger approaches hamburgers,” Kennedy said. “That is—simplify the menu, focus intensely on quality and lower the price. That’s what we want to do for housing.”...
...moreRSK: Many people think they can live in these small units...not sure I could with 2 Golden Retrievers but the concept needs to be developed somewhat. Like putting 2 or 3 of the units together in one for those like me.
Ken Notes: We need diversity in the housing market. There are few if any starter homes in the Madison market, and there is almost nowhere to site an upscale micro or small home. We need to change this, remember there is a much larger buying market out there. What we may want to live in is not for everyone.
The Florida Keys are known for their appeal to tourists eager to escape to Margaritaville and fish or snorkel in turquoise waters. Like other tourist destinations, the Keys—a string of islands off the southern tip of Florida—require workers to staff their restaurants, hotels, and glass-bottom boats.
Big Pine Key is a bedroom community where many people who live and work in the Keys year-round reside. The island between Key West and Marathon, Big Pine Key has a population of over 4,000. Monroe County, encompassing all the Keys, has a permanent population of slightly over 73,000. The median monthly rent in Monroe County is $3,500, according to Zillow—too expensive for much of the county’s workforce. (The median household income in the county is $60,000.)...

Industrial REITs own a variety of types of warehouse properties that
support the global supply chain for the manufacture, storage, and
shipment of goods. Of particular note is the rapid growth of logistics
facilities used for the delivery of products bought on the internet.
Demand for logistics real estate has surged with the growth of e-commerce. Net absorption has been more than double over the past two years compared to the average pace of six years ago, according to data from CoStar. New facilities currently under construction equal 2 percent of the existing stock, a rapid pace of growth that is barely able to keep up with demand...
...moreRSK: And this my friends is all part of the morphing of retail and online commerce.
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. That momentum, coupled with $20 billion in large scale transactions that are under contract and set to close in the second half of 2018, serves as evidence of the intensity of investor competition for industrial assets....

Jacques Gordon, global head of research and strategy at LaSalle
Investment Management, was a recent guest on the Nareit REIT Report
podcast.
Gordon will be speaking on the economic outlook for real estate at
on Sept. 24.
In terms of the real estate cycle, “we’re in a good place,” Gordon said.
“Fundamentals are healthy. There’s a lot of new supply but there’s also a lot of demand. Rent growth is steadily upward,” Gordon noted. “There’s a lot of good news already registered in 2018 and we expect steady as she goes, positive for the rest of the year,” he added....

As regional malls continue to grapple with tenant bankruptcies and store closings, outlet centers by many accounts have been thriving.
Shopping centers offering an “experience” and value retail are faring well overall. Outlet centers boast both the “bargain hunting thrill” and deals that are often difficult to find through e-commerce channels.
“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? Only if they are all selling the same products.
