The corporate headquarters relocation pipeline from California to Texas was a well-worn story during the pandemic’s early days. The relocation of numerous Silicon Valley companies into the Lone Star State became a point of significant pride for Texans. Recent reports show corporate headquarters relocations have notably cooled. With the dust settled on major moves within the past few years, an analysis of these relocations shows how much Texas and other states gained. However, the complete picture of corporate headquarters relocations is a bit more nuanced. CBRE recently analyzed U.S. corporate headquarters relocations by reviewing about 500 publicly announced relocations between 2018 and 2023, ranging from start-up enterprises to Fortune 500 firms. The five-year period was highly active for these moves, with 465 relocations identified since 2018. Relocations peaked at 137 in 2023 and have cooled since then. Texas attracted the most HQ moves between 2018 and 2023 (209), with Austin (66), Dallas (32), and Houston (25) being the big winners. The cities that lost the most headquarters offices were San Francisco/San Jose (79), Los Angeles (50), and New York City (21)... RSK: Relocation/Migration to Texas and Florida is not without it`s drawbacks....but so far the pluses far outweigh the negatives. AI is slowly bringing back Silicon Valley however. Ken Notes: Both Madison and Milwaukee have a lot going for it. We need to market the recreation, water access, food, entertainment, and more... WARF and RP I and RP II could help... | |||||||||

Converting malls could create hundreds of thousands of badly needed homes.Amy Casciani, a longtime real estate developer whose corporation built housing across seven states, watched her local community struggle for years to add new homes. Casciani grew up in upstate New York, in a suburban town outside Rochester. She eventually started a family and raised her children there, and in the early 1990s, a new mall opened up, bringing over 100 new stores including anchor retailers like Sibley’s, J.C. Penney, and Sears. The mall was a proud boon to the town of Irondequoit, and a go-to spot for teenagers to hang out. “Hands down the most attractive shopping mall in the area,” an editorial for a newspaper serving Albany declared. “From its blue Legolike entrances and splashing fountain to its light-trimmed glass roof, columns and carousel, the mall exudes carnival gaiety.”... RSK: As the article said, zoning is one of the issues here. I believe the city of Madison would work with developers to accommodate this but at what cost? | |||||||||

Nationwide office visits in March were at some of the highest levels since the onset of the pandemic, according to a new report that coincides with fresh data indicating the vast majority of office landlords are seeing more lease renewals. March office visits were down just 32.7% compared to March 2019, according to a new Placer.ai report. Only August 2023, which included two more working days than March, and October 2023 featured higher visitation rates, with 31% and 32.2% drop-offs from the March 2019 baseline, respectively. Miami and New York retained leads in office visit recovery, with
respective visit gaps of 14.1% and 17.2% compared to the baseline. The
national visit gap year-over-year dropped slightly, from a 36.3% decline
in March 2023 to a 32.7% drop in March 2024. RSK: Leasing and RTO up? We shall see. WHen owners have to renw mortgages and interest rates increase, will they bump their lease rates up tro cover the increase? Will tenants accept the increase? | |||||||||

If a company takes space in one of the priciest office buildings on the market, will it actually make their employees come to work more often? The simple answer is yes. In 25 Manhattan buildings that signed at least three leases for $100 per SF or more last year, foot traffic is approximately 10% higher than the rest of Manhattan’s office stock, according to an analysis by Placer.ai provided to Bisnow. The desire to find an office space that employees will want to use has drawn more companies to the most expensive buildings, with 196 Manhattan office leases signed last year at $100 per SF or more, an all-time high, according to JLL. The new foot traffic data validates the flight-to-quality narrative that brokers have repeated since the onset of the pandemic. ...moreRSK: Interesting...but for how long? | |||||||||

Overall available office space in the U.S. reached a new high-water mark in the first quarter, topping 1.2B SF, according to new data from Avison Young. Representing 23.7% of the office inventory in the country, that number consists of direct and sublease availabilities and is a record at least in this century, by Avison Young`s count. There were slumps in office leasing activity in the aftermath of the dot-com bubble and the Global Financial Crisis, but they weren`t as pronounced as today`s and were of an entirely different nature, according to AY U.S. President Harry Klaff... RSK: Remember, this is not spread out evenly over the US. Some pocket areas such as NYC, LA, San Fran, have much higher rates than say Madison, WI. | |||||||||

Companies leased more Atlanta industrial space to start 2024 than they did the year before, but the uptick in activity wasn`t enough to keep the market`s rising vacancy in check. The vacancy rate for Atlanta-area industrial space shot up to 8.4% at the end of the first quarter, a steep increase from 5.2% during the same period in 2023, according to new data from Savills. RSK: Even Industrial has a bit of rising vacancy. One more rate hike is very plausible. | |||||||||

A Vietnam court has sentenced real estate tycoon Truong My Lan to death in the country’s largest financial fraud case ever, state media Thanh Nien saidHANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Real estate tycoon Truong My Lan was sentenced Thursday to death by a court in Ho Chi Minh city in southern Vietnam in the country`s largest financial fraud case ever, state media Thanh Nien said. ...moreThe 67-year-old chair of the real estate company Van Thinh Phat was accused of fraud amounting to $12.5 billion — nearly 3% of the country’s 2022 GDP. She illegally controlled the Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank between 2012 to 2022 to siphon of these funds through thousands of ghost companies and by paying bribes to government officials. Lan`s arrest in October 2022 was among the most high-profile in an ongoing anti-corruption drive in Vietnam that has intensified since 2022. The so-called Blazing Furnace campaign has touched the highest echelons of Vietnamese politics. Ken Notes: WOW! | |||||||||

Coworking giant WeWork has determined its path forward on 90% of its approximately 500 global locations and is working to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. and Canada by the end of May, it said in a release Tuesday. The company said it reached agreements with landlords to amend 150 leases, although some of the contracts have yet to be executed, and it will maintain its leases at another 150 locations without changes to lease terms. Another roughly 150 locations will be shuttered through lease rejections or exits negotiated with its landlords. The future of around 10% of WeWork’s global portfolio, or around 59 locations, remains in flux. But Peter Greenspan, the firm’s global head of real estate, told Bloomberg Tuesday that WeWork staff was “spending a lot of time with landlords … trying to find ways for us to maintain our presence in the buildings.” RSK: Kudos to them if it actually works out...just keep Adam out of it. | |||||||||
