The 50 Greatest Commercial Real Estate Books of All Time

`Create A Magnet, Not A Mandate`: Companies Look To New Amenities To Drive Office Workers Back


With many employees still preferring hybrid work environments more than four years after the pandemic started, companies are leaning on innovative amenities and fresh locations to make the office more of a destination for their workers.

Companies that invest in their office spaces to create that destination that workers feel compelled rather than obligated to come to are having the most success, CBRE Vice Chairman Josh White said Wednesday at Bisnow`s Future of DFW Office event, held at Spectrum Center in Addison.

Whether it’s having their coffee waiting when an employee walks through the door or ordering groceries to be picked up on the way out at the end of the day, Gensler Design Director Justin Bashaw said there is now technology that companies can use to make those things a reality...

College Students Are Taking Developers Back To School On How To Design Apartments


The pandemic years were tough ones for universities and developers of student housing as closures and restrictions kept many learning remotely, taking gap years or just waiting it out at home. Over the past several years, though, the worm has turned: Student housing rents are on a robust upswing that hit an average 9% nationally this past fall.

That’s great news for developers able to meet new student demand for flexible design, high-end perks and sustainability.

And according to panelists at Bisnow’s Philadelphia Student Housing and Higher Ed Development, getting it right today can pay dividends tomorrow...

‘A Hurricane`s Coming’: The AI Boom Is Making It Harder To Build Data Centers Quickly


The rapid pace of innovation in artificial intelligence is making it harder for developers and contractors to build new data centers as fast as their Big Tech customers demand.

In a data center industry where speed to market is critically important amid unprecedented demand, builders were already struggling with yearslong supply chain and labor constraints that made costly delays difficult to avoid. Now, AI is making the situation much worse.

With the computing infrastructure supporting AI evolving at a breakneck pace and tenants constantly shifting their AI adoption road maps, fundamental elements of a data center’s design are changing during development, throwing carefully orchestrated logistics into chaos...

Von Maur’s Remarkable Makeover


Von Maur embarks on a $100 million renovation plan to redefine its department stores for a new generation — and reinvest in the 152-year-old company’s signature customer service.


Von Maur is a classic American department store, currently embarking on an extensive, multi-phased renovation of its nearly 40 brick-and-mortar locations over the next five years. The 152-year-old retailer will invest more than $100 million to showcase an entirely new interior aesthetic, with renovations underway in Wichita, Kansas; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Omaha, Nebraska; Livonia, Michigan; Louisville, Kentucky; Overland Park, Kansas; and Forsyth, Illinois. But that’s not all — Dry Goods, a Von Maur subsidiary launched in 2010, will open five new stores this year, including its first in Delaware, New Jersey and Virginia. Once these new stores are open, Dry Goods will have 84 locations in 24 states. Shopping Center Business recently interviewed Melody Wright, chief operating officer of Von Maur, to see what’s next for the incomparable, ever-evolving, high-end department store known for its dedication to quality over quantity — and to the customer experience — for more than 150 years.

‘People Aren’t Traveling The Way They Used To’: Hotel Industry Seeks New Normal As Leisure Travel Slows


Leisure travel was the first to recover from coronavirus lockdowns, surging well above 2019 levels as cooped-up consumers rushed to spread their wings and fly literally anywhere else.

What if Architects Could Replicate Historic Buildings?


Architizer`s 13th A+Awards features a suite of sustainability-focused categories that recognizing designers that are building a green industry — and a better future. Start your entry to receive global recognition for your work!

Architectural heritage has always been romanticized. Large conservation sites, cultural landmarks and even smaller historic buildings offer a gateway to the past, which admittedly cannot be reproduced through contemporary architecture. Mass production, quick and cheap construction and the need to cope with urban expansion and population growth have removed one key ingredient that heritage structures have: craftsmanship. Handcrafted elements, the attention to detail, and the slow process of constructing these buildings and sites have almost entirely faded in today’s (on-demand) architectural practice...

Tech Giants, Developers And Utilities Team Up On `Flexible` Data Center Projects


A new consortium of the largest players in the data center and power sectors plans to build a series of “test hubs” across the U.S. to turn data centers from a threat to regional power grids into a tool for strengthening them.

An unprecedented wave of electricity demand from data centers is straining regional power grids, slowing the pace of new data center development, creating financial and reliability problems for utilities, and limiting the adoption of renewable energy.

As the scale and repercussions of this growing power pinch have come into focus, a growing chorus of prominent voices, including some from within the Biden administration, has called for a fundamental change in the way that data centers operate. Rather than simply consuming hundreds of megawatts of electricity, data centers could utilize their emergency generators to become “flexible loads,” capable of disconnecting from regional transmission networks and operating under their own power when utilities determine that excessive demand is pushing the grid toward failure...

   ...Full Story Here

RSK: The demand for power for data centers is just going to keep accelerating especially with the growth on speed of computing chips. Small nuclear generators may help in the short run but there must be some answer on the computer end to manage the demand. Also, location to the power source will be critical. As in all real estate...location is the key.

Wendy’s announces it will close down 140 locations as CEO blames downfall on ‘outdated’ areas


A POPULAR restaurant chain is poised to shut down 140 outdated stores in under-performing areas in a bid to strengthen profit forecasts.

Wendy’s CEO Kirk Tanner revealed in an earnings call on Thursday that the chain would shut over 100 stores across the country this quarter.

The restaurant closures will be offset by new restaurant openings, making net unit growth about flat according to the company’s CFO Gunther Plosch.

The chain — which is the second largest fast-food chain in America — said it expected to open 250 to 300 new restaurants across the world this year.

The closure comes following a number of restaurant closures in recent months, as chain restaurants suffer from soaring rents, inflation and rising expenses.

RSK: Under performing stores mostly. Should be a few prime locations available. Most expansion will be outside of the US.

Hopes Fade For Another Extra-Large Rate Cut At Federal Reserve`s Next Meeting


After the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates for the first time since 2020 at its last meeting with a 50-point cut, its follow-up is looking likelier to be more muted.

Economic activity has remained resilient despite ongoing fears over a possible recession, with 98.9% of Fed watchers predicting the Federal Open Market Committee will cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points on Nov. 7, from the current 4.75%-5% range to 4.50%-4.75%, according to CME Group’s FedWatch tool.

That would follow the 50-basis-point cut the Fed enacted in September, which prompted a wave of optimism in the embattled commercial real estate sector. Some, including J.P. Morgan, predicted at the time that there would be another 50-point cut in November...

TGI Fridays` closings could make some prime real estate available in tight retail market


Fast-casual restaurant chain TGI Fridays Inc. has closed about 50 of its U.S. locations in the past week as the nation`s dining industry grapples with inflation and customers trimming their spending.

The Dallas-based chain`s number of eateries has diminished on its website`s restaurant locator from 213 about a week ago to 163 locations as of Tuesday. Fridays had 270 U.S. locations at the beginning of 2024 when the company announced plans to close 36 "underperforming" locations and sell eight of its corporate-owned restaurants to former CEO Ray Blanchette as it streamlined operations...
