Image courtesy of MBA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>People in the market are seeing faster changes, and the data is not necessarily current with deal-making, he says. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely a challenge in working with the data right now,\u201d because the situation is changing so quickly.<\/p>\n<p>For example, banks\u2019 holdings of construction loans have been increasing, from $436 billion at the end of October to $444 billion in late November.<\/p>\n<p>Bearing in mind the time lag between deals and data, construction financing is up, but so is the cost, so deals are harder, Woodwell says.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, while office development remains down from its pre-pandemic peak and retail has hit a record low during the pandemic, multifamily permitting and starts \u201ccontinue to be very robust.\u201d In fact, Woodwell says, the development of multifamily and industrial projects is \u201cessentially at record levels,\u201d with more multifamily under construction now than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>That outlook isn\u2019t necessarily the same from every angle, however. For example, in mid-December, <strong>Dodge Construction Network<\/strong> reported that total construction starts fell in November by 18 percent and that nonresidential building starts fell by 25 percent. Health care was one of the only nonresidential subsectors to increase on a month-to-month basis.<\/p>\n<p>So, while tightening conditions for CRE development have perhaps not been sudden, they certainly seem to have been cumulative, even though the surge in construction costs has been moderating and even though rent growth in some product types has been strong.<\/p>\n<h2>Capital markets in 2023<\/h2>\n<p>If the capital markets are limiting development opportunities, what\u2019s the outlook for them?<\/p>\n<p>While Webb says, \u201cI don\u2019t think it will get much worse\u201d for development financing, he also predicts, \u201cYou\u2019re going to see a material cessation of development activity\u201d as the limitations on obtaining construction financing bring development to a near-halt.<\/p>\n<p>Already, he says, \u201cOffice is impossible. You can forget about office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a practical matter, Webb says, \u201cWe believe the debt markets will improve, so we always need to test the market to see what positive changes have occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a Capital Markets Special Report released in December by <strong>Marcus &amp; Millichap Capital Corp<\/strong>. Steven Buchwald. senior managing director, IPA Capital Markets, noted that groundbreakings are slowing as construction financing becomes limited, ultimately because of investor underwriting and despite a deceleration of construction costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike the period after the great financial crisis,\u201d he wrote, \u201cthere can often be no level at which a land buy pencils for LP investors who will conservatively underwrite higher exit cap rates to account for possible cap rate inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lack of development resulting from tougher underwriting \u201cmay exacerbate supply\/demand imbalances, and lead to even greater rent growth in some markets and product types,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/economists-view-the-watchwords-for-2023-are-uncertainty-and-stress\/\">Uncertainty and Stress Carry Over into the New Year<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>CBRE\u2019s David Webb agrees, predicting that a slump in development activity \u201cwill mean less supply, which means higher rents,\u201d especially in multifamily properties, contributing to further inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, we need to get past the current round of Fed rate hikes and get some clarity about a possible recession, he says. It isn\u2019t likely there <em>won\u2019t<\/em> be one, Webb says, though he believes it will be shallow and mild.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus &amp; Millichap foresees a bifurcation between well-capitalized investors, who can take advantage of market dislocation, versus highly leveraged borrowers, who could face challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExpect higher leverage options to remain less available\u2014particularly for construction loans, renovation loans, and other highly transitional business plans,\u201d the report predicts.
