But that is only one slice of the industry based on the limited number of transactions that have taken place.&nbsp; \u201cThat\u2019s not healthy no matter how you paint it,\u201d Costello noted. \u201cThere is pain underway, and there is more pain to come for these assets, but that\u2019s not every commercial property type.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some sectors, like apartments and industrial, meanwhile, are on much stronger footing, Costello said. \u201cIf we look at how the public market values these companies, not just how the prices of the assets are going, we\u2019ve already turned the corner,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-sector-adapts-amid-market-shifts\/\">Office Sector Adapts Amid Market Shifts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, Costello said, concerns about maturing CBD office debt have been generalized to cast doubt on all banks, including small banks, which did not make loans on large urban office properties. \u201cSo, the banking sector people are overstating, at times. the degree to which this is an issue because they\u2019re painting with a broad brush,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flight-to-quality\">Flight to quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During a later panel, a few office owners made the case for distinguishing between office and the better office properties. So, while all office owners are concerned with absorption and getting tenants back to the office, some are faring better than most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFlight to quality\u2014it\u2019s real,\u201d said Brett Merz, senior vice president for Asset Management at KBS Realty Advisors. \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily a new concept. I do believe it has momentum and keeps going further.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some of the company\u2019s submarkets, Merz said, the difference between vacancies in a \u201ctier-one asset\u201d and a non-tier-one asset can be 6 percent, and asking rates can be 45 percent higher tier-one assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ace Roman, senior vice president &amp; co-head of asset management for Granite Properties, agreed that location really matters today. Even older assets in strong mixed-use neighborhoods are benefiting from flight to quality, he noted. In 2022, Granite purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/denver-office-campus-commands-105m\/\">First Avenue Plaza<\/a>, an 80s-vintage office complex in Denver\u2019s Cherry Creek submarket. Since then, the company has increased occupancy at the two-building property from 90 percent to 97, and they have pushed rents 20 percent, Roman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe building vintage is important, but it\u2019s not the end all,\u201d Roman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And flight to quality encompasses more than just the property, said Alex Hancock, head of national sales &amp; leasing for Howard Hughes Holding Inc. \u201cFlight to quality is quality amenities, quality buildings, quality landlords as well that have the ability to transact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hancock also stressed the importance of mixed-use environments. Being able to offer tenants these \u201csmall cities\u201d is &#8220;especially powerful&#8221; today,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if there is such a shortage of premium space, could new Class A development be on the horizon? Not likely, Roman said. A developer would need to be 60 percent pre-leased before approaching a lender and, even then, the interest rate would be 9 or 10 percent and you have to charge a rent that is unattainable today. &#8220;I think a number of those factors will converge to a point, in maybe two, maybe three, maybe four years, building will make sense, and that will be that Class A rents rise and the debt markets will be a little more open to office.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every CRE asset isn&#8217;t a CBD office building, and every CBD office property isn&#8217;t the same. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":756,"featured_media":1004718546,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21747,51037],"tags":[35877,47492,33156],"class_list":["post-1004718537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-office","category-trends","tag-granite-properties","tag-msci-inc","tag-the-howard-hughes-corporation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
