Colliers International South Florida Reports South Florida Again Undergoing an Historic Boom


Alex Morcate
CORAL GABLES, FL -- Alex Morcate, CCIM and Vice President of Investment Analysis, Colliers International South Florida, reports "It feels like just yesterday we were cautioning the potential problems associated with oversupply, lack of demand and unavailability of financing.

"In the span of roughly two years the market's outlook has come 180 degrees from one of caution and pessimism to one of enthusiasm and optimism.

 "Industrial landlords are in the driver's seat enjoying +6% year-over-year rent growth across virtually every submarket in South Florida.

"This is in addition to public investments that will surely spark demand over the long-term. Cap rates continue to decline, signaling confidence in the local market.

 "Land prices remain one of the most heady of headlines with "new" all-time highs being recorded every few months.

"Multifamily has fallen into second place as the former flavor of the month, now behind industrial product, due in part to the lack of supply of sizable deals in core submarkets.

"Retail remains in vogue, especially for institutional investors with the long-term vision and comparative advantage to say places like Lincoln Road are inexpensive by global standards. Restaurants seem to be leading the retail recovery.

"Office product is now the diamond in the rough. The market as a whole has stabilized but remains moderate in comparison to other product types that are benefiting from external drivers like international investment or municipal stimulus."
