CBRE Updates U.S. Lodging Forecast to Further Account for Delta Variant’s Impacts

 

Rachael Rothman

Dallas, TX – The COVID-19 Delta variant’s emergence and spread has hampered plans for group and business travel this fall and winter, spurring CBRE Hotels Research to temper its expectations in September 2021 for Q4 2021 U.S. lodging performance on a national basis.

 CBRE’s tempered outlook extends into 2022, given the likelihood that corporate travel budgets will remain constrained next year.

 Earlier this year, the lodging outlook had been brighter due to strong leisure demand boosting summer occupancy levels beyond expectations at U.S. hotels.

But the emergence of the Delta variant sapped momentum from more lucrative business travel, giving rise to a concerning “second-derivative” market condition in which the recovery continues but at a slowing pace.

Bram Gallagher 

“The Delta variant and increasing number of COVID infections led to delays in ‘return to office’ plans at many firms and coincided with the start of the 2022 travel-budgeting season,” said Rachael Rothman, CBRE’s Head of Hotel Research & Data Analytics.

“Unfortunately, for business centric hotels, the rebound in business travel expected in September of 2021 is now delayed and will likely have a ripple effect into 2022’s corporate travel budgets.”

                    Orlando International Airport
 

CBRE forecasts that U.S. hotels will achieve a 2021 annual occupancy level of 54.0%, along with an average daily rate (ADR) of $112.85.

“In general, Sunbelt cities and drive-to leisure destinations are expected to perform the best, while group-oriented hotels, northern markets, and global gateway cities reliant on inbound international travel are projected to lag in performance,” said Bram Gallagher Ph.D., Senior Hotel Economist with CBRE Hotels Research.

“The pace of recovery for business and group demand is top of mind for most hoteliers.”

 CBRE is forecasting an occupancy gain of 8.0% in 2022, plus a 7.1% boost to ADR. The net result is a 15.6% forecast increase in RevPAR for the year.

JLL Capital Markets completes $12.7 million sale of Columbia Promenade shopping center in Kissimmee, FL

  

Kim Flores

MIAMI, FL – JLL Capital Markets has closed the $12.7 million sale of Columbia Promenade, a 65,853-square-foot, Publix-anchored shopping center in the Orlando-area community of Kissimmee, Florida.

 JLL represented the seller, PMAT Companies, in this off-market transaction after introducing the buyer to this targeted deal.

Columbia Promenade, a 65,853-square-foot,
Publix-anchored shopping center
 in the Orlando-area community
of Kissimmee, FL

 As an entrepreneurial platform funded by private capital, PMAT was able to acquire the property at opportunistic pricing amidst the dislocation in capital markets during the Global Health Crisis in mid-2020 and to, thereafter, quickly complete lease-up and stabilize the rent roll, resulting in a prime acquisition profile for the buyer.

Danny Finkle 
 Completed in 2000, Columbia Promenade is 98.6 percent leased to a diverse tenant roster led by Publix, H&R Block and MetroPCS, to name a few.

 Situated on 9.7 acres at 1251 W. Columbia Ave., the property is in a high-traffic location with frontage along John Young Parkway, which provides regional connectivity.


Columbia Promenade is in a dense, infill location with nearly 75,000 residents who live within a three-mile radius. The area has a strong projected population growth of 8.2 percent within the next four years.

 The JLL Capital Markets team that represented the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Danny Finkle and Brad Peterson, Senior Directors Eric Williams and Whitaker Leonhardt and Vice President Kim Flores.

Brad Peterson
 “Columbia Promenade represented an attractive opportunity to acquire a high-quality Publix-anchored asset in one of the Orlando MSA’s most rapidly growing trade areas,” Williams said.

“PMAT did a tremendous job positioning the property for long-term success, and Columbia Promenade will serve as a great addition to the buyer’s portfolio.”
