South Florida industrial, retail and office portfolio refinanced

 

Melissa Rose

 MIAMI, FL, Dec. 15, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the $5.4 million refinancing for a fully leased, five-asset industrial portfolio with a small component of office and retail totaling 78,064 square feet in the South Florida community of Hialeah, Florida.

 JLL worked on behalf of AJF Properties to place the 10-year, fixed-rate loan with Valley Bank. Loan proceeds will be used to retire the portfolio’s existing senior loan.

 

The borrower acquired the portfolio in separate transactions between 2011 and 2015. At 100 percent leased, the properties are home to a diverse mix of tenants in industries including recycling, automotive repair, insurance, equipment rental, flooring and bakery sectors.

 The portfolio includes four industrial properties located at 3572 E. 10th Ct., 1048 E. 26th St., 3500 NW 59th St. and 2498 W. 3 Ct.; one office and retail property at 491 Hialeah Dr.; and one retail asset at 3345 NW 79th St.

All the assets are in Hialeah, one of the best-performing infill industrial submarkets in South Florida.

 

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Placement team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Melissa Rose and Analyst Zachary Bayer.

 

“Due to the strong tenant demand for small bay industrial in the Hialeah and the best-in-class sponsorship, we had a great execution on the recapitalization of this asset,” Rose said.

 

“Our sponsors have added tremendous value with tenant retention and leasing efforts throughout the pandemic, and the lender provided a seamless close.”

Tri Commercial Real Estate's Osborne Group Announces Construction of Ground-Up Medical Office Building in El Dorado Hills, CA

 

 Robb Osborne

El Dorado Hills, CA, Dec. 15, 2020 – TRI Commercial Real Estate’s The Osborne Group, a leading provider of commercial real estate services in the greater Sacramento area, announced today that construction is underway for a new ground-up medical office building at 8105 Saratoga Way in El Dorado Hills, California, an affluent submarket of Sacramento.

The mostly speculative Class A development, which is owned by a medical group through KFG & FOUR Cs LLC, demonstrates the strength and stability of the medical office sector in Sacramento as well as ongoing opportunity within the sector, according to Robb Osborne, Principal at TRI Commercial and The Osborne Group, which is representing the property for lease.

“While the pandemic has challenged and will continue to challenge many asset classes within the commercial real estate industry, medical office is well positioned for growth,” says Osborne.

Dr. Kelly Hunt 

“Maintaining health and wellness has clearly become a focal point for people. With the imminent release of a viable and safe COVID-19 vaccine and research showing that medical office investments are highly favored for their long-term leases, stable occupancy and income, and tenant credit quality, we anticipate this sector to continue to prosper.”

The affluent El Dorado Hills market where the medical building is being constructed boasts a median household income of $137,903, and 82.5% of the population within a three-mile radius is covered by health insurance.

 This creates a particularly strong location for the property use, notes Osborne.

“The El Dorado submarket contains only about 2.5 million square feet of office space,” says Osborne. “The vacancy rate has notably compressed since 2017, and with positive net absorption for the past three years, office demand has remained healthy.

"These solid fundamentals bode well for continuing demand for this type of new construction in the market.”

Osborne notes that he is optimistic about transaction volume in the Sacramento region heading into the new year as 2020 has been strong for his team, which focuses on office sales and leasing, as well as industrial and retail, in the market.

“In a year marked by a pandemic and financial uncertainty for many, the Osborne Group has performed extremely well, completing 36 lease transactions and 20 sale transactions comprising 250,000 square feet and more than $37 million to date in 2020,” says Osborne.

“In addition, we continue to expand and have added a new team member: Kannon Kuhn, who assists with listings, represents tenants and users, and gathers market research for both lease and sales transactions.

"We are looking forward to ongoing growth in 2021, beginning with the leasing up of this highly desirable asset.”

There are many medical office users and few high-end properties comparable to this new building in the Roseville/Rocklin/Folsom submarkets of Sacramento, according to 8105 Saratoga Way owner Dr. Kelly Hunt of KFG & FOUR Cs LLC.

“As physicians, we’re aware that this higher-end building is truly needed in our community.  

"We will occupy part of the building ourselves, and we have received considerable interest from other reputable medical groups in the area,” says Dr. Hunt.

“The demand for a quality medical office like 8105 Saratoga Way, which offers exceptional visibility and access for Sacramento and El Dorado Hills/Latrobe Road commuters, is already strong and demand will likely grow. 

"In fact, the population of El Dorado Hills has grown by nearly 10 percent in just the past five years.”

8105 Saratoga Way is a 33,000 square-foot, two-story building that will focus on dental, medical, and minor surgical uses. The property is adjacent to Highway 50 at the Latrobe Road exit and enjoys proximity to residential communities, shopping, daily needs retail, and restaurant centers.

US Hotel Industry Forecast Adjusts in Response to COVID-19 Winter Surge and Anticipation of Vaccines

 

Bram Gallagher


Dallas, TX – Dec. 14, 2020 – The recent surge in COVID-19 infections has dampened expectations for U.S. hotel performance through the first half of 2021, but news of effective vaccines has bolstered projections of U.S. lodging industry recovery beginning in earnest during the second half of next year, according to CBRE’s latest hotel forecast.

 

According to the recently released Q3 2020 edition of Hotel Horizons®, CBRE Hotels Research is forecasting an average national occupancy level of 44.4 percent during the first half of 2021. This measure increases to 55.7 percent during the year’s second half.



 

“The increased spread of the COVID-19 virus and reinstatement of government restrictions, combined with the lack of an economic stimulus package, has lowered our outlook for the performance of U.S. hotels during the remainder of 2020 and through next year’s first half,” said Bram Gallagher Ph.D., Senior Hotel Economist with CBRE Hotels Research.

 

CBRE’s Q3 2020 forecasts call for a return to 2019 occupancy, average daily room rates (ADR), and RevPAR levels in 2024.  In general, properties that operate in the lower-priced chain-scale segments will recover to 2019 performance levels sooner than the higher-priced hotels. 


 

One exception is luxury hotels.  While occupancy levels in this category have declined significantly during 2020, luxury still has maintained some relative stability in room rates.  It appears that leisure travelers who prefer luxury accommodations continue to have the means to pay the price premium.

 

The diverse impact of COVID-19 on different groups of travelers becomes evident when analyzing changes in lodging demand by chain scale:

 

  • Luxury and upper-upscale properties are most dependent on businesspeople and conventioneers and will see their demand levels decline in excess of 60 percent in 2020. 
  •  
  • Conversely, hotels operating in the economy and midscale segments will see their business fall off by less than 25 percent.


 “The confidence provided by an effective vaccine will serve to sustain the relatively strong leisure travel patterns observed during the summer of 2020, plus initiate a significant return of corporate travelers during the second half of 2021. 

 

"Group demand, on the other hand, will lag in recovery because of the advance-booking nature of this segment,” Gallagher said.

 

The prospects for improvement in ADR during 2021 are influenced by these demand patterns.  Overall, CBRE is forecasting a 1.3 percent decline in ADR for U.S. hotels during 2021 and annual increases in ADR for each of the three lower-priced chain scales, but continued declines in ADR for the higher-priced segments.


 

 

Construction Activity

 

Further bolstering pricing power for U.S. hoteliers is a deceleration in new hotel construction activity.  CBRE forecasts U.S. hotel supply to increase by 1.8 percent in 2020, and another 1.4 percent in 2021. 


 However, net supply gains are projected to dip below 1 percent in 2022, thus lowering the impact of new competition concurrent with the recovery in lodging demand.

 

While revenue recovery may occur in 2024, some hotels may see their profits return to 2019 levels earlier, as US hotel operators have enacted effective cost control measures in 2020 to offset the severe declines in revenue, and will likely keep them in place for the foreseeable future.
