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.”

Katherine Miller

  

HOUSTON, TX,  Oct. 11, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of Commerce Center Sugar Land, a six-building light industrial/flex portfolio totaling 93,945 square feet in the suburban Houston community of Sugar Land, Texas.

 

JLL marketed the portfolio on behalf of the seller, an affiliate of Griffin Partners, Inc. A subsidiary of ARKA Properties Group, Inc. purchased the portfolio.

Trent Agnew

Commerce Center Sugar Land was constructed between 2006 and 2007 and consists of four side-load and two rear-load buildings with a variety of warehouse, manufacturing and specialized lab space.

 The buildings feature clear heights ranging from 16 to 18 feet, 37 percent office finish and ample vehicle parking.

 

The 91.6-percent-leased portfolio is home to 11 tenants in the environmental, energy, manufacturing and market research industries.

 

Situated on 7.154 acres at 12553, 12559, 12565, 12615, 12621 and 12625 W. Airport Blvd., Commerce Center Sugar Land is within the deed-restricted, master-planned Sugar Land Business Park, which is in the land-constrained Southwest Industrial submarket, one of Houston’s premier industrial submarkets.

Charles Strauss

The portfolio is at the convergence of West Airport Boulevard and Dairy Ashford Road, which is near both U.S. Highway 59 and Beltway 8, providing access across the Houston MSA and beyond.

 The JLL Industrial Capital Markets team that represented the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Trent Agnew, Director Charles Strauss and Analysts Katherine Miller and Jack Moody.

 

“The Commerce Center Sugar Land transaction is another example of continued interest from a deep buyer pool for flex/light industrial product both locally and nationally,” Strauss said.

 

 Jack Moody

“As construction costs and land prices continue to rise, it has become incredibly difficult to replicate properties such as this that cater to smaller tenants in the market, driving both leasing and investor demand for this product type.”
