PUBLISHER’S LETTER Dear Readers,

A

s I write this I know many of you are en route to Las Vegas for ICSC. I hope you have great success, get a lot of deals done and arrive home happily exhausted!

In this month’s issue, you’ll find excerpts of CBRE’s 1stQ office reviews. Dallas has almost 50% of their new construction space preleased and Austin and San Antonio are seeing record high office rates. In fact, San Antonio had the strongest first quarter absorption ever recorded. Although Houston had a healthy first quarter with 577,700SF of absorption, job growth is slowing and Houston’s office market is expected to experience a slowdown this year as compared to its record setting 2014. The good news is that Houston is coming from a place of strength because since 2009 it has gained four new jobs for each one lost during the recession. We will continue to see job growth this year even though it will be substantially less than previous years.

Check out Brandi’s Live/Work/Play article on Pages 12, 14, 16. She traces the “mixed-use” lifestyle back to medieval days with the creation of walled villages.

Even though during the early 1900s zoning was introduced throughout major cities in the US in order to control growth and development, creative CRE developers began dappling with the concept of mixed-use within the zoning parameters.

LIVEWORKPLAY: PHILOSOPHY OF SUCCESSS

REDNews

BY BRANDI SMITH

t’s a sunny Saturday morning at The Pearl in San Antonio and the converted former brewery property is bustling with activity. There are shoppers surveying produce in more than 40 different booths at the weekly farmer’s market. Right in the middle of the market, the brunch crowd flows in and out of Cured, one of the development’s 15 restaurants, some diners headed home to their apartment at the Can Plant just a few steps away.

Over at The Park at Pearl, families walk along the San Antonio River, savoring the sunshine. Taking in the scene, it’s easy to see why mixed-use development has exploded in popularity.

Developers began experimenting with the concept of mixed-uses within the new zoning regulations. In doing so, they learned valuable lessons that have guided development into the modern era, including the value of pedestrian-friendly connections and integrated shared parking. These days, East Texas is brimming with successful examples of mixed-use properties in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin.

The Pearl is a shining example of a project that has embraced the live-work-play philosophy with huge success. Its developers didn’t just bulldoze and build; they carefully crafted, using the Pearl Brewery’s history and footprint. In doing so, they created a high-density destination for residents, shop owners, office tenants, restaurateurs and more.

Mixed-Use Development’s Mixed History

Though the Pearl’s extensive history dates all the way back to 1883, the origins of mixed-use development stretch far beyond that. Medieval villages, tucked securely within their walls, offered all the amenities residents needed. As the population grew, it remained contained by those walls, encouraging mixeduse of existing buildings. Early maps of fledgling cities such as London, Manhattan and Boston reveal they adopted similar principles, maintaining compact areas with multiple uses.

It wasn’t until American cities grew to dangerous levels that local governments introduced zoning by mandating a segregation of uses. First used by New York City in 1916, zoning provided a way for local government to regulate how private property could be developed. The idea was strengthened by the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1926 decision in the Ambler v. Village of Euclid, Ohio case. The justices maintained that local governments could dictate land use as a means of deciding how and where their town should grow.

With the new restrictions, mixed-use development slowed with a few exceptions in cities such as Cleveland, Ohio and New York City. In addition to featuring the train station after which it was named, the Cleveland Union Terminal, which opened in 1930, featured restaurants, a department store, a hotel, a post office and four different towers. NYC’s Rockefeller Center was built the next year on 22 acres. The property featured 19 commercial buildings, all connected via an underground concourse.

“It has truly become a neighborhood”

More than 20 years into what was originally an effort to improve a troubled neighborhood, Uptown Dallas is still growing and evolving. It got its start in 1993 when a group of property owners joined efforts to create the city’s first public improvement district. Back then, the district’s tax value was $550 million. In 2015, that value has grown to more than $4 billion, according to Amy Tharp, Uptown’s president and executive director.

“[It] is now so large and successful that it’s hard to think of it as a ‘development,’” says Pam Stein, executive director of ULI North Texas. “It has truly become a neighborhood and is wellknown in the region and outside Texas.”

Its tax value is far from Uptown’s only impressive number. Consider this: it now has more than 15,000 residents in less than a square mile.

“Although the revitalization of urban neighborhoods started as a trend with young professionals and empty nesters, Uptown is maturing out of that trend and becoming more appealing to families as well,” says Tharp. “Children under the age of five is our fastest growing demographic at already 10 percent of our total Uptown population.”

The shifting demographics are creating new priorities for Uptown, including improving neighborhood schools and creating more opportunities for families.

soon,” Tharp says.

“People live in Uptown for the quality of life,” Tharp says.

“Instead of spending countless time commuting, they are within a short walk from all of their living, working and playing needs.”

As so many other projects have, Uptown has learned the value of creating a pedestrian-friendly environment.

“With the success of Uptown comes limited real estate, so creatively re­thinking the public realm we do have can efficiently move people with an enjoyable experience to those on foot, bicycle, trolley or in a car,” says Tharp.

That evolution is exactly what city planners and other real estate experts are looking forward to as more people move to Dallas.

“I’m excited to see more infill, especially near our transit stations,” says ULI’s Stein. “It’s also a positive step to see retail and residential growth downtown and more development on the south side of the CBD, in the Farmer’s Market and the Cedars.”

The city’s area redevelopment manager Karl Stundins calls the atmosphere of developments like Uptown “synergistic.”

“Higher density residential development creates a market for new restaurants and retail shops; the proximity of the restaurants, shops and rail system add value to the people living in the residential components of the projects,’”Stundins explains.

He says that’s especially beneficial for parts of Dallas that have historically lagged in development, such as Trinity Grove, the Fort Worth Avenue/West Commerce corridor, the West Davis corridor and related Bishop Arts District and the Lancaster Road Corridor.

“Several exciting projects are recently completed and/or underway in all these areas,” points out Stundins.

As those new developments mature and grow, they can look to Uptown as an example of what works.

“With at least six new developments in progress right now, several more set for construction and even more in the design phase, growth in Uptown is not slowing anytime

“It is beyond our expectations”

Head south on I-35 and before you hit downtown Austin, you’ll pass what used to be Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, now home of Mueller Austin. The 700-acre development first started construction on its “mixed-use, new urbanism master plan” 11 years ago,” according to Greg Weaver, executive vice president of Catellus Development Corp., Mueller’s master developer.

“We had a bunch of pretty pictures with this dream. You get a little nervous worrying ‘Will this become a reality?’ Today, the dream is reality out here,” Weaver says. “It’s been amazing.

It is beyond our expectations.”

Mueller currently counts more than 3,600 living and working there, but Catellus aims to boost that number to 26,000 when the development is finished. It’s nearly halfway there now and Weaver says the best is yet to come in what will be Mueller’s town center: Aldrich Street

“We’re spending a lot of time on it to try to make it something unique and different that you won’t find anywhere else,” says Weaver. “I think it’s going to be what the greater community looks at as a destination, kind of a must-go place.”

Aldrich Street will include the Austin Children’s Museum, an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a hotel, office and urban-style apartments, lofts and condominiums.

“There’s a big push to have great local restaurants, a local theater, something that you can’t find anywhere else in the United States. The only place you would find it is Austin, Texas,” Weaver says.

“Austin has a special blend of history, music, higher education and state government that creates a vibe unlike any other

in the country,” says David Steinwedell, executive director of ULI Austin.

Keeping the city’s unique feel while building something new poses a challenge for any developer looking to tap into Austin’s roots while helping it grow.

“We want to support the preservation of the cultural fabric that has made Austin great, coupled with smart development that recognizes the future growth that will happen in the greater Austin area,” Steinwedell says. “For Austin to continue to grow efficiently, increased use of mixed-use development will be a critical component.” image credit: Nick Simonite

“A new heart of San Antonio”

In the same way Mueller found opportunity in Austin’s shuttered airport, developers of The Pearl discovered a gem in the form of an abandoned brewery in San Antonio. Started in 1883, The Pearl Brewing Company operated on 22 acres along the city’s famed river. It survived Prohibition with matriarch Emma Koehler leading the way.

“She ran it through Prohibition and didn’t lose a single employee,” says Elizabeth Fauerso, chief marketing officer of The Pearl. “During Prohibition, they made ice, Near Beer and soda and had a sign-painting factory.”

When Prohibition ended at midnight on Sept. 15, 1933, the plant was ready, loading 100 trucks and 25 boxcars with beer within the hour. Sixty-seven years later, the factory ceased production, but its story was far from over.

In 2002, Silver Ventures (led by Kit Goldsbury) purchased the brewery property with lofty plans inspired by its extensive history.

“I think the idea of saving the buildings, renovating the buildings, restoring the historic spaces and bringing it back to being a vibrant and dynamic San Antonio neighborhood was an inspiration,” says Fauerso.

The Pearl takes development beyond just building; it’s also preserving by reusing pieces of the original brewery.

“When we start a new project, we work with our architects to figure out really pointed ways to reuse the materials,” Fauerso says. “There are turn-of-the-century pieces of industrial equipment: bottle labelers brought over from Germany in the 1920s, hand-washing sinks with manual pedals from the 1920s and all different sizes of iron tanks.”

made a name for itself as a foodie destination.

“Coming during one of our farmer’s markets is a great way to get a full Pearl experience,” says Fauerso. “It’s representative of our south Texas food ways. You can see our growing culture, our farming culture; there’s live music and most of the residents attend.”

The weekend farmer’s markets serve to supplement the development’s 15 eateries, which each have their own focus and flavor.

“We really found as we continued to do this and built this dream of this food-centric neighborhood that every restaurant that we add lifts all the boats and all the restaurants continue to improve their performance,” Fauerso says.

The Pearl, though, features much more than great food.

Its 13 boutiques are all locally owned businesses, such as Niche.

While the company is 20 years old, its location at The Pearl is its first and only storefront. “It was really the unique opportunity of the Pearl,” owner Ashe Derman says, explaining why she waited until August 2014 to open a brick-and-mortar store. “[It] doesn’t have big box retailers or even big chains. Everything that’s going here is more independent businesses, including the restaurants.

It’s really a nice, small-business focused environment and I think that’s really neat.”

Ross says she saw The Pearl’s potential five years ago when she decided to uproot her store from its 35-year location and move into the fledgling project.

“I took the risk of staking my claim early in the process.

Now I really feel like I have one of the best locations on property,” she says. “I’m sitting in my office right now, looking at the historic stable with this gorgeous 100-year-old oak tree outside. It’s amazing.”

Ross has seen the development evolve quickly in those first five years, but she’s most excited for this fall when the 146room Hotel Emma, named for Emma Koehler, is scheduled to be completed. “Once the hotel opens, I cannot even forecast what it’s going to be like,” she says.

Like the rest of The Pearl, Hotel Emma will have a big culinary emphasis, including a bar and club room and a full-service restaurant called Supper. “The idea for the hotel is that it will play the role that great hotels used to play in cities in which it was the city’s living room, a place where visitors and locals wanted to gather,” Fauerso says. “We see Hotel Emma as being a new heart of San Antonio.”

In their own way, mixed-use developments throughout East Texas can serve as the heart of their respective cities. While The Pearl taps into San Antonio’s history, Mueller’s Aldridge Street highlights Austin’s quirks and Uptown capitalizes on Dallas’s young professionals. These developments are a cross-section of a given city’s culture, a small-scale sampling of what each city has to offer, a kind of introduction to the larger community of which they’re a part.

Incorporating those pieces in the right way takes time, which is a luxury many developers and tenants don’t have. In the case of The Pearl, though, rushing is not an option.

“[The developers are] meticulous about getting the details right,” says Marla Ross, owner of Adalante Boutique. “They are not a blow-and-go, throw-up-the-strip-mall-in-24-hours kind of place.”

Because of its historic property and carefully curated collection of restaurants, coffee shops and bars, The Pearl has also 16 | REDNews.com

MARKETVIEW Houston Office, Q1 2015

Houston watching and waiting as oil prices drop

REDNews The Houston office market closed the quarter with 577,700 sq. ft. of positive absorption. While market occupancy is expected to slow this year due to the drop in oil prices, healthy absorption this quarter is no surprise thanks to strong leasing activity in recent quarters.

While fear of a repeat of the 1980s has been swirling, experts do not predict a downturn nearly as severe.

The market will see slower job growth numbers compared to records in years past, losses in energy jobs (for whitecollar jobs, the loss is expected to hit the upstream-heavy Energy Corridor the hardest), increases in sublease space and possible decreases in rental rates.

While this slowdown will be hard on the market, it is expected to recover in about 18 to 24 months, according to Bill Gilmer, director at the Institute for Regional Forecasting at the University of Houston.

It is important to remember that Houston’s economy is entering this period from a position of strength, having gained four new jobs since 2009 for each one lost during the recession while experiencing income growth above the national average.

The Houston market continues to lead the nation in office construction activity, with 15.9 million sq. ft. under construction, of which 64% is preleased.

Proposed construction is expected to stall in the wake of the decline in oil prices as developers are feeling the pressure of the market slowdown.

For a market with onefifth of the nation’s office construction, the pause in speculative construction will allow demand to catch up with supply as the remainder of space underway comes online over the next two to three years.

Q1 2015 is highest quarter for DFW office deliveries in a decade, over 1.5 million sq. ft.

• Annual year-over-year employment growth throughout Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) remained strong through October 2014 with 4.4% growth, representing 136,300 new jobs.

• The largest office sale transacted over the quarter was the purchase of Canal Centre in Addison, sold by LaSalle Investment Management.

• Moody’s Analytics forecasts gross metro product to grow 4.5% in 2015 and 5.8% in 2016 for the DFW metro.

• Q1 2015 saw a rise in new completions and an increased pace of new construction starts. Despite this uptick in activity, the total under construction pipeline registered 6.3 million sq. ft. over the quarter, due to State Farm’s 1.5 million sq. ft. delivery.

• Market wide vacancy decreased by 10 basis points in Q1 2015, closing with an18.3% vacancy rate, twelve months after vacancy dipped below 18% for the first time since 2008.

• Net absorption throughout the DFW office market continued to trend positively for the 19th consecutive quarter dating to Q3 2010.

In Q1 2015, the total office square footage, under construction registered 6.3 million sq. ft., down from Q4 2014 to Q1 2015. Construction starts for Q1 2015 totaled 649,674 sq. ft., significant new projects this quarter include Allen Place I in Allen, Connection Park located in Irving, within the Las Colinas submarket, and Platinum Park in Plano in Far North Dallas. The bulk of under construction activity is concentrated in Far North Dallas, with approximately 49.8% of the total pipeline square footage already pre-leased.

20 | REDNews.com

Gross asking rents continued to experience growth, with the overall market average rising moderately to $20.70 per sq. ft. in Q1 2015 from $20.68 per sq. ft. in Q1 2015. Class A rates increased at an especially strong pace, rising from $26.61 per sq. ft. to $27.00 per sq. ft. for the same timeframe.

San Antonio Office, Q1 2015

Asking rates continue to approach record high With the strongest first quarter recorded so far, Q1 2015 posted a positive net absorption of 426,049,553 sq. ft. This caused the vacancy rate to fall a total of 40 bps and close at 15.5%. All but one submarket, the South, recorded positive gains for the quarter. This was led by the Far North Central submarket, posting 160,500 sq. ft., which was followed very closely by the Far North Central (157,418 sq. ft.).

Absorption was positive across all building classes as well, with Class B space, which makes up roughly 44% of the entire market, having largest share of positive net absorption.

The year started off with the delivery of 8100 Potranco to the market, which added 160,500 sq. ft. of office product.

This project was also 100% leased at the time of its delivery by the U.S. Government.

While there were new projects that broke ground throughout the quarter, development still remains active in the market. With just over 760,00 sq. ft. under construction, there is almost roughly 1 million sq. ft. of office product proposed to the city, with most of the space being focused in the Northwest. Furthermore, there are at least three projects that are anticipated to be delivered within the next six months, which would bring over 300,000 sq. f.t of new product to the market.

22 | REDNews.com

After falling from its record high in 2012, citywide average asking rates have been on a steady climb, and Q1 2015 is no exception.

Average rates improved another $0.33 per sq. ft. quarter-over-quarter, posting $20.67 per sq. ft. Class A rates led the charge with a $0.46 per sq. ft. rise, topping $25.00 per sq. ft. mark. Class B product then followed with a $0.15 per sq. ft. increase to $20.27 per sq. ft., and Class C closed the quarter at $16.95 after an $0.11 per sq. ft. rise.

Austin Office, Q1 2015

Citywide average asking rates breach $30 mark • The Austin market delivered 881,095 sq. ft. of new product to the market, representing over a 2% increase in net rentable area.

• Average asking rates experienced a steep increase. Average Class A CBD rates rose to $43.83.

Average suburban Class A rates finished the quarter at $32.39.

• Austin posted a robust quarter for net absorption. 139,236 sq. ft. were absorbed in the CBD and 303,446 sq. ft. were absorbed in suburban submarkets for a combined market total of 442,682 sq. ft.

Five office buildings delivered this quarter.

Two buildings in the CBD, Colorado Tower and the Seaholm redevelopment, delivered 373,334 sq. ft. and 143,151 sq. ft. respectively. The Northwest submarket delivered the 115,000 sq. ft. Champion 1 and the 221,973 sq. ft. Domain 7. The Southwest rounded out the deliveries with the 27,637 sq. ft. Rialto B. At the end of Q1 2015, the Austin market had over 2.8 million sq. ft. of office space under construction. Of that, over one-third had been preleased. As of quarter close, there were 20 buildings under construction in the Austin market. The Southwest submarket has the most buildings currently under construction with 8 being built for 1,123,663 sq. ft. of product. The southwest was trailed by the CBD with 733,389 sq. ft., and the Northwest at 424,115 sq. ft.

24 | REDNews.com

Citywide office average asking rates once again reached a new high in Q1 2015, coming in at $31.66 per sq. ft.

This robust jump was largely explained by three factors. First, the quoted Austin rental rate was a full service gross value.

That means that taxes and operating expenses were included in it.

Taxes increased at the beginning of the year so added increases in Q1 2015 rates were factored in. On top of that, with the success of the Austin market, property values on office product are outpacing broader averages, and thus so are property taxes. Secondly, the delivery of over 880,000 sq. ft. of new product influenced rates. This was a large addition of space with all of it being higher in quality than the market average; thus they were also drawing higher asking rates, pushing the citywide average up. And lastly, Austin has been a competitive market with vacancy low and demand high, resulting in upward pressure on asking rates.

STATE OF THE MARKET ROUNDTABLE REDNews BY: RAY HANKAMER

UH BAUER SCHOOL 2015 SPRING SYMPOSIUM

“Good Times or Bad? Oil Still Makes the Difference for Houston”

Speaker: Robert “Bill” Gilmer, PhD

The outlook is shifting to a longer, deeper downturn, even assuming the national economy continues to strengthen.

•Despite negative news, this downturn is in no way comparable to what happened in the early ‘80s in Houston, when 17% of all jobs were lost

“To serve industry and business in Houston is the aim of the Bauer School…Houston is one of the most interesting economies in the world…the U.S. is now the THE swing producer of oil in the world, replacing Saudi Arabia….we are in a moderate downturn in Houston and it may turn out to be of a longer duration than originally thought”.

The above comments at the beginning of the program certainly got the attention of the 800 attendees.

Gilmer Went On To Say: •For the last 46 years Houston has had the fastest income growth of any large metro area in the United States •Global growth and the ability to create demand for petroleum will be sluggish in the next two years, with China and India leading demand •From 2012-2014 the US increased its oil production from 5 to 9 million barrels per day, upsetting the world markets •The Saudis maintaining low oil prices by not cutting their production helps their friends (US, Europe) and punishes their enemies (ISIS, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Russia) •It is ‘messier’ for US to slow down oil production since it involves so many private companies, while Saudi Arabia’s policies are controlled by one person; nevertheless we have responded quickly with plummeting rig counts •Houston job growth is slower than projected just a few months ago, and this affects absorption of office, industrial, and multi-family space—previous assumptions of a mild downturn were too optimistic •Oil industry job losses cascade through the economy, since there is so much outsourcing-one lost oil job may cause loss of 3-4 outsourced professional and support jobs, as well as lost service jobs at the dry cleaner, the grocer, etc.

•Machinery and fabrication jobs are moving from upstream ones to mid- and downstream ones, as chemical plants see their profit margins growing with cheaper natural gas as feedstock—but these blue collar jobs do not drive as much occupancy of real estate-and some of these are temporary jobs with temporary workers •Houston unemployment rate is still lower than rest of US, but basic jobs here are now in decline 26 | REDNews.com

•Collapse of natural gas prices in late 2011 has been a boon to the petrochemical industry-there is a boom underway on the east side of Houston with $25 billion of construction underway in the ten largest projects

All of this is affecting commercial real estate…

•We continue to see lot shortages for single family houses, but the inventory of homes and lots is catching up •In multi-family, which has benefited from shortage of affordable single family homes, construction starts continue at a high level in Q1 2015, possibly leading to oversupply •Retail, which overbuilt in 2006, is now playing catch-up with all the new rooftops in the Metro Area •Industrial, which has strong occupancy percentages, is caught between the upstream crash and downstream strength, and is harder to predict with the normal indicators •Office has a clear and direct relationship between job growth and absorption-we are seeing sublease space coming available while next door new buildings are nearing completion

Is the East/West Houston split real? Is it blue collar growth versus white collar job shrinkage?

•Close to half the jobs in the energy corridor and the Galleria are in sectors which are at risk because of the drilling downturn •Most of the benefits of the construction boom accrue to the east side of the Metro Area

•The

takeaway from the presentation… There will be several years of slow to modest growth in the Houston Metro Area before a rebound.

New Job Forecast Suggests Lower But Quickly Rebounding Demand for Industrial Real Estate J. Nathaniel Holland, Ph.D. Chief Research & Data Scientist HOUSTON | AUSTIN | SAN ANTONIO

be about 4.4 million sq. ft. with an 80% prediction interval of 2 - 10 million sq. ft. (i.e., 8 out of 10 times absorption will be in this range for this level of job growth). By 2017, absorption will pick up to 7 million sq. ft. with job growth.

Thus, while job growth will decline in 2015 compared to 2014, absorption is not likely to turn negative and will rebound to more positive values in 2017 if not 2016.

Statistical analyses show a significant, but weak relationship in which job growth increased net absorption. Job growth only explained

26% of variation in absorption (Figure 1), which is not surprising given the diverse array of industrial products (e.g., warehouse, distribution, flex, manufacturing) that may vary contrarily with economic factors. Nevertheless, the regression analysis indicates that a change of 10,000 jobs equates with a 6.7% change in net absorption. From the regression analyses, we predict that overall industrial absorption in 2015 will

Net Absorption (millions of sq. ft.)

With vacancy rates at 4.8%, the supply of industrial real estate is at its lowest since 1999. Coupled with the high demand of 2014 and Q1 2015, the fundamentals suggest a strong outlook for industrial real estate.

However, demand, as measured by net absorption, may shift with pullbacks in the oil industry and a slowing Houston economy. Prior forecasts for job growth in Houston in 2015 have been recently downgraded from >40,000 to <15,000, but rebounding in 2016 and/or 2017 to 60,000 to 100,000 new jobs. Here, we use these new job forecasts as an economic indicator to predict how demand for industrial real estate may evolve in 2015, 2016, and 2017.
