All sectors of the market absorbed existing inventory, and new construction projects were situated in all areas of Acadiana. Industrial lead the way again, followed by national retailers developing several new projects. New developments along both Interstate corridors in all 4 directions continues.

• Several new hotels have been built complementing existing hotels that have sold and changed their flagships. The Multi-Family sector has added new units, mainly with expansions to existing complexes. The University area has added student housing both on and off campus.

• The Office sector is stable with most of the existing inventory absorbed during the year. No new high rise Office was added in 2014, but a new single story detached Medical Office is being built and sold.

• Residential sales in 2014 surpassed the previous record year of 2013. The residential market has remained strong for the past 5 years in both new construction and existing homes. Days on the market consistently average less than 90 days.

• The market will continue to be driven by the Oil and Gas industry. It will be challenged in 2015 if the price of oil remains less than $60 per barrel. Deep water drilling and natural gas production will be impacted less by the lower pricing. The key factors affecting supply and demand are independence from foreign oil imports because of increased U.S. production and the slow Global economy.

INTERESTING FACT: INTERESTING FACT: Lafayette’s economy has diversified since the last oil crisis in the 80’s and we have four strong industry legs now; Oil, Medical, The University and Technology. Entertainment and Tourism are just for FUN!

• El Paso’s economic activity continues to expand, according to the Dallas Fed. The unemployment rate fell by 1.6% at a much greater rate than 2013. While home sales increased from the year earlier, the median home sales price fell. However, inventory levels have declined. While El Paso Trade numbers fell slightly in 2014, manufacturing and employment in the El Paso/Juarez metro area have improved.

• Retail vacancy rates decreased during Q4 to 4.9% according to CoStar. While quoted rents decreased slightly, rates have increased significantly over the past eighteen months, and certain premium shopping center locations are achieving rental rates in excess of $22.00 per SF per year.

• The strong performance of the Retail sector coupled with much of the Retail properties being controlled by a few owners, a shortage of quality investment properties exists, with owners demanding record low cap rates.

• With Office vacancy hovering just below 10%, the market has tightened. While the El Paso market is enjoying better occupancy than the national average, rental rate growth was lower compared to the national rate. Some significant Office transactions have been reported in the market, showing good demand for Class B and Class C properties that appear to offer a good opportunity for repositioning.

• Mostly due to a couple of large tenants moving out of their buildings (Hoover vacating 423,000 SF, and Electrolux giving up 355,000 SF), the Industrial market took a slight dip in occupancy in Q4 of 2014. However, leasing activity on smaller inventory has been strong enough to reflect a positive absorption, allowing owners to increase asking rents.

• Optimism for a strong 2015 in Vancouver is high. Healthcare, education and government remain the largest employers in the Vancouver/Clark County area. Companies located within the county have access to a labor force of more than a million workers within a 30-mile radius.

• Vacancy has been falling against moderate demand due largely to the fact there was never an overabundance of available space in any sector. Rates have remained steady with lease concessions.

• The most active sector experiencing new construction is Residential. There is very little true speculative Office development.

• The Residential market continues to be hot. Land for Single and Multi-Family development sells quickly at ever increasing prices. Industrial properties remain in strong demand. Commercial development is steady at a measured pace supported by “leases in hand.”

• Multiple jurisdictions in Clark County currently offer fee-holidays on a range of traffic, building, site and engineering permitting, impact and development fees. The developer of a large project could expect to save over $100,000.00.

INTERESTING FACT: INTERESTING FACT: Vancouver offers all the amenities of a big city, accompanied by affordability. The favorable business tax structure and zero personal taxes complement the low cost of living. I-5 connects the area to all the major markets along the West Coast.

• The Gold Coast, located in Southeast Queensland, Australia and defined by its spectacular beaches, hinterland ranges, forests, waterways and vibrant communities, is an outstanding global city, which is proudly looking towards the future.

• Gold Coast holiday markets are clearly back in vogue, as the sun is shining on the Gold Coast, one of Queensland’s largest holiday markets. Industry figures show that the Gold Coast accommodation market picked up in the past peak season after several quiet years due to poor weather and a high Australian dollar. Improvements in the Queensland economy and an increase in tourism from Asia have helped the market.

• Further boosting tourism on the Gold Coast will be new multi-million dollar developments to attract tourists. Among the exciting new developments are the new $1 billion luxury hotel and apartments, “Jewel,” and the Jupiter’s Casino makeover. The project will consist of a luxury five-star hotel and two towers with restaurants, conference rooms and a beachfront park.

• Taking a look at the prospects for Commercial property on the Gold Coast, Australia’s regional cities are increasingly seen by investors as an opportunity to add Commercial property to their portfolio at a lower entry price than in major cities such as Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne. While there are plenty of challenges, there are also plenty of opportunities for the canny investor.

• The quality of local government and business leadership is an element many investors overlook. A push is underway in Australia’s fastest growing city, the Gold Coast, which has seen the introduction of a new light rail service, a new Chinatown in Southport and with lots of employment and development opportunities with the Commonwealth Games in 2018 fast approaching.

International company Flexopack secures 5x5 year lease on a 2,528sqm facility backing onto M1 Pacific Motorway in Yatala.

• The first half of 2014 struggled to gain momentum, mostly due to a slowing of the mining sector resulting in a overall lack of confidence in consumer spending and the willingness for businesses to consider expanding. Q4 of 2014 saw an increase in sale and leasing activity due to progressive increases in consumer and business confidence and forecasts of lower interest rates.

• Construction has mostly been led by private developers with the ability to oversee and subcontract trades to reduce margins and provide viable leasing opportunities for Industrial tenants.

• There is a dramatic uplift in residential towers being pre-sold off the plan to Chinese investors, and “Mum and Dad” investors via self-managed Super Funds.

• The Office market in Perth is the barometer for the State’s economy. The lack of demand is a reflection of Western Australia’s (WA) economic performance. At the same time, Perth is undergoing a spike in CBD Office stock with over 145,000 SM due to come online in 2015.

• Premium-grade buildings were the only category to report a single digit vacancy rate at just over 8%, almost double its rate in July. These results are in line with what the industry was expecting and preparing for.

• Long term, there is great optimism for Perth as the commercial Office market stabilizes. The Office market in West Perth is feeling the pinch. It is anticipated that this will remain steady, with no additional stock coming online in the near future. There will be greater moves for Office building refurbishment, and the government has a role in incentivizing these changes.

• The WA economy is still holding up well and is expected to do so for the medium term at least. Growth in WA’s gross state product has consistently outperformed national GDP growth since 2000, and while it is expected to slip slightly below the national growth rate in 2014-2015, forecasters are tipping a quick return to form thereafter.

• The increased availability of space in combination with softer demand has seen incentives increase in Q2 to an average of 10% in Osborne Park/Herdsman and other non-CBD or suburban precincts, and 25% in the West Perth precinct.

INTERESTING FACT: INTERESTING FACT: Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia (WA). It is the fourth most populous city in Australia, with an estimated population of 1.97 million (30 June 2013) living in Greater Perth.

• Most metro markets in Sydney are seeing declining vacancy rates, driven by continuing tenant demand and a limited supply of stock.

• Residential developments are becoming increasingly popular throughout Sydney, and this is influencing metropolitan commercial markets. Some metro markets have seen a reduction as a result of residential conversions, whilst, in others, development sites that would once have been developed for commercial use are being developed for residential.

• Leasing has been steady across metro markets in the first half 2014. Tenants have been cautious though, seeking to renew leases rather than upgrade. Tenant inquiry has been increasing, and as business confidence grows nationally, greater activity occurred in the second half 2014.

• Lack of new Commercial floor space supply has been inhibiting metro markets with low vacancy rates. Tenants are therefore being forced to consider other locations in order to access stock, in particular, large contiguous A Grade floor space.

• Sydney’s metro markets have experienced a flow-on effect from the rapidly increasing acquisition costs of CBD commercial sites. The influx of foreign investor capital has brought pressure on domestic purchasers to compress their feasibilities.

INTERESTING FACT: INTERESTING FACT: Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia. Located on Australia’s east coast, the metropolis surrounds one of the world’s largest natural harbors, Sydney Harbor. Residents are together known as “Sydneysiders” and constitute the most multicultural city in Australia and one of the most multicultural cities in the world.

• The Office Market in 2014 did not end on a high note. 2015 looks like a continued “Tenant’s Market” as downtown’s core and most suburban markets are experiencing higher vacancy rates. Landlords continue to offer various incentives to attract and retain tenants. The overall vacancy rate is currently at 11.4%.

• With limited new supply and continued demand, Ottawa’s Industrial scene continues to flourish. Rental rates continue to be healthy and are approaching $10 per SF. This trend is expected to continue into 2015 as tenants are looking for quality, well-located spaces with exposure and good access to main highways.

• KRP, Kanata’s largest Office landlord, acquired 7 more Office properties from GM Pension Fund to control over 50% of all Class A and B Office inventory in Kanata. Monopolistic play is expected to cause ripple effects as rental rates are on the rise and inducement packages are in restraint. Expect tenant concerns!

• New Residential high-rise condo developments are slowing as the market becomes saturated. Selective developments are planned over time.

• Ottawa’s new $2B LRT project is under construction with 2.5 KM of tunnel-drilling under the downtown core being active. Landlords are now looking to accommodate access points along the surface. Sun Life Financial Centre is planning a major retrofit for a transit station on site.

• Spain is recovering faster than expected from one of the deepest crises in history.

• In 2015, Spain is expected to be the fastest recovering market in Europe. During 2014 and 2015, foreign investment is flowing to Spain again.

• The crisis decimated the real estate sector, leaving incredible opportunities behind. Investors are taking advantage of these opportunities, which is driving the market upwards.

• The lack of backing from the financial sector and the locals opened the door to foreign investors, who were taking advantage of low prices. The situation has now changed, with Spanish Banks opening financing to the locals. This, together with the ECB support through the new QE programs, will drive the market in the coming months.

• The Residential market in premium areas of Barcelona and Madrid is expected to trend up again in 2015. There is a need for new construction in the downtown areas of Barcelona and Madrid.

INTERESTING FACT: INTERESTING FACT: Spain also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean and a number of uninhabited islands on the Mediterranean side of the Strait of Gibraltar, known as plazas de soberanía (territories under Spanish sovereignty), such as the Chafarinas Islands, Alhucemas, and the tiny Perejil islet.
