ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The Charlotte region continues to gain the
attention of national and international firms by
offering a very accessible market with a low
cost of operation, skilled workforce, and pro-
business climate. The U.S. Census Bureau’s
latest estimates indicated that between April 1, 2012 and July 1, 2012,
Charlotte added 19,662 residents, placing it ninth in population
growth on a numerical basis. The Charlotte region’s unemployment
rate is 9.8%, in-line with the state-wide average, but down from
10.4% a year earlier. The decrease was driven by professional andbusiness services sectors along with trade, transportation and utilities.
CONTINUED MOMENTUMFor the greater Charlotte region, which includes Mecklenburg County
and the surrounding sixteen counties, the second quarter of 2012
recorded leasing activity of 794,511 square feet (sf) in the second
quarter versus 1,212,000 sf in the first quarter 2012.
In our first quarter 2012 Marketbeat Report, we talked about
expecting to see build-to-suits and our first speculative development,
both of which occurred this quarter. Childress Klein properties
broke ground this month on Ridge Creek IV, a 270,000-sf building
with only 25% pre-leased to Averitt Express and the Keith
Corporation announced a built-to-suit project for child-safetymanufacturer, Britax, which will consolidate their operations from
three locations into one 500,000-sf facility.
The Blackstone Group closed on their acquisition of Dexus Property
Group’s $770.0-million industrial portfolio, which included two
Charlotte properties: 9900 Brookford Street and Transwest Business
Park.
OCCUPANCY TO INCREASE IN 2012With rising energy costs, it is our expectation the region will see
increased demand for quality distribution and manufacturing facilities
in an attempt to shorten supply chains and locate closer to the end
user. We are seeing the return of the 20,000 to 50,000-sf regional
users who have been on the sidelines for the past 18 months as well
as a marked increase in manufacturing interest.
OUTLOOK
We expect to see additional build-to-suits announced in 2012 as cap
rates compress, pushing values of modern distribution facilities closer
to replacement value. There will continue to be some level of
disconnect between construction pricing and lease rates for quality
distribution and manufacturing facilities.
Furthermore, we believe after speaking with developers and
contractors alike that we may see another speculative industrial
building started in late 2012 or 2013.
