Factors Impacting Capitalization Rates

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

I was recently asked to respond to the following question: What factors are taken into consideration when determining capitalization rates on triple-net investment deals?

To answer this question comprehensively, we’d need more time that it will take to analyze tonight’s election results. And what’s worse, we’d probably be just as boring. But let’s give it a whirl–in an abbreviated sense….

 

Triple Net & Send Me the Check!

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

There’s a new player seated at the triple-net investment table, and its ante is being tossed-in from sales of dental floss, shop rags, and Spam to moderate-income Americana. The player, Dollar General Stores (NYSE:DG), is no stranger to the real estate investment community, but until this year its leases had mainly been attractive only to local, regional, or “one-off” purchasers. That changed in early 2010 when DG rolled out its latest investment product—the 15-Year NNN lease. These leases, which require no landlord responsibilities, have attracted sizable attention from institutional and national investors which had previously viewed DG leases as too cumbersome, unpredictable, and/or management-intensive.

Chicago Retail: Good News, Bad News

Friday, May 7th, 2010

From Tom Vincent, CCIM - Chicago, IL | ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com recently reported on the vacancy rate for local retail properties and a rise to 12.1% in the first quarter, up from 11.9% - its highest level since at least the mid - ’90s.

The bright spot: “…in a sign that the woes of the retail real estate market may be easing, landlords’ average asking rents rose by a penny during the first quarter, the first such increase in six quarters.” Even though they are still about 1/3 off their peak, “…the smallest increase in rents may be a sign that the market is poised for a recovery.”

Sperry Van Ness brokers assist in Albuquerque retailer expansion

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

From Walt Arnold, CCIM, SIOR - Albuquerque, NM

Sperry Van Ness brokers Art Paterson and Greg Linde in our office recently assisted Shoe Box in relocating to 4850 Lincoln Road, under 13,500 sqft.

While many corporate retailers are downsizing, theShoe Box have expanded into 13,500 square feet at 4850 Lincoln Road NE, just north of I-25 and Montgomery on Pan American Fwy. They offer wholesale pricing on shoes and accessories to the general public. Partner Greg Stovall credits their success to being able to offer the latest shoe fashions at warehouse pricing. The move was not only to increase exposure from I-25 but make access more convenient for his customers.

BUY COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE NOW: FACT OR THEORY?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

It’s always a good time to buy commercial real estate…really!

The law of supply and demand is changing, more inventory, lower prices right, not exactly! The commercial real estate market has plenty of inventories, but just not yet priced right for bargain hunters. The combination of more commercial real estate inventory on the market coupled with improved financing terms and fewer buyers will create the perfect buying storm!

Why? Although there are plenty of commercial inventories on the market, there are fewer investors buying and seller’s motivations are short of buyer’s expectations.

Opportunistic Retail

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

By Bo Barron

“Opportunistic Retail” - Sophisticated investors refuse to be fooled by the news and the naysayers. As we move into a new economic cycle and a flight to safety mentality drives asset class rotation, opportunistic retail investments abound. In today’s post I’ll share my thoughts on why opportunistic retail is where the smart money is being invested…
