Video: MSCI Research Executive Director Jim Costello Discusses Retail Investment Property Performance & Market Dynamics

The Conversation: Resilience and Revival; Insights from America’s Commercial Real Estate Show

In a recent episode of America’s Commercial Real Estate Show, the show host delves into the dynamic world of retail real estate, offering a comprehensive analysis of current trends and future prospects.  Among the topics are insights on cap rates, performance, sales velocity, new supply, and how rising/higher interest rates are affecting the sector. The episode features Jim Costello, Executive Director of MSCI Research, who provides expert insights into the sector’s performance and challenges. The general focus of this discuss is retail investment property around throughout the United States at large. Thus, observations can apply less to Miami and other South Florida markets.

A Vibrant Retail Property Landscape

The discussion kicks off with an overview of the retail real estate market. Despite some lingering challenges from the past, retail real estate is experiencing a notable recovery. According to Costello, while the total deal volume for April was down 11% from the previous year, there are promising signs of growth within certain sub-sectors. Notably, shopping centers have seen increased activity, driven by smaller, individual deals rather than large corporate acquisitions. This indicates a healthy interest in retail properties, particularly those that offer robust income growth potential.

Historically, the retail market was oversaturated with excess space built during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. However, many of these underperforming properties have been repurposed or removed, leaving behind a leaner and more profitable market.

The Evolution of Shopping Centers

One of the key points highlighted in the conversation is the transformation of shopping centers. Historically, the retail market was oversaturated with excess space built during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. However, many of these underperforming properties have been repurposed or removed, leaving behind a leaner and more profitable market. This reduction in supply, combined with a shift in consumer spending towards experiential and service-oriented activities, has bolstered the performance of surviving retail centers.

Impact of Interest Rates and Cap Rates

Interest rates and cap rates are critical factors in real estate investment. Costello explains that while retail property cap rates have increased due to rising interest rates, the growth has been relatively moderate. This stability is partly due to the rising property income, which helps offset the impact of higher interest rates. For example, retail NOI (Net Operating Income) has risen by 8% compared to pre-pandemic levels, reflecting a strong recovery in the sector.

Mixed-Use Developments: A Recipe for Success

The conversation also touches on the trend of mixed-use developments, which are becoming increasingly popular. These projects combine residential, commercial, and retail spaces, creating vibrant, walkable communities that cater to modern lifestyles. Both the show host and Costello emphasize the benefits of such developments, noting that they provide a built-in customer base for retail tenants and enhance the overall appeal of the area.

Consumer Spending and Economic Stability

Despite concerns about potential slowdowns in consumer spending, the retail market remains resilient. Costello points out that consumer spending typically aligns with personal income growth and that the current economic environment supports continued retail activity. Additionally, the episode discusses the broader economic implications of interest rates, with both experts agreeing that higher rates, while challenging, are indicative of a healthy, growing economy.

Future Outlook for Retail and Office Real Estate

The episode concludes with a forward-looking perspective on retail and office real estate. The show host remains optimistic about the office sector, drawing parallels to the retail market’s recovery. He anticipates that a reduction in new supply, combined with ongoing demand and adaptive reuse of existing spaces, will lead to a resurgence in the office market over the next five years.

In summary, the episode offers a nuanced and optimistic view of the retail real estate sector, highlighting its adaptability and growth potential. As retail properties continue to evolve and adapt to changing consumer preferences and economic conditions, they present promising opportunities for investors and developers alike. The insights shared by Costello underscore the resilience of commercial real estate and its capacity for reinvention in the face of challenges.

Video: RXR CEO Scott Rechler; There’s Been A Day Of Reckoning For Commercial Real Estate Nationally

The Conversation: Navigating the Financial Landscape; A Conversation on the Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

In this interesting, quick-paced, conversation, Scott Rechler, CEO and Chairman of RXR, joins Bloomberg Intelligence to delve into the evolving landscape of interest rates, debt, and real estate, painting a complex picture of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The discussion underscores the industry’s transition through the five stages of grief—moving past denial to acceptance—regarding the reality of persistently high interest rates and their far-reaching implications.

Interest Rates and Market Realities

The conversation opens with a reflection on the industry’s initial optimism last year when the Federal Reserve hinted at a more dovish stance. This optimism was soon replaced by a sobering acceptance that lower interest rates are not on the horizon. The industry now faces the daunting task of managing a trillion dollars of debt maturing this year, with another two trillion in the next three years. Much of this debt was financed at historically low interest rates, which are unlikely to return.

The Impact on Banks and Commercial Real Estate

As institutions adjust to this new normal, they are busy taking appropriate marks and reserves. The discussion highlights the significant impact on banks, particularly concerning commercial real estate. U.S. pensions are already taking write-offs on commercial properties, and more banks are expected to face similar issues. The current scenario is starkly different from the 2008 crisis, where an injection of capital helped lift all values. Today, structural issues between interest rates and property values present a more complex challenge.

The Future of Office Buildings

The fate of office buildings, especially in the post-pandemic world, is a focal point of concern. Office spaces are undergoing revaluation due to interest rates and changing usage patterns. Some buildings are becoming competitively obsolete, necessitating careful selection and strategic adjustments. Banks need to reconfigure loans, equity holders must inject new capital, and properties must be chosen for their potential success in the new environment.

The Multifamily Sector: An Achilles’ Heel

The multifamily sector emerges as a critical concern, particularly for regional banks with heavy concentrations of such loans. Even if the credit quality remains good, many of these loans are underwater due to interest rate increases. Additionally, new supply entering the market exacerbates the situation, creating significant headwinds for the next few years.

Opportunities Amid Distress

Despite these challenges, the discussion also points to potential opportunities. This period could represent a generational moment to be a buyer in the market, provided one is selective and strategic. The key is not just having capital but also the capability to identify properties that can succeed. The approach should focus on creating value rather than relying on a return to lower interest rates.

Addressing the Housing Shortage

A critical issue highlighted is the housing shortage in the country, exacerbated by the financial crisis of the last decade. Conservative building practices post-crisis and the pandemic-driven home-buying frenzy have left the market with an estimated shortage of six million units. This shortage, coupled with less new construction, is expected to continue putting pressure on housing availability and prices.

Strategic Investment: The Digital vs. Film Analogy

In identifying investment opportunities, the conversation introduces the analogy of “digital” versus “film” buildings. “Digital” buildings are those designed for the modern era, fostering collaboration, accessibility, and engagement—qualities necessary for attracting tenants and ensuring success. The strategy involves investing in these digital properties, even if they have broken capital structures, and then fixing those structures to unlock value.

Conclusion

The conversation concludes with a nuanced view of the future. While there are significant challenges ahead, particularly with high interest rates and a looming debt crisis, there are also strategic opportunities for those willing to navigate the complexities. The key lies in selective investment, understanding the evolving market dynamics, and focusing on long-term value creation. As the industry continues to adapt, these insights provide a roadmap for navigating the financial landscape in the coming years.
