Construction Impacts
CONCLUSIONS
Source: Transwestern Investment & Data Analytics, Transwestern Investment Group
IDIOSYNCRATIC RISKS COMPICATE THE OUTLOOKTiming & Duration of Shelter-In-Place Orders & Consumer Confidence
Are The Most Important Considerations To Determine
34
Sector Pros Cons
Industrial Low employee-to-square-foot ratios can result in lower health-related disruption to the tenant workforce and productivity
Forced transition to e-commerce among retailers mayaccelerate demand for related warehousing space over the long run
Longer term, on-shoring of light manufacturing may improve absorption of older vintage assets
Markets with high concentrations of retail-oriented industrial tenants may be impacted as tenant demand declines in the near term
In some cases, landlords may undermine one another to secure cash flow amid fewer tenant requirements
Supply pipeline may have more difficult time achieving stabilization
Apartments Single-family housing affordability has likely deteriorated based on higher unemployment, lost wages and lack of down payment
Rent collections have broadly outperformed expectations, though may be supported artificially by PPP and CARES Act
Majority of new construction catered to highly-educated, above-median wage earners, insulating impact to associated rentrolls
Supply pipeline will diminish until property fundamentals and debt markets recover, removing a recent headwind
Moratoriums on rent increases and evictions either governed or taken as best practices (120 days + 30-day notice period)
Some rent rolls may therefore require up to 150 days of delay in ability to completely stabilize
Majority of new construction catered to highly-educated, above- median wage earners, which typically decrease in number in a recession
Shorter-term nature of lease agreements result in more immediatenet operating income declines and higher economic/physical vacancy
Office Cost of building and tenant space improvements to accommodatehealth concerns are relatively modest
Long-duration lease terms provide stable cashflow WALT will continue to be preferred by investors
Space density trends inhibit full restoration of attendance and productivity Coworking firms face deteriorating financials, could add to building vacancy Conjecture over economy and political elections may lead to lower leasing
and related net absorption
Retail Wide labor availability willreduce labor costs to surviving tenants Pent-up demand for “experience” could rebound sharply Grocery-anchored and Healthcare-related properties will benefit
from higher utilization and investor preferences Preleasing requirements and debt availability have limited supply
pipeline, underpinning a bottom in property fundamentals
Increased requests for rent relief or forbearance Heavier weighting to e-commerce distribution channels may accelerate
consolidation plans for brick and mortar space Underwriting capital reserves will increase Bankruptcies will increase physical vacancies Increased competition among landlords will drive occupancy costsdown
Capital Markets Fed intervention has aided market liquidity dramatically Majority of lenders well-capitalized Dry powder concentrated in value-add/opportunistic funds Liquidity availability is broad, and investors are eager to place capital in a
favored asset class
Cost of capital in the debt and equity space still above pre-pandemic norms Bid-ask gap between buyers and sellers has emerged broadly Volumes will remain challenged until property inspections can move forward Economic and physical vacancies are being underwritten, impacting hold period
