he commercial real estate market continues its remarkable growth, and local agents expect another profitable year in 2018. This assessment is consistent with findings in a recent report from the National Association of REALTORSÂŽ, Situs RERC and Deloitte predicting trends in the national market.

Commercial addition to Riverside Village

The Report cites factors such as low unemployment and low inflation at the end of 2017, economic growth of 3 percent and an active stock market as just some of the factors contributing to optimism about commercial market prospects this year. Another important variable is nationwide inventory shortages in the residential market that push up prices and squeeze out potential buyers at the low end of the spectrum bolstering demand for more apartments.

Residential Growth Spurs Commercial Sales A robust commercial market always reflects strength in the residential market, and there are several factors at work in our area that keep it that way. UVA and the Med Center in Charlottesville, Mary Baldwin University in Staunton and James Madison and Eastern Mennonite Universities in Harrisonburg add stability to our housing markets regardless of the economy.

And of course, the gorgeous scenery and quality of life variables on both sides of Afton Mountain make living here very desirable, inspiring prospective home buyers to stay for good. Employers recognize the value of locating in a spot that attracts high quality employees. Especially noteworthy is Charlottesvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing high tech sector that attracts its share of Millennials who love the active entertainment and restaurant scene and are also great buyer prospects. Similarly, a strong

manufacturing sector is a powerful force at work in the Valley. Boomers retiring to Charlottesville or the Valley are also a significant part of what makes our real estate market strong. Some have ties to the area and others come out of curiosity after seeing Charlottesville and Staunton both show up on so many of “The Best” lists CAAR’s (Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS®) recently released 2017 4th Quarter and Year End Market Report offers further proof of an active residential market. It shows a year-over-year 4 percent increase in home sales while pending sales (sold but not closed) were up 7.5 percent, signaling the start of a profitable 2018.

Agents are optimistic about the commercial market and expect 2018 to continue to be a time of expansion. “On the sales side the market has definitely tightened up and has flipped to a sellers’ market,” said Benton Downer, Owner and Principal Broker at Downer and Associates. He added that while money is reasonable, there is not a lot of product and that makes buying property a challenge. The market has tightened up significantly on the rental side as well with no new product other than what is slated for downtown “putting landlords

squarely in the driver’s seat,” Downer continued. “The commercial market is as strong as it has ever been,” said Nathan Wickline, Group Manager Sales and Marketing at Charlottesville’s BMC. He added that the market struggles to keep up with demand from “new businesses looking at Charlottesville and existing businesses that are looking to expand their space.” Robin Amato with Real Estate III Commercial Properties called the market “extremely active” keeping agents in her office very busy on both the leasing and sales sides. Office and warehouse space is particularly in demand she offered. The market has been “very strong and very healthy,” said Bill Howard, Broker and President of Real Estate III, Commercial Properties, indicating that much of previously vacant office space is now leased, a real shift. Things are also jumping in the Valley, said Keith May with Cottonwood Commercial adding that a lot of hotels are going up. Part of the hotel boom is increased business travel as the economy expands, but now that we are out of the recession, there is also growing vacation travel as people come to relax and enjoy the natural beauty, outdoor recreation and cultural amenities of the Shenandoah Valley.

The Charlottesville market is “crazy” said John Pritzlaff, Vice President at Cushman & Wakefield, Thalhimer, adding that it is “super active with no real vacancies.” He cited activity on West Main, Preston Avenue and Barracks Road as some of many current commercial market hot spots. Here are a few highlights of our very active commercial market.

Pantops

GENERAL OFFICE SPACE EARLYSVILLE-Approximately 1,100 sq.ft. on ground level, includes bathrooms, private parking, and kitchen with refrigerator, sink and dishwasher. Rental amount is $12.00 per sq.ft. per month.

Steve McLean| 434.981.1863|email:smclean@mcleanfaulconer.com 503 Faulconer Drive, Charlottesville VA 22903 www.mcleanfaulconer.com

A number of factors drive Pantops’ popularity including residential growth, easy access to the interstate, and the presence of Martha Jefferson Hospital that attracts other businesses associated with the health care industry. A good example is the Class A office space at Peter Jefferson Place that includes full service amenities such as janitorial service and utilities—benefits that are especially attractive to national companies with multiple locations, said Lisa Jones, Owner of Pavilion Properties. While many medical offices choose it for its proximity to the hospital, fully 75 percent of Jones’ tenants are non-medical indicating the area has a lot to offer other kinds of companies as well. The Pantops area’s growth is reflected in a recent decision by the Albemarle Board of Supervisors to update the region’s master plan thanks to a

goodly number of new subdivisions, apartment complexes and senior living options as reported by Charlottesville Tomorrow. A good example of this trend is the soon-to-happen groundbreaking for a commercial addition to Riverside Village, a mixed use community of homes, townhomes, villas and condos located at the intersection of Routes 20 and 250. The commercial addition will feature 12 thousand square feet of retail space plus apartments, Pritzlaff said. A big plus for Pantops area businesses is free parking that appeals to customers and employees alike. Jones relayed that even downtown companies that don’t pay for employee parking may incur costs in the form of turnover as workers choose to go elsewhere to avoid the expense and frustration of parking near where they work.

Preston Avenue Preston Avenue with its downtown “vibe” is another rapidly expanding area. Wickline reports that its “proximity to downtown without the parking nightmare,” is a big reason it is so attractive to both businesses and their customers. Coming soon to Preston Avenue is Stony Point Design Build’s redevelopment of the former Monticello Dairy Building that recently received a cer-

tificate of appropriateness from the Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review. The new site will include 30 thousand square feet of retail office space and 50 thousand square feet of Class A office space, Pritzlaff said. Included in the design is a Food Hall that will be home to a variety of food vendors and artisans. One of the big challenges of our current commercial market in Charlottesville is the lack of warehouse space. Redevelopment of sites such as the Monticello Dairy or the former Coca Cola Buildings has put pressure on this market, Amato said, because it displaces existing warehouse tenants. While all of this means more clients for commercial agents, finding space for the displaced tenants (especially if they require small spaces in the two to five thousand square foot range) is especially difficult, she said. One building where space is available is the former Eck Lighting Building on Rose Hill Drive. Amato reports that the owners have recently reduced the price and are now willing to divide

the 25 thousand square foot building into two spaces.

Emmet Street and North Always a busy area, the 29 North corridor continues to grow. While big box operations are struggling, “small shop space retail is doing well,” Pritzlaff said. This phenomenon The Blake

is playing out in the former K-Mart building now being redeveloped as Hydraulic Station, where leasing is going “incredibly well.” He added that the developer will be reshaping the parcel soon. In the Barracks Road area south of the 250 Bypass, a new retail strip at Barracks and Emmet will be open-

ing soon. Lessees that move into the remaining 25 thousand square feet of space will join Verizon, Mod Pizza and CAVA, a restaurant featuring Mediterranean-style food opening its first Charlottesville area location.

Shenandoah Valley Retail is hot in the Valley, May said, describing it as a mainstay of his business for the last several years. He is also seeing rising rents in prime locations. The Valley has a “very diversified economy with a stable agrarian base,” he said adding that manufacturing is very strong there with a work force that is “reliable and highly productive.” It’s not just urban locations that are experiencing retail activity, May explained. General Dollar and Family Dollar are both expanding and opening in small towns. This trend is happening in other parts of our area as well includ-

ing the recent opening of Family Dollar in Madison County and a new General Dollar store in Nelson County on Route 151 on the way to Wintergreen. May is also pleased with industrial growth in the Valley, most of it from the expansion of existing companies. Examples include WhiteWave Foods in Mount Crawford and Draftco in Stuarts Draft. For businesses willing to relocate to the Valley warehouse space is plentiful there. Downer explained that Waynes-

boro space can be obtained at a savings of nearly 50 percent of what you could expect to pay in Charlottesville. Like other parts of our area, the Valley is experiencing inventory shortages in residential real estate that are pushing up prices, May said. Until recently home prices there have been too low to encourage much in the way of new construction. He believes, however, that rising prices will stimulate subdivision development and give buyers the option of building a new home when

what they want in the way of resale is not available. Both sides of Afton Mountain are experiencing impressive growth in commercial real estate of all kinds and the outlook is good for its continued expansion. Residents can look forward to concurrent changes in the landscape that bring more and varied places to work, as well as to shop, eat, live and enjoy a night out on the town.

The location will also offer fuel and a car wash. Gentry explained that he is “very optimistic,” about the market in Greene County.

HARDSCAPING

HOUSE & HOME

FEBRUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 27. 2018 ISSUE 2708

Solves Landscape Problems BY MARILYN PRIBUS

WHILE “LANDSCAPING” IS A FAMILIAR CONCEPT, “hardscaping” may be a new term for some people. What does it mean exactly? Hardscaping uses hard building materials and it’s generally permanent. These materials can involve natural stone, gravel, or boulders as well as manufactured products including pavers, bricks, retaining wall blocks, stepping stones, and edging stone. In some cases, treated timber or even metal is employed.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Problem Solving

Many yards have one or more problem landscaping situations such as steep areas vulnerable to soil erosion, low spots where water collects, areas where heavy foot traffic makes it difficult to maintain a lawn, or poor soil making it next to impossible to have a garden. Here’s where hardscaping can be a great solution. On a steep property, for instance, a retaining wall can level off the slope to provide more useable space because you can develop the level area for a garden or patio. The most popular product for retaining walls is pre-cast segmented wall block which comes in a variety of colors and surfaces. Retaining walls can be complicated and in many localities homeowners must use a certified installer or get a permit depending on the wall’s design. The permit is less about col-

or or materials and more about how much of the property is involved, how drainage will be managed and how the wall will be reinforced and backfilled. Another way to deal with slopes is to create a series of terraces from treated wood or wall block. These terraces can then be planted with low-maintenance shrubbery and sturdy, native greenery. Still another yard problem can be an area where the lawn is defeated by foot traffic or poor soil. In this case, walkways or patio areas can be the answer. Bricks, flagstones, or interlocking pavers are frequently used in these cases. For a more rustic look, some people use horizontal slices of a durable wood. While level hardscape areas may be installed by a landscaper, a reasonably handy homeowner can create these areas with a few tools like a level, tamper, wheelbarrow, and shovel. The subsoil must be replaced by compactable aggregate such as crushed stone, brick, concrete, or other materials. These products are available from most hardware stores and gardening centers and are sometimes commingled with a variety of recycled materials. They should be tamped down well, then covered with a layer of sand before installing the paving materials. A more ambitious and permanent installation would be to embed the walkway materials in cement. Mowing strips around gardens can be made of poured concrete, bricks, or pavers making lawn maintenance easier. If discharge from downspouts is eroding the yard, a bed of stones can deflect the flow. Pavers or stones can also be used to widen an existing driveway or walkway.

Environmental Considerations Drainage is often a problem and hardscaped areas like driveways or large patios can

lead to problems with flooding. A good answer for this is the use of permeable materials. These can be part of a green system to capture and direct storm water back into the ground by allowing it to drain right through the material. Permeable pavers, natural stone, and gravel are environmentally friendly, especially in areas where paving isn’t desirable like a particularly large driveway. In these cases, permeable materials let drainage recharge ground water rather than ending up as runoff into storm drains and eventually waterways. Permeable materials can also reduce property fees related to Charlottesville’s Water Resources Protection Program, which is a response to federal and state mandated regulations to control stormwater runoff and comply with environmental regulations. The program’s funding mechanism is a stormwater utility fee based on the impervious area of each property including rooftops, driveways, parking lots, tennis courts and similar areas. Albemarle County and other localities are also considering such fees.

Just Plain Pretty Water features are another popular form of hardscape and can be well-suited for solving landscaping problems. For example, a low-lying area in a yard could be converted to a fishpond or fountain. Waterfalls with recirculating pumps add a pleasant ambiance to a yard and the sound of splashing water attracts songbirds. Hardscaping can also make a home’s entry more inviting with a curving walkway and handsome brick or stone steps leading to the front door. In areas with poor soil, hardscaping can be used to create raised beds that can be filled with a good gardening medium for flowers, vegetables, and herbs. Solid, level pathways make it easier for persons with disabilities to move around a yard and to use a raised garden. Or how about a fire pit? One family created one starting with an inexpensive stand-alone fire unit on a base of rocks they gathered when they dug up an area for a garden. The fire pit proved so popular, they laid a sand base and replaced the miscellaneous rocks with sturdy manufactured pavers around a much heavier sunken fire ring. Additional pavers delineate the edges of this outdoor “room.” Extra living areas such as an outdoor kitchen with a built-in fireplace, barbecue, and counter area are also popular as are outdoor patios with built-in seating and a fireplace. The bottom line is there are almost endless possibilities for enhancing a property with hardscaping, and these can address problem areas, increase livability, and add yard appeal. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County. A flight of timber-and-flagstone steps runs from the street to their flagstone entryway.
