FREE WEBINAR: What You Need To Know About Underwriting and Valuing Multi-Tenant Of¿ce Buildings in the Post Credit Crisis Environment Tuesday March 8, 2011 2:00-2:45 p.m. EST, 1:00-1:45 p.m. CST, 12:00-12:45 p.m. MST, 11:00-11:45 a.m. PST • According to a recent article published in the Wall Street Journal on line, “The amount of occupied of¿ce space increased for the ¿rst time in three years during the fourth quarter of 2010”. • According to property research ¿rm REIS, Inc: “Average of¿ce rents rose by 0.2% to $22.09 per square foot, registering the ¿rst uptick since the second quarter of 2008” (but below pre-2008 rates). • While the national average vacancy rate is about 17.6% it appears to be on the precipice of decline. • Additional studies by national and local ¿rms have stated that the of¿ce market has “bottomed out” and that occupancy and rents will start to rise during 2011. • No signi¿cant new of¿ce building construction has occurred in the last two plus years. • There is a pressing need to supply the numerous re¿nancing opportunities that will arise this and next year. • Special Servicers are trying to unload numerous portfolios of of¿ce backed CMBS mortgages. • Many of¿ce properties with signi¿cant vacancies, above market rents and/or substantial amounts of deferred maintenance are also being offered for sale. Those facts have created an increased interest in ¿nancing and acquiring multi-tenant of¿ce buildings. Accordingly, if you are a mortgage lender, purchaser, investor, appraiser or broker you should forget how you underwrote or analyzed of¿ce buildings prior to the summer of 2007 and the “credit crisis”. In 2011 and beyond, knowing how to analyze of¿ce property using current underwriting and analysis standards is critical if you want to avoid over valuing and to reduce the future potential of having to incur unanticipated and signi¿cant additional capital investment or losses. This webinar, while not all encompassing, is a synopsis of the current items that all mortgage loan underwriters, purchasers, investors, appraisers and other analysts should be thinking about, investigating and addressing in their “how to” approach to underwriting and valuing a multi-tenant of¿ce building asset in the post credit crisis environment. Join ¿nancing and valuing expert Bruce Coin, in partnership with Coin Harlan Consulting, (www.coinharlan.com), a learning solutions company, for an educational, engaging and thought provoking 45 minute webinar to hear him share his explanation, views and opinions and answer questions about how to currently underwrite and value multi-tenant of¿ce buildings for purchase or mortgage ¿nancing purposes. Bruce Coin has over 40 years of full time experience in the inter-related disciplines of income property ¿nancing, appraising, development and industry education. He is a former co-founder and CEO of Pro-gressive Mortgage Corp. a 35 year old commercial mortgage banking, brokerage, consulting, appraisal and insurance company correspondent ¿rm. He is currently CEO of Bruce Coin Consulting, Inc., a subject matter expert for Coin Harlan Consulting and an acknowledged income property ¿nancing and appraisal expert.

COMMERCIAL OFFICE PROPERTIES SPOTLIGHT By Bill Durso, CBRE and Jake Terkanian, Nutrisystem

Nutrisystem Shines in global headquarters relocation with focus on efficiency

C

BRE’s Philadelphia Project Management Team, led by Jake Terkanian, was retained by Nutrisystem to assist with the fit-out and construction of the company’s new global headquarters. Nutrisystem signed a 12-year lease for 120,000 s/f at 600 Office Center Drive in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. Nutrisystem, Inc. is the number one home delivery weight loss company offering proven nutritionally balanced programs designed for women, men and seniors, as well as the Nutrisystem D plan, specifically designed to help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight and control their diabetes. With a new senior executive management team in place, a stronger company identity and a desire for an increase in operational efficiency, Nutrisystem embarked on an extensive evaluation of its real estate needs in 2008. At the time, Nutrisystem was a company spread over four buildings in Horsham, PA. The firm was at capacity in one building, closing another and in need of significantly renovating a third in order to accommodate all of its current departments and operations. With some of their leases expiring between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, Nutrisystem decided it was an ideal time to search for a highly efficient, single site to meet the growing and changing business needs of its global headquarters. Working with a local real estate advisor, Nutrisystem performed a KOIZ tax analysis, employee mapping study, labor analysis and site selection in October 2008. In addition, the company engaged Meyer Design to perform a full space program to determine Nutrisystem’s appropriate square footage requirements within their current leased spaces and proposed new locations. The team evaluated many locations within the Greater Philadelphia area relative to Nutrisystem’s space needs, business goals and vision for the future. Knowing that the company wanted to be in a single location and understanding the significant IT investment that a re-location would entail, Nutrisystem collaborated with CB Richard Ellis’ Project Management team

600 Office Center Drive

to establish a comprehensive project budget for review by its Board of Directors. Based on Nutrisystem’s business cycle, the tax and labor analyses and employee mapping, it was determined that all staff needed to be relocated by August 2010. Upon budget approval and confirmation of a 120,000 SF space requirement, Nutrisystem set out to make a final site selection by the end of the first half of 2009. The established timeframe eliminated the possibility of retrofitting any of Nutrisystem’s existing build-

ings as well as any build-tosuit options which would take close to 18 months. With input from Nutrisystem, CBRE developed a fully integrated project schedule that included procurement, construction, fixturing, data center migration, and phased occupancy. The team uncovered a prime opportunity at 600 Office Center Drive, a three-story, Class A office building in Fort Washington, PA allowing Nutrisystem to stay in the same geographic area. CBRE negotiated a landlord turnkey construction solution

where Nutrisystem controlled the bidding process and assigned the awarded general contractor to the landlord. By doing this, Nutrisystem assigned budget and schedule risk to the landlord and focused on internal coordination of business activities with a primary focus on the data center migration. Construction began in January 2010 with a planned occupancy of August 2010. Nutrisystem consolidated its global headquarter operations into a single site and continued on page 4D

COMMERCIAL OFFICE PROPERTIES SPOTLIGHT By Marc Schwartz, Marc Realty

Negotiating leases in a soft market he past 3 years have been one of the most difficult periods in which to negotiate leases for property owners while being one of the best times for tenants. The primary purpose re- Marc Schwartz mains filling space, but at what “opportunity cost” ? Many of my clients recognize

T

that base rent has adjusted in their markets and within their properties by 10-40% since the market peak of 2007. The trap that many owners fall into is locking in a discounted rent today for the next 5 years or longer, thereby leaving rent money on the table (the opportunity cost) and affecting the long term value of the asset. If you believe that the market has turned and better times are ahead for owners (property owners like real estate brokers are forever optimistic about the future); then here are four (4)

key deal pointers to negotiate from the Landlord’s side: 1. Adjust the base rent every 2 years rather than every 5 years and use a property based benchmark such as average building rent or most recent lease rent to make the adjustment. Escalations by the CPI or a flat 3% per year on a discounted rent may not return the lease to a market rent over the term. Watch out for the tenant argument that “the market is down 30%”. Most tenants and others involved in the leasing process have a bias toward the

media headlines which paints the real estate market with a very broad brush stroke. The commercial office market does not move in lockstep with the residential market. 2. Do not include electric and other utilities in the gross rent. All other tenants in the retail, apartment and industrial asset classes pay for utilities so why should office tenants be treated differently? Merging utility costs with base rent distorts the income statement and makes comparisons to industry metrics difficult.

3. Be aggressive and definitive with your lease proposal but offer same with conditions and deadlines. Tenants are notorious for collecting proposals and not acting on them. If you really want to shorten the time it takes to get to a deal, be bold with your offer but insist on an answer by a certain date or withdraw and work on the next prospect. 4. Free rent does not cost you if the space is going to remain vacant anyway. I like to add the free rent period onto the term so that it does not erode the full rental value of the lease term. This is the easiest chip to play and usually meets the tenant’s needs for lower rent up front. Another option to this strategy is to defer some of the free rent into the future, making the tenant earn it. Each lease transaction requires a different approach and should not be forced to conform to some standard or model that may not apply. Talk with your broker and construct a meaningful and realistic offer from either side of the deal. Best of success with your real estate this year.

Greater Reading Office Market Report End of Year 2010 Report

T

he 2010 Greater Reading Office Market was much more active than the previous year although vacancy rates increased throughout the local market. This was due to the majority of Bryan Cole the transactions taking place within the county. The office market continued to experience companies downsizing along with relocating their existing offices to take

advantage of the decreasing rates and the increase in lease incentives. The good news is that there were a number of companies who increased their footprints including The Reading Hospital and Medical Group, UGI, and C&L Group. This is good to see in a market which has experienced less than favorable absorption rates within the past few years. Unfortunately due to a number of companies closing operations locally the absorption rate for 2010 still maintained its negative status, however it could have been

much worse without those companies expansion. The end of year 2010 showed a slight decrease in Suburban class “A” building Vacancies starting at 12.5% in late 2009 and closing at 12.4%, mostly due to a new build to suit for the Reading Hospital and Medical Group, along with companies increasing their footprints at 1 Meridian Blvd in Spring Ridge and The Wyomissing Corporate Campus in Wyomissing. Class “A” buildings have typically been a safe sector in the marketplace because of low inventory; however with

new developments coming on line, and companies looking for lower rents the class “A” sector may see less demand, greater competition and potentially more vacancy. Class “A” rental rates in 2010 remained stable with rates ranging from $15.50 - $16.75 (Triple Net) on the high side; however there was considerable downward pressure on pricing within this segment. The class “B” sector experienced the same issues in 2010 as did class “A”, starting at 13.7% and ending at 13.6%, however while vacancy

rates decreased, rental rates remained steady. Base rental rates within this sector range from $8-9 psf and tops out at $12-13 psf with gross rates coming in around $15-16 psf! Recent absorption has come mainly from expansion of operations by companies already in the market. The downtown area of the City of Reading has seen some new deals consummated, like the Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce, Greater Berks Development Fund and Berks Economic Partnership leasing space at 201 Penn St., the market remains flat due to these companies coming from existing space within the City. Buildings that have seen vacancy for some time, including 645 Penn Street and 501 Washington Street are starting to show some signs of hope due to new management and ownership changes taking effect. Owners and tenants are continuing to struggle with parking costs and security concerns, which are continuing to be addressed by a committed City Administration. Downtown City of Reading vacancy rates continue to increase in late 2010 with rates rising 15.6% to 20.7% in class “B” Product with much of the vacancy continuing to surround large blocks of contiguous space. The City of Reading and economic development groups have been working hard to improve and revitalize Downtown which shows in the number of projects underway. The new IMAX Theater and the nearly completed addition to the Reading Eagle Headquarters in the CBD are welcome entrants to the market and kick off a multi-million dollar main street corridor project that includes a new $67 million Doubletree Hotel and garage project across from the Sovereign Entertainment and Expo Center. This will help attract a more vibrant restaurant and entertainment segment with increased amenities and ultimately assist to bring tenants back downtown while decreasing vacancy rates and increases in the tax base. 2011 is showing signs of hope, with new tenants entering the market place, and rental rates continuing along a steady course upward. Deals will continue to get continued on page 8D

NAI EMORY HILL By Tripp Way, NAI Emory Hill

Delaware market remains emotion-driven

L

ike every North American office market, Delaware has endured its share of hardship over the last 24 months, culminating in the expectation for an improvement Tripp Way in conditions during 2011. In the last six months of 2010, while the average class A vacancy rate dropped 1.4 percent, from 12.5 to 11.1, the quoted Full

Service lease rate increased by approximately 25 cents psf. Class B office, while not experiencing any noticeable change in absorption, has seen an average rate increase of about 35 cents psf. Given that rental rates aren’t experiencing major changes in line with the shift and that no new construction projects have brought increases of square footage to the market in areas seeing negative absorption, it can be surmised that emotion continues to play a role in the market. In fact we are seeing some

class C properties quote full service leases at higher rates than Class B in the same area. While these quotes may not take into consideration landlord concessions, coupling a tendency toward shorter-term leases with the willingness to concede shows that emotions continue to run high. It seems safe to say that uncertainty and moderate pessimism remained the motivating factors for both tenants and landlords throughout the second half of 2010, accounting for some interesting market fluctuations.

A comparison of rental rates from the end of 2009, however, provides some reason for optimism. The past year added nearly one dollar psf to the average class A CBD lease. Class A suburban office space is holding steady at about $23 psf. It was during the second half of 2010 that Wilmington moved against a highly-publicized and widely-criticized tax increase against S corporations. While this may have accounted for some fluctuation in the market, no movements from the CBD were reported as

a direct result. Indeed, uncertainty about taxes, increases in health care costs and other economic factors have taken their toll on transactions. The good news is that there are deals to be found in the market. Landlords are willing to negotiate and an increase in market activity should help to move some of the vacancy while construction remains slow, although interest in projects Tripp Way is principal at NAI Emory Hill. ■

NAI PITTSBURGH COMMERCIAL By Gregory HM Broujos, NAI Pittsburgh Commercial

The strength of Pittsburgh’s commercial real estate market

P

ittsburgh’s commercial real estate market has been stable during the downturn due to a combination of population growth and positive employment trends. The city, formerly a manufacturing strong- Gregory Broujos hold, has been transitioning itself into a center for healthcare, education and energy-related jobs. The Pittsburgh region contin-

ues to experience strong growth and is garnering national applause from all over the country. With unemployment two points below the national average, Forbes.com ranks Pittsburgh second nationally in terms of prosperity and cost of living. Moody’s ranks the Pittsburgh commercial real estate market fifth nationally and states that the multifamily market enjoys a 2.4% vacancy rate, the lowest in the country. In terms of job creation, Pittsburgh ranks 10th according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and CNBC states that the cost of living in

Pittsburgh is 12.2% below the national average. Once again, Pittsburgh’s long-standing commercial real estate market stability proves to be a huge asset, especially after coming out of the most recent recession. The office market and multi-family market remain strong, while retail has made modest gains. The main sectors driving Pittsburgh’s 21st century resurgence are businesses involved in drilling for gas from the Marcellus Shale formation and the continued growth of Westinghouse Nuclear. These

factors, along with the technology sector, which has benefited from Google’s commitment to Pittsburgh’s East End, have worked hand in hand with growth from the City’s colleges and universities. Institutions such as the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon, Robert Morris, Point Park, Duquesne and Chatham Universities have made invaluable contributions to the city. Home to seven Fortune 500 companies, such as Federated Investors, Alcoa, USX, Bayer, Rand and Google, these companies provide an infusion

How Do We Get prepared?

T

wo and a half years ago the world was a much different place. The unemployment rate in Central Pennsylvania was well under 4%. Banks were lending money and unfortunate- Bill Gladstone ly, in some cases were doing so unwisely. New businesses were emerging and people were buying real estate. Life was good. In fact, more people were “living the dream� then compared to now. What was typical and customary then is not at this time. The new ‘norm’ has not yet re-established itself as we patiently watch to see how close we get to the lifestyle we were living once before. Those of us who have lived through these cycles before know this is exactly what it is, a cycle. The good times will be back, however, we do not know how good they will be or when they will return. With the economy, the jobs, the purchasing of real estate, and the starting of new businesses coming back, we would be foolish not to be prepared. We now have time and many of us may be doing less than we were in prior years simply because the business is not there. How do we get prepared? Do we go to the gym and start working out so we increase our physical endurance and outlast the tough times? Perhaps not such a bad idea since the latest survey shows that 42% of the U.S. population will be obese within ten years. But that is not quite what I had in mind by saying “get prepared� for the upswing. There is no doubt that you want to be physically ready to meet the new challenges, but you also need to be mentally prepared so you can take advantage of this cycle when it hits. Start asking, “What can I do to make myself better and make the world better?� One of these concepts focuses on economic balance, the other on social responsibility. If you have immediate responses to these two questions, I would ask you to rethink these answers because I am not sure they are that readily available. Here are

some of the things that need to be looked at introspectively so that the right choices are

Northern New Jersey office and industrial markets picking up steam

T

The Northern New Jersey Commercial Real Estate (CRE) market is undeniably showing encouraging signs of a turn for the better. This market is closely W. Joshua aligned with Levering the national economy which predicts a sustained and long term recovery that will be tied to the rate of employment growth.

The Northern NJ market is an extraordinarily large and diverse marketplace that includes many Fortune 500 firms with a concentration in the pharmaceutical, telecom, financial, insurance, manufacturing/distribution and import and export businesses. In addition, there are many large and prestigious international firms. This Market continues to be highly desirable for commerce and industry due to its accessibility to New York City and its very diverse and educated labor pool. Over the past year, vacancy

rates for ‘A’ quality office space have decreased slowly but steadily. Our statistics indicate a reduction of almost two (2) full percent points from approximately 16% at the beginning of 09’ to slightly under 14% at the beginning 2010. Our research indicates strengthening in leasing velocity and renewal activity, particularly in the last quarter of 2010. Overall, the office sector had a positive absorption, the first since 2007. Rental rates for office continue to be somewhat flat but stable. Class A office average

asking rents were at $26.97 psf with Class B rates averaging $22.50 psf. Landlord and owners continue to offer attractive rent concessions and interior improvement packages, especially for the larger and well capitalized tenants. In the Industrial sector, there is little new construction and vacancy rates are steady. At the end of 2009, vacancies were between from 8-9% compared to the 7.65% vacancy at the end of 2010. Leasing rates also held somewhat steady with average asking rates of $5.75 psf for A and B

That’s why our representatives will regularly partner on projects to lean on each others’ expertise. That kind of interaction is uncommon in our industry, yet it happens every day at NAI James E.

properties, while warehouse/ manufacturing and bulk warehousing rates were averaging slightly less at $4.65 psf. One of the notable changes to the industrial market last year was the large amount of acquisitions by investors and purchases by users. Overall, the industrial building sale activity in 2010 was very positive. We anticipate the industrial market to continue at a very strong pace during 2011 and predict it will be the leading sector of activity in our market. To sum up, the Northern NJ marketplace is ‘seemingly’ headed in the right direction. With owners, landlords and tenants looking to make deals, the activity should continue in a positive manner. Even with an increase in activity, we don’t predict any dramatic changes in vacancy for the office or industrial sectors. A lack of new construction, continued demand for good properties, and interest rates remaining low, all factor for a positive direction for the CRE marketplace in Northern NJ. W. Joshua Levering, SIOR is senior vice president at NAI James E. Hanson. ■

NAI GLOBAL By John Thiry, NAI Commercial Partners

Lancaster County office market he Lancaster County office market has trended in the same direction, but to a lesser degree, than other MSAs in the region in 2010. Both the city and suburban office John Thiry markets suffered negative absorption during the year. Suburban office vacancy grew by 2% to 19% for class A product and a whopping 6%

T

increase in class B vacancy resulting in 22% vacancy for that product class. The story in the city was dominated by the departure of CoreSource from its downtown location leaving a 59,214 s/f negative class A CBD absorption in its wake. At the end of the year, city office vacancy rates stand at 24% class A and 12% Class B. On the plus side, NNN rates have stabilized over the past 4 quarters at $16.50/SF and $11.00/s/f for class A and class B product respectively. Since the office market traditionally lags employment by 6 9

months, recent stabilization and in fact improvement in local jobs numbers are tentatively encouraging for office demand in the later onths of 2011. Lancaster County boasts a slowly lowering unemployment rate currently at 7.2% and when compared to the state average of 8.5% and a national average of 9.1% looks positively rosy. However this cautiously upbeat news must be tempered against nearly 500,000 s/f of supply on the books and an estimated 100,00 SF of shadow space waiting to be expanded into.

The downtown CBD continues to benefit from the recent opening of the Lancaster Convention Center and Marriott Hotel. Other notable projects include the redevelopment of the former Armstrong World Industries and Norfolk Southern sites by Frankin & Marshall College and Lancaster General Hospital into an 80 acre campus for medical, research and development, educational and recreational uses. Amtrak is in the throes of a $12 million station improvement, the city transit authority is adding a much

needed parking garage in the CBD and redevelopment of the former Lancaster Stockyads into a 20 acre business park has been finalized and construction completed for its first two tenants, CoreSource and Cargas Systems. Lancaster remains a vibrant, stable and attractive place to live and work with a first class arts district and a resurgent downtown scene. Office developers are eyeing any positive employment news as an indicator that the current backlog of office inventory will b absorbed sooner than anticipated.
