CRE SUMMIT MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER

More than three decades since the CRE Summit was first launched, organizers said the event, scheduled for Aug. 25 at CHI Health Center, is more relevant than ever. Event founder Jerry Slusky said current economic conditions and other market challenges rank with anything he’s seen over the past 30-plus years.

“We’ve had eight, nine years of blessed things going on in our lives, like 3-4% interest rates and low construction costs and we built the heck out of America and Omaha and Lincoln,” he said. “Then, all of a sudden, we get COVID, construction prices jumped up at least 20% and we get smacked with these interest rates.

“So where does this stand today? I’d put this one at a six/seven on a 10 scale of severity. This is up there with 1990, ’91, ’92 and we haven’t actually seen all the results yet.”

Slusky said the themes of the 2023 event – including charting the course of the future and building your own capital as a professional – reflect the realities of the local real estate market today.

“The content changes every year to fit the times,” he said. “Each of the subjects we’re tackling this year is a way to educate our CRE professionals, the whole group of them. It’s 900-1,000 people who are all professionals making a living in commercial real estate. They look forward to [CRE Summit] every year kind of like a barometer of where are we at and where are we going.”

Hitting the Sweet Spot

Chris Mensinger, senior vice president at Colliers, said the 2023 summit strikes the right balance by addressing the fundamentals of commercial real estate success through the lens of current market conditions. For example, money will never be unimportant to the process, which is why several presentations will look at ways to finance old and new projects.

“We’ve got a lot of talks that have to do with finance,” she said. “We’ve got a breakout session on creative finance techniques that some people can use in this environment that may

help them build their equity stack. Then there’s a more traditional finance breakout as well.

“We’ve also got a construction project breakout session that talks about how to get things done with the supply chain and the worker shortages. When these were first being put together, we were talking about 3% interest rates and some of the supply chain things had caught up. But the cost of the construction and labor are now adding on to some of those costs, so getting a construction loan is much more complicated.”

Tailoring the Message

Mensinger said the topics are also addressed in such a way that professionals of various backgrounds and experiences can take home something useful.

“We’ve noticed in the last few years that the room has gotten not only younger by age, but also in years within the commercial real estate world,” she said. “So, we’ve got a couple of breakouts where they can pick and choose tables they sit at and sit with some really strong, experienced people in the commercial real estate market who can answer questions about how they are dealing with problems. These sessions are targeted towards people who are a little bit newer to the industry.”

Slusky noted that for as valuable as the presentations are, it is this type of collaboration that many attendees come back for year after year.

“To get a commercial real estate deal done, whether it’s a development or purchase of land or purchase of an existing building with business occupancy, there are many of these trades that get involved,” Slusky said. “From the companies that are doing the survey and the architects to the developers and the bankers, there’s so much collaboration and there’s so much time involved.

“With a market that’s changing, like the one that we’re in right

CRE SUMMIT MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER

now, it takes creativity and a lot of different minds to figure out how we get these things finished. Looking at some of the new developments in town, they’re complicated. For that reason, even though we compete with each other, I don’t feel competition that heavily in our industry. This is a team sport; it is really about moving things forward for our clients and getting things done that are good for our city.”

Leading From the Front

The changing times are also reflected in some of the topics addressing brand-building. These include how to create one’s path through success and failure, the elements of a sound professional reputation and issues surrounding environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG).

“These issues have grown and become much more important,” Slusky said. “What used to be esoteric is not so esoteric anymore. There are lenders who won’t lend unless you’re following ESG guidelines. It is a big deal, and we feel like it’s important for us to identify those issues and incorporate them into the program.”

The conference closes with a look forward to Omaha’s commercial development future which, despite current challenges, appears to be very bright.

“In the near future, there will be a lot going on in the urban core with the developments that are happening along the riverfront,” Mensinger said. “I think housing is going to stay very, very big, especially with the interest rates the way they are. People aren’t going to be able to afford single-family housing, so there’s going to be some more multi-family developments and other opportunities that are going to be really strong.”

“Ten years ago, everyone said, ‘I don’t think I want to come out to Omaha or Lincoln or Kearney,’” Slusky said. “Now they’re flocking here and they’re flocking here because it is a very good part of the country. It’s growing, it’s steady, it’s trustworthy, it’s safe. I think we’re in for some very positive times.

“I think of Omaha as a big ship that’s been sailing very nicely. The seas have been a little rougher now, but boy, we’ve got a lot of momentum. Once these interest rates dissipate a little bit, we’re going to continue to cook. This is a very attractive market.”

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS DEAL & DEVELOPMENT OF THE YEAR WINNERS

Each year CRE Summit solicits submissions for its Deal and Development of the Year awards. This year’s winning projects and transactions have proven to bring economic growth to both Omaha and Lincoln.

Deal of the Year, Omaha: Relocation of Fusion Medical Staffing

Fusion Medical Staffing has seen incredible growth in recent years, growing from approximately 600 associates to nearly 1,000. This type of expansion necessitated a move to a larger building.

The company partnered with Ed Fleming, executive vice president of Colliers, to assist in its search for a property and found the highly visible 115,545-square-foot Waterford West building at 18881 West Dodge Road. Fusion leased all five floors at the location. Aligning with its mission of encouraging health and wellness, Fusion Medical

Staffing also secured additional fitness space on the first floor. Some key building amenities include a large conference area, an outdoor terrace, a Starbucks kiosk, and underground parking.

Fusion is the first tenant of its size in the building along the West Dodge Road corridor, which is experiencing rapid growth in commercial office space.

“This provides a long-term headquarters for Fusion Medical, giving them outstanding signage, location, and a wonderful work environment for current and future employees,” Fleming said. “It’s really about helping our clients drive their businesses forward … and this deal is a perfect example of that. I want to give special thanks to Fusion Medical as they are a fantastic company and have built an incredible culture. Fusion Medical truly understands how providing a best-in-class work environment will continue to propel their business forward for decades to come. It’s been both an honor and a privilege to represent them.”

Development of the Year, Omaha: Brickline at the Mercantile

The former Conagra campus at 10th and Farnam streets has been transformed into a new mixed-use space, with the first phase, the Brickline, now open. The Brickline at the Mercantile consists of a 378-unit apartment project, including 40,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, wrapped around a city-owned parking garage. The $120 million project utilized tax increment financing (TIF) and capital improvement plan (CIP) funds, private opportunity zone equity and local bank financing. Site development began in 2020, with vertical construction starting in 2021. Labor and material shortages slowed progress, but in 2022, the full-

scale project took shape. Apartments were available for rent in February 2023 and by October 2023, the Brickline at the Mercantile is expected to be completed, with all multi-family units and restaurant spaces finished and available for occupancy.

“What had been primarily ’private’ property, and dark after business hours, will now be open and accessible to the community, enlivened with households, restaurants, entertainment options, and access to public spaces,” said Joel Jensen, vice president at First National Bank of Omaha, who assisted in the financing. “The Brickline is a transformative project for the city of Omaha – bringing life back to the Conagra campus and acting as a seamless extension of the Riverfront Park project which was just completed this summer.”

Brad Soderwall, managing director with Hines, led the project.

Deal of the Year, Lincoln: Sale of the Allstate Campus in Lincoln to Bryan Health

The $16 million deal to acquire the former Allstate campus represents one of the last year’s largest sales in Lincoln.

Before the campus was put on the market, NAI FMA Realty was notified. The team contacted long-time client Bryan Health, which was looking for space to expand its clinics and offices. After several months of meetings and site visits, the deal was completed in October 2022.

The campus consists of two buildings totaling 179,090 square feet along with an undeveloped office pad site, all situated on 23.56 acres. The site allows for another 85,000-square-foot building along with 20,000 square feet on a separate portion of the parcel. After the sale, a short-term lease agreement was negotiated and executed between Allstate and Bryan Health to allow for some of the Allstate workers to continue using the space until another space was found.

“In 2016, Bryan Health completed a 10-year master plan, and one of the needs they identified was a centralized facility for business and support functions,” said Richard Meginnis, president of NAI FMA Realty. “Bryan Health continues to grow its health system and patient care in the community and with this purchase, it frees up space at the hospital campuses for more medical clinic space and patient services. Plus, as a large growth employer, Bryan can attract and retain employees with this first-class location that is accessible to employees and nearby existing campuses.”

Alongside Meginnis, the deal was completed by Mike Ball, vice president, sales & leasing, Scott Vyskocil, senior vice president, property management of NAI FMA Realty, and David Barton, first vice president, and Steve Sheppard, first vice president of CBRE.

Development of the Year, Lincoln:

Antelope Tower

It features 17,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor with four additional floors consisting of 93 residential units.

OMAHA BY DESIGN EVENT GIVES OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE CITY

Returning for its second year, Omaha by Design is hoping its Open Omaha event will encourage individuals to get out and explore the city.

From August 5, 2023, through August 6, 2023, over 60 vendors, ending from historic landmarks to creative spaces, will open their doors in a city-wide showcase.

“Based upon the principle of you can’t be what you can’t see, Open Omaha showcases diverse opportunities that exist in the metro, providing behind-the-scenes access that is not often available,” said Maria Brady, director of strategic partnerships at Omaha by Design. “Whether that is taking a print-making class at the Union for Contemporary Arts or volunteering at Kids Can Community Center, Open Omaha opens the doors to incredible ways to deepen connectivity locally.”

The all-ages event is free for all and most venues will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Not sure where to start? Check out the map included or download the interactive app to get suggestions based on what you’d like to explore.

More information can be found at openomaha.org.

Perceptions of Ethical Behavior

Over the past few weeks I’ve encountered a few ethical dilemma scenarios that really gave me pause as I thought through them. They were not life or death scenarios and could easily have been making something out of nothing, or maybe they were something and had yet to be fully realized. As I pondered each of the scenarios, what came to mind is that the ethical implications depended on not only the perceptions of the parties involved, but also the intent and actual outcomes.

Let’s use this as an example - a person wants to make a donation to their favorite charity. However, they wish to remain anonymous. Fairly easy, right? The donation can be listed as an anonymous donation and few would question the ethics of this giving. That same donation could be made to honor another and still be anonymous. Still fairly easy, right? Most nonprofit organizations have defined rules for giving and the IRS has its defined tax code. Now, however, let’s say that the same person donates a significant amount to an organization and does it in someone else’s name without telling that other person. Is this ethical? Maybe, maybe not.

It might be ethical if there is a pre-established understanding between the two parties and there is a history of this arrangement being used in the past. However, there are financial implications for any donation. If there is no understanding, and one person actually makes the donation, but the other person named actually wants the tax credit because it was made in their name, what is the more ethical course of action?

As good as the intention may be, intent alone is not always enough when it comes to ethics. Remember the dilemma about someone stealing medicine for a family member because they are desperate and cannot afford the medication? Or how about in the movie “Aladdin,” where Aladdin steals food to give to other children? Or in the legend of Robin Hood where stealing from the rich to give to the poor is justified because the rich have been taxing the poor too heavily to build the treasury (mostly for the personal gain of a few). Stealing is still stealing

but perceptions of the reason for and impact of stealing shift our ethical judgment.

Another “dilemma” to consider is that of an employee who has unlimited vacation benefits available and uses a large chunk of the time available, but does not engage in, contribute to, or produce the work expected. On one hand, the vacation time is unlimited and available to the employee — no real ethical issues there. However, the vacation time likely comes with expectations that when an employee takes the vacation time, the time will be taken judiciously and work production will be consistent with stated expectations. That employee still needs to remain engaged with the rest of the team. Now we start to see conflicting ethical perceptions. In this scenario, a compounding factor could be the reason for taking the large vacation time. Is the person ill or caring for an unwell family member and has no other means of support to care for them? Or, is the person simply taking a very long vacation and has been abusing the unlimited vacation time privilege?

When considering varying, and sometimes conflicting perceptions of what is the “right” ethical behavior, we
