Life without a smart phone is hard to imagine for many of us. Every answer at our fingertips—any person a few digits away. Technology is intertwined with nearly every aspect of our lives, and yet, few think about the infrastructure that supports it.

Enter, data centers. That is, large groups of networked computer servers used by organizations for the remote storage, processing or distribution of large amounts of information. Chicago Industrial Properties recently spoke with Craig Huffman, Co-Founder &

CEO of Metro Edge Development Partners to find out more about what will be one of the biggest projects of its kind: Metro Edge’s $257 million, 200,000-squarefoot, five-story facility to be built in West Side Chicago.

The project has been a few years in the making. Metro Edge started the process of securing the site in the Illinois Medical District (IMD) a few months after the onset of COVID-19, and from there began working on securing the rights to build. Recently Metro Edge fi-

Solid end to the year: Chicago a top market for new construction and sales volume

Even in the face of a weakening economy, including a potential recession, the year concluded as one of the strongest on record for the sector as demand for space continued to fuel rent growth.

Industrial rent growth maintained its upward climb in markets across the U.S., with national in-place rents for space increasing 6.5% year-over-year, and through port markets led the nation in both new leases and in-place rent growth, Chicago was among the top metros in terms of new construction.

In fact, Chicago is where much of all new supply is being focused—26 million square feet at year-end—along with a handful of other locations including Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and the Inland Empire.

Nationwide, CommercialEdge reported more than 742.3 million square feet (4% of existing product) under construction at year-end, the preceding markets accounting for more than one-fourth.

Not only was Chicago a leader in new construction, but it also led charts in terms of sales volume, with a total of $3.78 billion at the end of November. It was not, however, the only market

in the region to surpass the $1 billion mark: Indianapolis sales totaled $1.19 billion at year-end; the Twin Cities, $1.033; and Columbus, $1.031.

Finally, as for rent growth, it was Detroit that claimed the sharpest rent growth in the Midwest. With rents increasing 6.2% year-over-year, it ended the year as the second-priciest market in the region for in-place leases at

$6.13 per square foot, outpacing the rate of $5.59 per square foot in Chicago. Chicago was No. 1 in the Midwest for new leases with an average of nearly $7.50 per square foot.

But just how long can the region’s hot streak continue? Can the same good fortune be expected from 2023? Buyers and sellers have pulled back in recent months due to a wobbly economy, and new construction starts were pulled back in the final months of 2022, reported CoStar.

That said, roughly 687 million square feet of space is under construction in the U.S.—the fastest pace of growth in more than three decades, based on the company’s latest report—including sizable manufacturing projects by the computer chip industry to drive national economic growth.

CoStar is tracking more than 18 electric vehicle, battery and semiconductor plants scheduled to open across the U.S. over the next few years, which are expected to generate millions of square feet of leasing.

including how to parse truth from tale when it comes to investing in today’s market.

The Concern

Much of the concern has less to do with volatile economic factors, but the lack of clarity surrounding them, Gutierrez said. The economy is murky, and everyone seems to have a different opinion regarding what might or might not happen. It’s true that some of the traditional items the real estate industry looks to are in flux—like the 10-Year T—but no one knows for sure how things will play out. Still, whatever does happen will have an impact, and lenders, in particular, are widening their spreads to give themselves room if there’s an upward shift.

“Because of this, no one knows exactly how to underwrite a deal. From the matrix of traditional cap rate underwriting, if you only took a property’s first-year NOI, the majority of deals don’t pen out in terms of what they’re truly worth. Meaning cap rates as a function may have moved up, due to what’s happening in the economy, but so have rental rates resulting in value to be captured in the future.”

Real estate values haven’t deteriorated, and much of the investment community has shifted their focus to three-year windows as opposed to 12 months because of rent inflation, which Gutierrez said is predicted to continue to significantly inflate as a result of low vacancy and limited supply of space. New buildings are quickly absorbed, as the sector continues to see positive absorption.

“Everyone’s predicting there’s going to continue to be upward pressure on rents, making way for a landlord’s market,” Gutierrez said. “But is that enough to justify the potential cap rate increase? There’s just not enough clarity. No one has a crystal ball, so there’s a little skittishness in the market but property values based on price per square foot continues to be maintained.”

What Sets Industrial Apart

Each sector is different, and thus, it’s fair to wonder if the above economic concerns will have different effects on each. That said, Gutierrez said no. It’s important to focus on the basics and fundamentals.

“Industrial continues to have legs to it,” he said. “It’s a favored sector. Commercial real estate traditionally has been highly levered. Whether its 50–60%, the leverage is a part of the investment and in the low interest rate environment real estate values benefited. We had almost zero cost of capital for many years and even with relatively flat rental rate escalation cap rates con-

tinued to decrease, and lenders spread decreased. Now we are seeing the opposite situation and a lot of cash buyers who see the value due to extremely high rental rate growth and potential to add leverage later. Historically life companies and banks based their interest rates upon the 10-Year Treasuries. The 10- Year Treasuries being a longer-term number and while the Fed fund rates have significantly increased the 10 year doesn’t move basis point by basis point, it does move in tandem to some degree. We did see the 10 Year Treasuries push 3.75%–4% with a 200 basis point spread on it for the lender, lenders are quoting 6% interest rates. A traditional highly leveraged buyer can’t buy deals at 4% yield because the equa-

tion doesn’t work with negative leverage. We have seen the 10-year rate pull back significantly even in the face of rising Fed Funds which have resulted in an inverted yield curve and the 10year T currently at about 3.4%. When the lenders narrow the spreads, you will see debt at sub 5%. With double digit rent inflation leverage deals will trade and strong returns will continue even if the CAP rate move up slightly.”

Now there is a cost, and Gutierrez said the short term objective is to get the industry on the same page. Unfortunately, it is like turning a big ship, it takes time, and slowly, it will turn.

Another thing worth noting is the Fed’s recent adjustment of interest rates but less aggressive, as they’ve scripted a 5% interest rate to offset the risk of flaring inflation.

“I think you’re going to see inflation quickly come into line,” Gutierrez said. “Current inflation isn’t an interest rate issue, but rather a supply issue brought about by the pandemic. It’s solving itself and as supply grows, you’ll start to see downward pressure on price of commodity goods.”

Information Overload

There is so much information out there—every article slightly different—contributing further to the previously-mentioned lack of clarity. When asked for insight by investors with regard to trying to navigate the space in the current market, Gutierrez emphasized patience. 2H2022 came with a lot of speculation and worry, but the fundamentals speak for themselves.

“The fundamentals in the sector are stronger than I’ve ever seen them in my 35-year career,” he said. “Low vacancy, good product, the growth of e-commerce and reshoring are all positive for owners of industrial real estate. We just have to step back. Those of us that have been in the business for long enough realize we need to do our job to increase NOI and, as a result, increase value. It’s important to be patient, pay attention to the fundamentals and remind ourselves that it’s still a strong market.”

"The fundamentals in the sector are stronger than I’ve ever seen them in my 35-year career. Low vacancy, good product, the growth of e-ecommerce and reshoring are all positive for owners of industrial real estate."

The beginning of a slowdown in Chicago?

After a prosperous run, the inevitable is approaching, as the market has started to slowdown.

The signs? Well, Savills’ Q4 2022 Industrial Report found that (1) while vacancy remains well below the long-term average, it has risen for two consecutive quarters, closing the year at 4.6%, and (2) demand seems to be lessening, though asking-rate growth has not yet abated, increasing 3.7% over the quarter to $5.60 per square foot. Rates have risen slightly over the past two years due to strong occupier demand and upward pressure from inflation.

Savills said, too, that another factor with potential to alter market fundamentals is the high volume of construction. After setting the record for ongoing construction in Q3 2022, Chicago beat its own record. Industrial property construction exceeded 38 million square feet, increasing almost 16% in Q4. Impressive, but many wonder whether current levels of construction

are sustainable and if market dynamics will be altered by overbuilding.

Still, Q4 remained just as active in terms of user activity. Tenneco sold and

leased

Regarding e-commerce, it’s not farfetched to say what’s happening within this sector might be a warning sign, according to Savills. Following a recent, yet steady decline in sales growth, Amazon abandoned several existing and planned facilities across North America, and Walmart and Nordstrom, for example, have announced significant layoffs.

Chicago has seen an upward trend of direct space, but a shift in sublet supply has yet to occur, hovering at 4.8 million square feet—below the five-year average of 5.7 million square feet.

All this said, Chicago metrics remain comparatively better than markets along the East and West Coasts, and the sector itself remains one of the safest during this time, compared to office and retail where demand appears to have been more fundamentally altered by the effects of the pandemic.

nalized agreements with Corgan, Clune Construction, Power Construction and Ujamaa Construction to design and build the facility, and the project is expected to have full entitlements within the next few months and break ground shortly thereafter. The facility has already secured 50% preleasing.

The benefits to this type of project are vast, as are the benefits of its future location within the IMD. The Affordable Care Act (2010) required the digitization of medical records, among other things, which sparked the need for this kind of facility. Several healthcare buildings in and around the IMD will utilize the

new facility, but it’s not just healthcare. The high-performance facility will also address the needs of local and regional financial, educational and government organizations.

Technology is the root of it, and it’s no surprise the pandemic accelerated its

adoption. We’re more dependent on it than we were just a year ago, let alone 10. Data centers are the infrastructure needed to support the adoption of new technology. It’s the storage of data, but also the connectivity that supports companies providing basic functions, according to Huffman.

“Regardless of industry, these facilities are an important part of ensuring that technology is reliable and accessible for the masses,” Huffman said.

Chicago, specifically, is a prime location in terms of connectivity, making it especially desirable for this type of venture.

“Chicago is an attractive site because we’re in the middle of the country and have great fiber,” Huffman said. “Fiber and power are the determining factors with regard to whether or not a data

center can be developed in a particular location.”

Yet this isn’t the first of its kind in the area. In fact, there are quite a few data centers around Chicagoland. What sets this one apart? There are few in urban settings, like this one, and as technology continues to evolve, more of this kind are needed. But they’re not cheap, and though demand is greater than supply, it takes years of planning to get them out of the ground.

And while it’s also worth mentioning that these centers don’t create as many jobs compared to other, more labor-intensive facilities, the jobs are future facing—and higher paying. It’s estimated that artificial intelligence will eliminate a substantial number of manual jobs over the next decade, and data centers are part of the new economy. Technology has reduced the number of jobs, but it’s part of the broader societal shift.

The construction of this particular data center will support over 200 construction jobs and, once completed, over 70 full-time jobs in a variety of fields including data center engineers, electricians, tech support personnel, and operations.

Driving forward with a new modern facility.

Principle has been selected to build a new 31,200 SF new truck maintenance facility at 2570 Millennium Dr. in Elgin. The building will house a 15,400 SF warehouse, a 9,800 SF truck maintenance area, and 6,000 square feet of office space. The office area will have five offices, open office areas, a conference room, separate break rooms for drivers, mechanics and office staff, an IT-room, and two multi-fixture restrooms. Principle is also constructing a 972 SF mezzanine storage area and amenities for truckers using the facilities, including showers and rest areas.

What to know about the new Greater Chicagoland Economic Partnership

“Northeastern Illinois is stronger when it works together as one,” is the reason behind the first-of-its-kind economic collaboration to boost shared prosperity throughout Chicagoland.

As stated on the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) website, elected officials from the region recently announced the Greater Chicagoland Economic Partnership between Chicago and surrounding counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will.

Meant to improve the region’s global competitiveness by presenting a common pitch to the outside world, rather than competing with each other, the collaboration will focus on promoting the region’s benefits to build a competitive global identity, according to CMAP.

The group, however, will have a limited time and budget to prove itself successful, with the group staked to get $3

million over a three-year pilot period, during which they hope to (1) generate 150 pro-Chicago area decisions and 500 shared new investment opportunities, (2) create a common pitchbook and

(3) expand the city’s development unit to include suburban work.

WBC will manage the new partnership with other county groups, according to

Crain’s. WBC Executive Vice President of Business Development and Global Strategy Kyle Schulz said officials have learned that cooperation is better than opposition, which has been a roadblock for various projects in the past, like the once-proposed Illiana Expressway.

The list of pros seems never ending.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the partnership also has the potential to stop the poaching of corporate headquarters between the region, citing the city’s history of poaching outlying companies, like McDonald’s from Oak Brook in 2018.

To CMAP, President of CEO of World Business Chicago said: “The Greater Chicagoland Economic Partnership will not only move the Chicagoland forward, but become its distinctive competitive advantage, helping existing firms expand in the region and attract new corporations. The region’s future is bright.”
