Dear Readers,

Hope you’re having a fabulous summer, doing deals via your cell phone while lounging on a sandy beach somewhere cool. We’ll be taking this issue to Retail Live! in Austin on August 31st and then on to the NTCAR Trade Show with the September issue. Texas ICSC will be November 8 – 10th this year instead of in October so be sure to mark your calendar.

Brandi Smith interviewed Nick Egelanian with SiteWorks Retail after the 2016 Las Vegas ICSC Trade Show and followed up with him again after the show this year. It’s interesting to note that his take on retail evolution is not blamed on the internet but on the consumers’ desire to find something they can’t find locally. In their heyday, catalogs topped out at 8.5% of retail sales, about where the internet is today. And Egelanian points out that Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods is a strong example of the internet turning to bricks and mortar. Derek Pershing, a commercial real estate attorney with Wilson Cribbs + Goren has experience with drones in the US as well as other countries so read what he has to say about “drone rules” under Civil Fair Play.

Next month we’ll be covering the Texas Land Markets so tune back in to read what Caldwell Company and Land Advisors have to say about the market. Enjoy what’s left of your summer! Best Regards,

Reading the tea leaves: Why you can't blame the internet for the decline of department stores BY BRANDI SMITH

“If you add it all up, it's really because it's a fascinating business. You have to know a little bit about construction. You have to know a little bit about finance. You have to know a lot about geography. You have to know a little bit about human behavior. Then, you have to be able to change what you know about it every day.” – Nick Egelanian

August 2017

Do not try to suggest to Nick Egelanian that most brick-and-mortar stores, especially big-box stores, are soon to be a thing of the past. “Big boxes are not downsizing or shutting down. There's a small number of them that are downsizing, but to make a general statement is not really accurate,” he says, instead pointing to the explosive growth of discount stores, such as Ulta, Sephora, Ross, etc. “They're the fastestgrowing part of retail.”

Egelanian’s passion for retail and his impressive background made it no surprise that he was tapped to speak at May’s ICSC RECon in Las Vegas. The topic? Leasing strategies for difficult spaces, a subject for which Egelanian says it’s important to provide context.

“This is the end of a 30-year process of deconstructing the department store. That goes back to the 1970s and '80s when we started to see big-box retail emerge. Big-box retail sought department stores and put them out A leading expert on retail and the Nick Egelanian on the road, allowing the merchants shopping center industry, Egelanian to sell more for less, basically,” he says. “If you look at teaches retail real estate development at the University a chart of the volume of department stores in the past of Maryland. He’s also a faculty member at the ICSC’s 30 years, you'll see that for department stores as an University of Shopping Centers in Philadelphia and industry, the volume has come down from $300 million Riordan School in Miami. He was asked to write the retail or $400 million down to well less than $100 million at chapter of the Urban Land Institute's primary real estate this point. ” book, Professional Real Estate Development, as well. Egelanian got his start in retail in the late ‘80s as the head of real estate for the third-largest bookseller in the U.S., Crown Books. He moved on to a similar position at Zany Brainy a few years later before forming his own company, SiteWorks Retail Real Estate Services, in 1991. Since then, he’s worked all over the country, including site analysis in Dallas, Austin, Houston, Galveston and El Paso. “Retail never stops evolving. Also, there's a lot of misinformation about how it evolves. I found myself attracted to the idea of really studying how it works and why it works the way it does,” Egelanian explains. “Also, it has other aspects that are interesting to me. It's got a geographic element. Every shopping center, every market has a bit of a puzzle that you have to solve and merchandising shopping centers is very interesting. If you add it all up, it's really because it's a fascinating business. You have to know a little bit about construction. You have to know a little bit about finance. You have to know a lot about geography. You have to know a little bit about human behavior. Then, you have to be able to change what you know about it every day.”

Egelanian says that’s a primary indicator that department stores are nearing the end of their retail life cycle. As a result, many of the malls they anchored are also in need of an energy infusion.

“The B and C malls that are out there have already been weakened. These malls were built for trade areas of 250,000 to 500,000 people when department stores were a primary mechanism for delivery of everyday goods,” he says. “Now that that's changed, the primary delivery method of everyday goods is the power center.” There’s also a radical change underway in the apparel industry, Egelanian says. Instead of the traditional two-season fashion cycle, consumers are turning to fast fashion and cheap fashion, available at stores such as TJ Maxx and H&M. Another factor in the decline of malls is their deterioration - not physical deterioration, but structural deterioration. “The structural damage to the model is too great,” points out Egelanian. “You simply can't support the number of malls we have, so that means about 80

percent of them are probably going to go away as malls. Some of them will be recycled into power centers or strip centers. Some of them will be recycled into mixeduse centers.” In other cases, he suggests keeping some parts of a mall, but adding other uses such as office and residential to create a mixed-use environment. “It's a very case-by-case discussion,” Egelanian stresses. “It's nothing like the formula that was used to create 3,000 malls back in the '60s and '70s.” What’s behind these changes? You can’t blame the internet entirely, he argues emphatically, pointing out that only about 8.5 percent of retail transactions are happening online. The majority of those purchases, Egelanian suggests, aren’t made to save money; consumers are looking for something they can’t find locally. He even points out a very recent example of an online retailer investing in brick-and-mortar stores. “There's a tremendously high correlation between the Whole Foods customer and the Amazon Prime customer,” Egelanian says. “Amazon doesn't really make any money shipping its products. It makes money on its web services and it's started to monetize its data, but it does not make money in retail distribution. What was lost in the whole Amazon purchase of Whole Foods is that Amazon bought a bricks-and-mortar retailer.”

Egelanian equates online retail with something many of us have all but forgotten: catalogs. “Catalogs topped out at greater than where internet is right now. They got about 8.5 percent of retail sales in their heyday. People forget that there was a Sears catalog that was three inches thick and it’s the equivalent of today’s internet. Consumers shopped those,” he reminds us. What has changed is quite simple, Egelanian says. Customers have more options and can weigh the value of cost over convenience. That, more than anything else, has changed shopping norms in America. “What's really happened is that the ability to buy your everyday goods, what I call commodity goods, has become a very fluid process in the United States,” says Egelanian. “The consumer has six or seven different choices about where to buy a roll of Bounty paper towels, for example. What they're really doing is subconsciously trading off a lower price versus convenience.” The consumer can buy those paper towels at a drugstore, he argues, or at a Walmart or warehouse store. If you keep that in mind, he says, you will be able to determine where there’s growth and where there isn’t. The new challenge facing the retail CRE market is what to do with the giant spaces those stores leave behind, as well as the malls they anchored. “A big portion of the malls that are out there, perhaps

“What’s really happened is that the ability to buy your everyday goods, what I call commodity goods, has become a very fluid process in the United States.” – Nick Egelanian as much as 75 percent, will not be repurposed as retail,” Egelanian says. “We know that there's about 8.5 billion square feet of retail in the United States. By our estimate, we think that there's roughly 3 billion excess square feet.” He says you’ll find approximately 1 billion square feet of that in regional malls with the remainder coming from fully anchored or unanchored strip centers. “We try to help the people who own these properties to look realistically at what they have,” explains Egelanian. “Depending on what they have, there are different strategies for either anchoring them or repurposing them.” A lot of focus today is on restaurants and attractions, such as theaters or enhanced retail. Whereas most malls devoted less than 5 percent of their space to restaurants when they were built, Egelanian predicts that number to climb to 15 or 20 percent in the near future. “Be open to more options,” he encourages. “Just because it's always been a retail space doesn't mean that's how you have to do it for eternity.”

Going Live! in Austin:

Retail Live!'s founder talks current trends BY BRANDI SMITH After 13 years in commercial real estate in Tampa, Florida, Stacey Gilham made a big move; she packed up and headed to Austin, Texas. “I underestimated the difficulty moving from one major market to another would present,” she says. “I needed a way to get to know the players in the market as well as to better understand the retailers in Texas, which varied greatly compared to where I had come from.” The result was Retail Live!, a retail CRE trade event, which Gilham founded in November 2011. The first show was held the next August in Austin. “Retail Live! presented me with an opportunity to touch nearly every active retailer and broker, landlord and developer in the market,” Gilham says. “It started at a very personal level and to this day guides many decisions: What do I want to see at a trade show? What are some of my frustrations? What kind of connections do I want to make?” From that first show in Austin, Retail Live! has expanded into Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Orlando, providing commercial real estate professionals a cost-effective, yet meaningful way to connect with retailers and industry professionals. As the Retail Live! team gears up for the next event, set for Aug. 31 in Austin, REDNews wanted to check in to see what kind of trends Gilham has seen here in Texas and across the U.S. “Previously, certain categories of retail were seen as undesirable or second-tier. From gyms to family-entertainment concepts in general, those uses were viewed as the

Stacey Gilham back-up plan or ruled out altogether,” Gilham says. “Today, those very tenants that struggled to be placed in traditional developments are now highly sought after.” In general, she says Texas very much reflects national trends, with each market providing its own quirks. Gilham says one of the things she enjoys about working in retail is watching it evolve. “It is always changing. It is no secret that the retail landscape is in transition. Retail development used to be driven by soft goods; entertainment and restaurants were somewhat of an afterthought,” she says. “Today, as nearly any industry publication or professional will point out, the drivers are fitness, entertainment and dining.” Gilham says those shifts can be seen at Retail Live! events; though the number of retailers hasn’t changed, she says the makeup and mix is considerably different than it was when she started the event in 2012.

Reeling in retail: JLL weighs in on Houston trends Matt Parsons, Senior Vice President, JLL

BY BRANDI SMITH

“I certainly believe that restaurants will continue to be a very active sector in retail. Looking at Houston specifically, the LA Times recently came out and declared that Houston is now the most diverse market in the United States.” – Matt Parsons Gearing up for this May’s ICSC RECon, commercial real estate firm JLL told National Real Estate Investor it was sending roughly 300 of its experts to the four-day event in Las Vegas and planned to host more than 7,500 meetings with retailers and investors. The plan is indicative of JLL’s effort to stay ahead of the game when it comes to retail development worldwide. REDNews chatted with Matt Parsons, Senior Vice President within JLL Houston's Retail Services group, to find out what’s happening in the Houston market. REDNews: What got you interested in working in retail brokerage? Matt Parsons: I had a great relationship with a gentleman who made my introduction to a large national retail landlord. I'd always had an interest in getting into the commercial real estate realm and the group that I joined was very much in a growth mode at the time.

Retail just has that exciting component to it; you're really shaping a market’s identity. Also, from the perspective of where I am today, it's just always fun to know what's on the horizon. Sitting at my daughter's soccer games and talking to the other parents, they're always curious. They ask, "What's going on with this development?” and “Who’s coming here?” That really is exciting to kind of have the ability to tell your friends and colleagues what's going on in a market and what the new exciting offerings that Houston or a specific sub market may have to offer. REDNews: Restaurants and development-based clients are predicted to have a big year on a national scale. Do you see the same trends locally? Parsons: I certainly believe that restaurants will continue to be a very active sector in retail. Looking at Houston specifically, the LA Times recently came out and declared that Houston is now the most diverse market in the United States. I think that relays into why there's such a variety of restaurant offerings that are coming to the market; you have such a diverse consumer base here that you can really appeal to a large population base of any background to which you’d like to cater. REDNews: What did you take away from the environment at ICSC in May? Parsons: The energy there was very vibrant and there was a lot of dealmaking going on. There are a lot of new retailers coming online. There has been a lot of discussion about the big box closings, but I think that what gets lost in translation is that most of the chains that are closing stores have been very much aware that they've had problems for decades. Those problems range from over-expanding to having an aging customer base and not necessarily appealing to the new generation. I think the retailers that will survive and push forward are those that are very much in tune with who their customer base is and how to appease that customer

base. Those that turn a blind eye to the experience process of retail are going to have problems. In new modern retail, there's an emphasis on creating a positive customer experience, as well as having a hospitable and knowledgeable employee base that ensures customers both enjoy their visit and leave more informed. I also think that technology is really making an emergence in retail - with retailers and with restaurants. It's really changing the landscape dramatically and I think we'll continue to see technology play a crucial role among retailers and restaurants. Many of the retailers are actually monitoring every individual who is on their website. If there is a period of time that passes during which that individual has not made a purchase, the retailer will start live chatting with that customer. That's just incredible. That didn't exist 10 years ago. Having that one-on-one experience with the retailer, both in-store and online, really helps the consumer make a more intelligent or informed purchase.

REDNews: What kinds of projects is JLL working on currently? Parsons: At the national level of JLL, our focus is staying in front of developers and really making sure that we're aware of what's coming online, from a local market to a national market perspective. Looking across Houston as a whole, there's a wide variety of developments that are coming online or have recently come online. They range from multi-level urban retail development to suburban grocery-anchored power centers.

No Fly Zone!

So you got a drone, now what? Who makes the rules? BY DEREK C. PERSHING WILSON CRIBBS + GOREN

Derek Pershing is a commercial real estate attorney with Wilson Cribbs + Goren and he holds a Private Pilot License and Remote Pilot Certificate.

The Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) is the governing authority over all aspects of civil aviation in the United States. In 2016, the FAA estimated that there were roughly 1.1 million Unmanned Aerial Systems (“UAS”) (a/k/a “drones”) in the United States. The FAA also expects drone usage to triple to about 3.55 million by 2021. Since December 2015, the FAA has required mandatory registration for all UAS which weigh more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds. However, a federal appeals court ruled in May that the FAA does not have the authority to regulate “model aircraft” and require mandatory registration. Still, more than 770,000 drones have been registered in the U.S.—more than double the number of manned aircrafts.

What do you want to use your drone for? UAS or drones typically fall into two categories: (1) commercial use or (2) recreational use. The purpose for which you use your drone will dictate the registration and approval requirements, which can be found on the FAA website. If you’re flying for compensation or to make money, then it’s generally commercial. The main differences between the two categories is that drones for commercial use require a Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) issued by the FAA, while a recreational drone does not require a certification. Commercial use drones also require registration of your drone with the FAA.

Where can I fly? What are the rules? By now, I’m sure you have seen the amazing photos and videos that drones are able to capture from the elevated views, which likely prompted many recreational drone users to purchase one in the first place. Well, getting those amazing photos and videos can be a very difficult task, and in many instances, illegal. Whether flying recreationally or commercially, there are a lot of location and height restrictions on where you can legally fly your new drone. Let’s lay out the basic rules and restrictions on where you cannot fly your drone. 20

August 2017

FAA Limits: (1) The drone must be flown in your line of sight. This is one of the restrictions that are keeping Amazon and similar companies from delivering everyday products to your front door by drone. (2) The drone must fly below 400 feet. The more sophisticated drones will now limit your ability to fly above this and they track your altitude by GPS. However, for older or simpler models, monitoring your altitude is the user’s responsibility. (3) The drone must not fly over people. (4) For recreational drones: the drone must not fly within 5 miles of an airport without prior notification to airport and air traffic control. Sorry, Houston— we have several airports throughout Harris County, which makes finding acceptable areas to fly within the city a little difficult without prior authorization.

Texas Legislature: (1) Do not fly over correctional facilities (jails, prisons, etc.). This was just added in the recent legislative session under H.B. 1424. (2) Do not fly over critical infrastructure facilities (petroleum facility, water treatment plant, LNG terminal, chemical facility, power plant, telecom switching office, commercial ports, railroad switching yard, trucking terminal, gas processing plant, radio or television station, etc.). (3) Do not fly over a sports venue (arena, racetrack, coliseum, stadiums, etc.) which has a seating capacity of more than 30,000 and is primarily used for amateur or professional athletic events. (4) Do not use your drone to spy or capture images of other people without their consent. Although this one is not really location specific, Texas does have a law on the books that makes this a criminal act.

Other Government Organizations: No flying in National Parks, National Monuments, National Battlefields, and other historic sites. This restriction has positive and negative effects. While it is beneficial to keep these tranquil and historic sights quiet and free of disruptions so all visitors can enjoy

them, the negative is that these are normally the best places to use drones for landscape, nature, and wildlife photography. It is clear that preservation of the harmony and peacefulness that nature and the national parks have to offer was paramount in this rule's construction.

Other Countries: I have personal experience with the use of drones in other countries and the approval process can be difficult and frustrating. I was told no drone use several times by the Civil Aviation Authority for Belize until finally getting approved. However, even after approval, I still could not fly over the Blue Hole because it is a World Heritage Site. Likewise, I got approval in Thailand but still could not fly over the sacred temples because of similar status. Cambodia was a no-go for Angkor Wat. Costa Rica was permissible for drone use, but they still require insurance. I highly recommend doing research regarding drone use and the approval process before attempting to take your drone into any foreign country. Customs authority of the country you are visiting can and will confiscate your drone if you do not have the right approval, documentation, or certification. So, do your research.

What airspace am I flying in? The FAA identifies six categories of airspace and controls the space above many people’s property. The FAA Regulation Handbook provides a graphic of the Airspace Classification to better understand the three dimensional nature of airspace. The six categories are: 1. Class A. This is airspace from 18,000 feet to FL (600) [basically 60,000 feet]. This is where most commercial airline traffic flies. 2. Class B (big airports). This space will extend from the surface up to 10,000 feet. 3. Class C (moderate sized airports). This space will extend from the surface up to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation.

6. Class G. This is uncontrolled airspace. It extends from the surface to the overlying Class E airspace– typically from the surface to under 1,200 feet or 700 feet.

Can I fly on Private Property? It’s always been the saying that when you own a piece of property, you own everything within the boundaries from the center of the earth below to the heavens above. As I’m sure you can tell, that age-old adage is not totally accurate. You cannot do whatever you want in all the airspace above your property. So now that you know you generally cannot fly in controlled airspace without permission, you are left to fly in areas of Class G airspace (below 1,200 feet or 700 feet) in areas at least 5 miles away from airports. This can be in public places and parks where drones are allowed or over private property if you have consent. However, if it is not your property and you do not get consent, then you are technically trespassing in the airspace of another person’s private property. Case law across the nation has not yet dealt with the issue of conflicting rights between the trespassing drone user and the property owner that shoots down the trespassing drone. Although the drone user may be trespassing without causing any damage (other than annoyance, nuisance, disrupting quiet enjoyment, etc.), the property owner who shoots down the drone may be found to have committed an intentional tort of conversion (taking or altering someone else’s property in a way that is inconsistent with the rights of the owner). My prediction is that private airspace will eventually give way to a travel air corridor for drone operations— similar to how the FAA created airspace categories historically for commercial aircraft.

4. Class D (smaller airports). This space will extend from the surface up to 2,500 feet above the airport elevation.

What are drones being used for?

5. Class E. This airspace is controlled but is not classified as Class A, B, C, or D.

Drones have grown exponentially in popularity over the last few years. The real estate industry is using

them for surveying, mapping, GIS, flood monitoring, listing/marketing materials, and roof inspections. Other applications include: drone racing (I recently saw this on ESPN), photography, search and rescue, military operations, and police surveillance. Some new emerging areas that can be considered a disruptive technology to existing practices will include: pizza delivery (Dominos Domicopter), snowboarding (getting towed or pulled uphill), package/cargo delivery (DHL/Amazon), air mail delivery (Royal Mail), grocery delivery (Walmart, Amazon, and others), traffic control and management, railroad maintenance, agriculture, mining, first aid, and personal transportation vehicles.

Conclusion The FAA and other governments are trying to catch up on regulations for the growth of the drone marketplace. However, as we know, legislation moves slowly and governments simply cannot keep up with the explosion of drone use in the U.S. and abroad. Until that happens and laws are clearer, do not make any assumptions about where you think you can fly. Download the FAA “B4UFLY” Smartphone App to help you determine permissible locations to safely and legally fly your drone. Check the aeronautical charts to understand what airspace you will be flying in and where the airports are located. There are far more places you cannot fly than places you can fly, so do your research and be responsible. A falling drone can cause serious property damage or physical injury, so be careful. Even though today’s advanced drones can pretty much fly themselves, it is imperative that you recognize how dangerous drones can be and operate them in a safe and enjoyable manner. Stay safe, do your research, and have fun!

ray’s buzz BY RAY HANKAMER rhankamer@gmail.com

A Shady Business:

Houston Developers and Operators-AND our City Fathers- Discover the Sycamore Tree For years the oak tree, so prevalent around Rice University and the Museum District, has been the signature tree of Houston. But the beautiful ‘tree tunnels’ in the Montrose, West University, and Museum District don’t come without problems, as voraciously thirsty iron-hard oak roots heave up sidewalks all over town. The sycamore, a native Houston tree, is much fastergrowing than the oak, providing shade in the summer, and letting the warming sun penetrate its bare branches in winter time. The first cousin of the sycamore, the plane tree, lines many of the grand boulevards of Europe, and other streets as well. Plane trees line country roads all over France and have for centuries.

Back in Houston, owners of retail centers, restaurants, beer gardens, ice houses, wine bars, and mixed-use developments are embracing the sycamore tree and planting them right and left. Allen Parkway between Waugh Drive and the CBD is now lined with rows of sycamores, and they are being planted all over downtown, with the original plantings years ago as part of the Cotswold Project. Today the fragrant leafy sycamores can be seen along Preston Avenue, around Market Square, on Dallas to

Discovery Green, and around the George R. Brown-to name a few locations. Customers can park under and otherwise enjoy the shade of sycamore trees in Highland Village, Carrabba’s Kirby, West University Village, Midway Companies Memorial Green, the River Oaks District, Benjy’s on Washington, 13 Celsius wine bar in Midtown, and many other spots around town. A prominent Houston subdivision developer told Hankamer just this last weekend that when he called his landscape contractor to double his number of sycamores in his recent development near Pearland that the contractor told him that due to high demand he was going to have to work to find additional trees.

Austin:

San Antonio:

•B ooming with all CRE segments over 90% occupancy; 4-5% annual rent growth in all classes, all segments

• Healthy in-migration

•M F and office very strong, with undersupplied housing market ongoing into near future; CBD office rates as high as $56 SF • CBD is attracting mostly office development

Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex: •This megamarket is 7 million people and growing; its economy is very diverse; commercial real estate segments enjoying 2.5% annual rent growth • Huge corporate inbound relocation to North Dallas-1.7 mm SF Toyota; 2 mm SF State Farm; 1.4 mm SF JP Morgan; 1.1 mm SF Liberty Mutual, and many many smaller moves • Frisco and Plano – two northern suburbs – have more office SF than all of Austin • There is some new office development in CBD although there is an overhang of old space as tenants vacate and move to the northern suburbs • Industrial market is huge and getting bigger • The commercial center of gravity in Dallas is moving to the north, where a new CBD of sorts is forming

• T he Domain north of the CBD is attracting high-end mixed-use development and one day ‘may be second CBD’ •M uch of Austin growth focused in tech, which could be vulnerable in a tech downturn; new Oracle campus will have 775,000 SF

• Taking some tech expansion from Austin, due to high rents there • Market diversified after many years of relying on military bases, which have shrunk from five to three • Strong residential starts; high occupancy multi-family (MF) • Downtown starting to attract the attention of Millennials, stimulated by the redevelopment of the old Pearl Brewery into “The Pearl” mixed-use development • Developers starting to bring MF to downtown; high-rise condo living is a ‘new thing’ but catching on quickly

• P roperty tax valuations rising as much as 18% per year

• Rents getting pushed up in all segments

•A s in other Texas cities, urban market is attracting the young with suburban languishing somewhat

• Medical center taking hold and strengthening

• C ommercial development is starting to take hold east of I-35, which has always been a divider of the city •R etail has a lot of older centers and one experienced developer observed that there has not been much innovation lately in retailing [perhaps brick and mortar retailers are the ‘deer in the headlights’ waiting to see the ultimate impact of online selling?]

• Far west is seeing growth now, and the 1604/281 intersection is attracting office development • Redevelopment through infill is complicated due to historic designations all around the inner city

Takeaway: Overall, commercial real estate in the major Texas markets is strong and getting stronger -isolated exceptions.
