| REAL ESTATE | Apartment market remains robust

Wilmington’s apartment market is a seasonal one, more so than any other market in the state, according to developer Porter Jones of DPJ Residential.

Jones developed one existing apartment complex in Wilmington, Mayfaire Flats, and has two others in the works, The Flats on Front in downtown Wilmington and 17 Social on South 17th Street.

“The peak leasing season in Wilmington is late spring and early summer and the winter months are the low leasing months,” Jones said Jan. 8. “In the peak months, we typically average around 20 to 30 leases per month but can have months during the winter season with less than 10 leases per month.”

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 was a bit abnormal, Jones said. Spring saw less leasing, while fall ended up being stronger than usual.

“So far, this winter has been fairly slow but in line with previous years,” Jones said.

As growth in the region continues, apartments remain on the rise throughout the Wilmington area, with more units on the way.

Adam Sosne, CEO of McAdams Homes, has developed over 1,000 apartments in the Wilmington area in the past 10 years and is working on more up-and-coming projects.

For one of the company’s most recent developments, site work has begun on the 192-unit apartment component of The Landing at Lewis Creek off Gordon Road. McAdams Homes is also finishing the single-family portion of The Landing at Lewis Creek.

For Sosne, building a certain type of product when it comes to

apartments is important.

“Originally we built student housing, and as we transitioned over the last five, six or seven years out of student housing more into conventional [apartment communities], our niche has been a nice but affordable product,” Sosne said.

One-bedroom units in Sosne’s communities range from about $750 to $950 a month. For two bedrooms the range is typically $900 to $1,200 a month, and the three-bedroom rate is about $1,200 to $1,400.

Occupancy is high in existing communities.

“We still own the Stephens Pointe apartment project [in Scotts Hill]. Since we built that in 2014 it’s always full; very rarely does it ever get below 97, 98% occupied, and then when it does, it leases back up,” Sosne said. “We’ve seen continued demand in that area up there, especially for the product we like to build.”

A Gastonia firm recently bought a Wilmington apartment complex that Sosne developed near Monkey Junction, paying $54 million.

Southwood Realty purchased Belle Meade, a 324-unit complex at 1109 Matteo Drive off Carolina Beach Road.

“Southwood is a first-class organization, and I am confident they will continue to build upon the past success of the community,” Sosne said in a news release about the sale.

Jones said earlier this month that The Flats on Front is nearly 50% leased and construction is expected to be complete by the end of January. The Flats on Front is a joint venture partnership between DPJ Residential and Chaucer Creek Capital.

“Leasing started off slow in March, April and May of 2020 likely due to both COVID-19 restrictions as well as residents having to deal with on-site construction. Since May, though, leasing velocity has really picked up and now that we are completed with construction and our full amenities are coming online, we expect leasing to be strong in 2021,” Jones said.

He said 17 Social’s first units will likely be complete by early summer this year.

“Given 17 Social’s proximity to New Hanover Medical Center, we are excited about the new partnership with Novant Health and the growth prospects that are planned for the hospital,” Jones said.

For Sosne, consistency has been one of the keys to success.

“Everything we’ve done here in Wilmington is the same thing other than the difference between student housing and conventional,” Sosne said. “We’ve replicated over and over again: good location, nicer product with nice finishes and good amenities at an affordable price. Within that model, every time we’ve done it, they’ve leased up right away and they’ve stayed full.”

He said he hasn’t seen occupancy drop below 95% in the past several years.

“We’re seeing it in our multifamily business and our single family business that there are far more people moving to this area than leaving this area,” Sosne said.

Tenant demographics vary.

“Traditionally, you would think of the apartment communities being younger people who are just out of school who have not yet been homeowners and who are renting before they move on to buy a home, and that’s not the case anymore,” Sosne said. “We see a lot of diversity in our tenant types and so we see those young adults who are just out of school who haven’t bought yet, we see people who are new to the area who want to rent to try to get an idea of where they want to live, where they want to buy a house … and then we see a lot of retirees now and people who just want the freedom of not having to own a home.” Jones said what drives demand for apartments is both population and employment growth.

“Although employment growth has not been very robust in Wilmington (compared to Charleston, Raleigh and Charlotte), population growth has been strong in Wilmington,” Jones said.

He said he believes COVID-19 has changed a lot of people’s minds as to where and how they want to live.

“With most folks now working from home, we have seen an increase in people moving to Wilmington from the Midwest and the Northeast who are looking for a lower cost of living, better weather and overall more convenient lifestyle,” Jones said. “If Wilmington continues to be an attractive place for people to move to, I believe demand for apartments, both urban and suburban, will continue to be strong.

“If Wilmington can start seeing some significant employment growth, I would expect demand for apartments to far exceed the current supply.”

| IN THE NEWS | Economist: Recovery depends on vaccine

BY CHRISTINA HALEY O’NEAL

The ability of the Wilmington-area economy to recover from the COVID-19 public health crisis is contingent on the continuation of the vaccination rollout and consumer confidence in timing with the upcoming tourist season.

That’s according to Adam Jones, a regional economist with the University of North Carolina Wilmington, who spoke Jan. 13 during the 29th Annual Economic Forecast presented by RSM and the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce. The presentation this year was held virtually because of the pandemic.

“It’s still cold,” Jones said of the local economy, “but we’re kind of at dawn, and we’re just starting to see the light peek over the horizon. So we’ve got a period of cold left to go before we get back to really being warm again.”

The economy suffered in the second quarter last year when it came to a close due to the virus but has started to bounce back “relatively quickly,” he said. Businesses and the Businesses and the economy have been more resilient through the pandemic than previously predicted. Adam Jones UNCW regional economist

economy have been more resilient through the pandemic than previously predicted, he said.

In June, expectations were that the economy at the end of 2020 would be 6.5% smaller than at the end of 2019, he said. While the final numbers have yet to be released, it looks like the economy at the end of 2020 was about 2% smaller than the end of the previous year.

“My takeaway from that is that our entrepreneurs have been incredibly resilient and creative about thinking of how do they move forward and learn to live with this virus,” Jones said. “Throw in there a record-level stimulus, and we’ve got – while not a good outcome – at least one that’s not as bad as we initially feared it might be.”

The construction, retail and trade sectors and the leisure and hospitality sector are some that suffered at the start of the public health crisis. The construction, retail and trade sectors, however, have recovered more quickly than the leisure and hospitality sector, which still suffers.

Hospitality shrunk by nearly 50% nationwide, Jones said. And nationally and locally, employment in leisure and hospitality remain down about 25% compared to pre-pandemic levels.

“It’s these differences across industries that are going to drive differences across regions,” Jones said. “So Southeastern North Carolina, being heavy in leisure and hospitality, means that we’ve still got a ways to go.”

This is an area of the local economy that has really been lagging and will take time to recover. Part of it is because of policies, but the other aspect is people are not quite as comfortable going out yet, Jones said.

On the bright side, households have banked a lot of extra money, consumer purchases have somewhat normalized and forecasts show pentup demand and mobility could increase with the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, he said.

Jones said it’s predicted that vaccines will be “largely rolled out” in the U.S. in late spring or early summer, based on a vaccine forecast. That’s just in time for peak tourism season in the area, which even through the pandemic last year, benefited largely from drive-in tourism.

Jones expects that drive-in tourism to continue in the 2021 season.

“This pent-up demand for services, fun and experiences are coupled with consumers sitting in a strong cash position where cash is burning a hole in their pocket, [which] means that drive-in markets for tourism like ours are going to do very well,” he said. “So we’re optimistic that we could have one of the busiest summers we’ve had.”
