🦧 negative signs everywhere (commercial real estate)

us real estate developers are slowing down and that is a noteworthy signal

these are property developers that lead major office space construction projects. reasons include:

  • economic uncertainty

  • soaring interest rates (less willingness to pour capital into these projects)

  • workers are returning to offices slower than expected

 

earnings calls are also telling us the same thing

  • VNO 0.00 (vornado realty): "there’s increasing uncertainty in the world and tenants are acting accordingly" (q3 '22 earnings call; nov-01)

  • KRC 0.00 (kilroy realty): "there are times to buy, times to sell, times to develop and times such as now to be patient” (q3 ‘22 earnings call; oct-26)

 

some key statistics:

  • the current office vacancy rate stands at 12.5%, up from 9.6% in ‘19 and the highest since ‘11, per costar

  • 37% of the space under development remains available (aka, not yet signed / secured)

    • the figure is more than double the rate in ‘19 and approaching the record 39% in ’08, per costar

  • ~210m square feet of sublease space is currently available, according to costar, a record high since ‘05

 

VNO 0.00 (vornado realty trust), KRC 0.00 (kilroy realty), BAM 0.00 (brookfield asset management)
