Flattening Yields Stifling U.S. and Philly Industrial Sales Volumes

The U.S. and Philadelphia industrial real estate markets are seeing a shortage of bulk warehouse and logistic centers available for sale along with a shift in focus by industrial REITs from acquisition to development. The resultant flattening in yields will likely produce lower investment sales volumes this year throughout the commercial real estate market – including Philly industrial space.

U.S. logistics and light industrial properties investment sales volumes fell 13 percent year-to-year in the first quarter of 2017, even though billions of dollars have been raised for real estate investment by global funds.

Along with increased real estate allocations in the U.S. and Philadelphia commercial real estate markets by pension funds and other groups, buyers face fierce competition for the few available industrial portfolios and individual assets on the market, according to CoStar’s First-Quarter 2017 U.S. Industrial Market Review and Forecast.

This report on national and Philadelphia industrial commercial properties is being made through Philadelphia commercial real estate broker Wolf Commercial Real Estate, a Philadelphia commercial real estate brokerage firm.

With the shortage of available industrial property on the market, pricing is at record highs across all tiers. “We’re definitely seeing a bit more caution out there” among investors, said Rene Circ, Director of Industrial Research for CoStar. “While we don’t expect investment sales volume to be higher than last year, we do expect there will continue to be far more buyers than sellers.”

Investors in U.S. and Philadelphia commercial real estate properties have become more disciplined during this cycle, and the duration of low interest rates has gradually adjusted the return expectations of industrial investors, Circ said. Rather than chasing riskier assets in riskier markets, investors appear to be accepting lower going-in yields.

“Appreciation and price growth are slowing and it’s going to be very difficult to get further gains from cap rate compression, especially at the top of the market,” Circ added, “but we will still see very significant embedded net operating income growth over the next couple of years.”

One reason for the deceleration in sales volume regarding both national and Philadelphia industrial commercial real estate listings is a reallocation of capital by publicly traded industrial REITs such as Prologis (NYSE: PLD) and other investors from acquisition to development activity.

The industrial sub index of the CoStar Commercial Repeat Sale Index, bolstered by high occupancy and rent growth, logged the second-highest growth rate in the U.S. commercial real estate market – including Philly industrial space – at 2.3 percent during the first quarter, just behind retail, according to the most recent CCRSI release.

Comparing current average investor yields among U.S. and Philadelphia industrial commercial real estate listings with forecasted rental rate growths, such markets as those in the Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando areas, along with Boston and Chicago, are among a shrinking pool that still present attractive buying opportunities for investors, Circ noted.

Construction Not Keeping Up with Demand in U.S. and Philadelphia Industrial Space Markets

new Jason stats graphic - June 2015While huge warehouse and distribution mega-boxes get most of the attention from analysts and institutional capital, the unassuming light-industrial market – both across the U.S. and involving Philadelphia commercial properties – has quietly emerged as the sleeper in today’s red-hot U.S. industrial market.

At midyear, the overall industrial sector, including industrial space in Philadelphia, led all major commercial property types in growth of investment sales and rental rate appreciation. The light industrial and manufacturing subtype between 100,000 to 300,000 square feet, nationally and among Philadelphia commercial real estate listings, boasted the highest year-over-year rent growth of any property type at 5.7%, compared to 5.4% for logistics buildings, 4% for office and 3.9% for apartments.

In fact, U.S. light industrial and Philadelphia industrial space are so hot that even older, lower-functioning buildings — many located on infill properties in supply-constrained markets — posted annual rent growth of 6.1%, the strongest rent growth within the entire industrial spectrum, according to a report from The CoStar Group that is being shared by Wolf Commercial Real Estate, a leading Philadelphia commercial real estate brokerage firm.

Another reason for the spiking rents is that the both the U.S. light industrial and the industrial space in Philadelphia sectors have seen little growth in new supply in the current cycle. Most big-name capital sources remain focused on acquiring and developing mega-logistics properties when searching among both national and Philadelphia commercial real estate listings. These properties are capturing the bulk of industrial net absorption, fueled by the so-called “Amazon effect” of e-commerce as retailers reconfigure their supply chains around same-day or next-day shipping.

Investors may finally be ready to take another look at light industrial development, Philadelphia industrial space and other Philadelphia commercial properties. As rents for these smaller buildings have ticked up, replacement rents now appear to be high enough in many markets to justify new construction.

“Finally, light industrial development is starting to pencil out,” said Rene Circ, CoStar Director of Research, Industrial Property who prepared the report that was shared with Wolf Commercial Real Estate, a top Philadelphia commercial real estate brokerage firm. “The tenants are there, the economy is fine, but the space is not.”

Replacement rents for both national industrial space and industrial space in Philadelphia have been high enough to support construction of larger warehouse and distribution properties on both national and Philadelphia commercial properties for several quarters, and developers have heeded the call. While maintaining a measured pace of development in most markets, logistics construction last year finally passed the average of 120 million square feet under construction annually during the previous expansion cycle between 2002 through 2007.

That said, light industrial construction involving both coast-to-coast and Philadelphia commercial real estate listings has remained stubbornly below its previous cycle average of 40 million square feet under construction annually.

“It’s very unusual for industrial to post this kind of rent growth and beat out the office and multifamily sectors,” Circ said in his report on national and Philadelphia industrial space that echoes the beliefs of the local market experts at Wolf Commercial Real Estate, a highly respected Philadelphia commercial real estate brokerage firm.
