Brokers Don’t Need To Be Worried About WeWork’s New Leasing Business (Yet)

When a business with the size, money and ambition of WeWork comes onto your patch, you sit up and take notice.

That is why the leasing brokerage community was all ears at the news that the flexible workspace giant had launched a new division, WeWork Space Services, which would provide leasing advice to small and midsize enterprises leaving WeWork space and moving into office space outside of its portfolio.

The service is not a brokerage, WeWork insists. But in providing advice to tenants on their general leasing needs, it is clearly moving into the tenant representation world….   …more

RSK: Don`t worry yet? That is like saying even though you are in the path of a hurricane, don`t worry about it till it hits you. Be prepared people. But in reality, it will only serve a small portion of the market like any other brokerage.

Everyone Is Talking About Adding Resi To Retail. Here’s How It Works In Practice

Adding residential space to retail centres is a hot topic right now.

In its strategy review announced this week, Hammerson said it had set up a whole new division to look at adding residential and other kinds of property use like leisure and flexible workspace to 65 acres around its shopping centres.

And at Bisnow’s Retail Revolutions 2018 event last week, panelists pointed to how residential had been added to a town centre retail scheme in Oslo to help solve the city’s housing crisis, with the added bonus of boosting retail values…   …more

RSK: This is what we love to do and Madison likes it as well. If you have not done it…consider it now. Great for infill projects…anywhere not just Atwood Ave or Monroe neighborhoods.

Is the retail collapse over? Shopping mall owners think so.

  • Foreign brands and “e-tailers” like Warby Parker are helping to fill some of the millions of square feet of retail space that went dark last year.
  • The decline in occupancy rates at shopping centers and malls that marked 2017 has stabilized this year.
  • The retail industry is poised to stage a comeback after several brutal years.

    Bon-Ton, Toys R Us, Sears, Claire`s and Sam`s Club are just a few of the major retailers that have shut hundreds of locations altogether across the U.S. this year, leaving a glut of commercial real estate on the market.

    It`s allowed the few retailers that are still expanding as well as some “e-tailers” looking to plant some roots take advantage of the empty space and cheaper leases.

    The new tenants, filling some of the millions of square feet of retail space that went dark last year, have helped to ease concerns about an uncertain 2018 for shopping center owners.

   …more

RSK: Let`s remind ourselves that the new mall tenants are not necessary retail tenants. Food service, medical, bars and brew pups etc. Even housing has come to the malls.


Why Amazon can`t touch Ross and TJMaxx

As department stores, specialty stores and big box retailers retrench, discount chains are growing.

Ross (ROST), a clothing and home decor chain, recently opened 30 stores and plans to add 70 more this year. It`s aiming for 2,500 stores eventually, up from about 1,500 today.

TJX Companies (TJX), the parent of TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods, is opening 238 stores this year, and Burlington Stores (BURL) is opening up to 40.

The discounters, also known as off-price sellers, are expanding their physical footprints, even as Americans shop more online and most brick-and-mortar retailers pour cash into their digital operations…

RSK: Awe yes…the thrill of the hunt…bargain hunt that is.

It’s the Law!

Effective August 1, 2018, it is illegal to pretend that a pet dog is a service dog in Minnesota. Can Do Canines brought the issue forward in 2017 and the Minnesota legislature voted to institute a new law during the 2018 session. It is now a petty misdemeanor on the first offense and increases to a misdemeanor on a second offense.

Pet dogs do not receive the rigorous training that true service dogs receive. Poorly trained or dangerous imposters are putting the public and legitimate service dogs at risk. Service Dog handlers are regularly confronted about their service dogs access rights. “Fake” Service Dogs contribute to this problem, creating reasons that the public might challenge access for their trained dog…

…A detailed description of the actual law is seen here.

   …more

RSK: Yes, it is not related to CRE but it is a real problem…and my rescue group Golden Retriever Rescue of Wisconsin knows this. Time to have Wisconsin and other states follow suit. If you own, lease or manage real estate you know this has come up so many times and the people are faking that their dog is a service dog to gain entry.

Vegetables: The New Way To Diversify Property Income

Manchester`s city centre rooftops could become a new market garden, a Belfast-based academic is claiming.

Experiments by Andrew Jenkins and Manchester developer Urban Splash have revealed that city centre buildings could be turned into a market garden producing up to 180 million packs of salad a year, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Crops could include lettuces, Swiss chard, chillies, courgettes and even strawberries.

What every startup founder should know about exits

The dream of a startup founder can often be summarized by the following well-intentioned, and mostly delusional, quote: “We’ll raise a few rounds and in a few years we’ll IPO on Nasdaq.”

But a more likely scenario looks something like this:

You invest a few years of hard work to build something of value. One day you receive an acquisition offer out of the blue. You’re elated. And you’re not prepared. You drop everything to focus on this opportunity. Exclusive due diligence starts. Your company is a mess (IP, contracts, burn). Days become weeks; weeks become months. You’ve neglected business and fundraising. You’re running out of money. M&A is now your one and only option. The buyer says they found a bunch of cockroaches in the walls and drops the price. Now what?

   …more

RSK: Going through this now…kind of scary but reality hits.

Developers Use Street Festivals To Attract Business

CHICAGO — It is a Sunday afternoon and Lincoln Avenue is shut down for six blocks from Fullerton and Halsted, north to Wrightwood and Sheffield for the 35th annual Taste of Lincoln Avenue. Over the course of the weekend the festival — one of the largest in the city — transforms Lincoln Avenue into a concert venue, outdoor dining pavilion, retail shop and community gathering space.

Underneath a canopy tent a block from the festival’s southern entrance is a table manned by two young women, loaded with beer koozies and sunglasses, while a cornhole set bakes in the afternoon sun, waiting for people to play…

RSK: Not sold on this at all. Just had Atwood Fest where our offices are located and the people pretty much trashed our property. If they really thought this was a cool neighborhood and want to live and work here why would they do these inconsiderate things? I highly doubt it helped any of the Merchants or Landlords much. I know, a few bad apples do not spoil the whole bunch.

Ken Notes: I think you have to know who to talk to. It would be good to target seniors for downtown condo living space at concerts on the square for example…

Why Arizona Is Building Tiny Homes for School Teachers

The state ranks last in the nation for elementary school teacher salaries. For one rural school district, building a tiny-home community for staffers is one way to address the issue.

Sydney Scharer teaches fifth grade at Senita Valley Elementary School in Vail, Arizona, a small but fast-growing community in the Sonoran Desert southeast of Tucson. The Vail School District spans 425 square miles of adobe-style suburban housing developments sprawling amid the stands of saguaro and ocotillo in the foothills of the Rincon and Santa Rita Mountains. According to Zillow, the average home price is $258,600—and there are no apartments located within district boundaries…

RSK: Great idea period. However, I can`t see living in anything less than 695 sf myself.

Ken Notes: It all depends on your lifestyle. Many spend their time out and about so a bed and a shower is all they need. I lived in a hotel every other week for three years when at KC. Also compared to living out of a car or cardboard box a tiny home is luxury…
