Trbo’s Spring 2016 Investment Report – Celebrate!

Craig Trbovich Commercial Real Estate –
Fireworks 003

As the Phoenix leasing market and economy gradually improve and gain strength, so does commercial real estate investment. The industrial sector remains active, continuing an expansion phase started in 2013-2014, ahead of the office and retail sectors, which have transitioned out of recovery more recently. Barring any major negative world events, we should continue celebrating good times over the next 24 months.

 

Take a look below at investment sale numbers for Phoenix with trailing 12 month average comparisons, historical Average Sales Price and Annual Sales Volume charts for each product type.

 

Industrial Warehouse Investment Sales

Industrial investment sales continue to grow and expand as strong leasing has pushed vacancies lower and lease rates higher, maintaining investor interest.  Recent sales include Duke Realty’s 923,908 SF sale to Exeter Property Group for $55.9 million ($61/sf), Presson Corporation purchased a 22 property, 362,068 SF portfolio from Turken Industrial Properties for $16.5 million ($46/sf), and BKM Capital Partner’s 442,173 SF acquisition four industrial parks for $34.5 million ($78/sf).

Office Investment Sales

Office investment sales made strong comeback in 2015 with total sales volume increasing 76% and average price per square foot increasing 16% over 2014 numbers.  Advances in 2016 will likely be less dramatic, but still show positive results as demand continues to expand into suburban markets.  Recent sales include the purchase of the 146,770 SF Gainey Center II by Lincoln Property Company for $35.25 million ($240/sf) from Invesco Advisors; and Miller Global Properties purchase of the 144,959 SF Pima Northgate from ASB Capital for $28.1 million ($194/sf).
