By Joe Gose see GRANDVIEW page 20 I n Grandview Heights, located just outside of downtown Colum- bus, Nationwide Realty Investors' Grandview Yard development is well on its way to realizing the vision set forth by its developer when it broke ground on the $650 million project in early 2009. Recent openings at Grandview Yard include a 92,000-square-foot Giant Ea- gle Market District, an 18,000-square- foot Hofbrauhaus restaurant and German bier hall, a 10,000-square- foot medical retail building anchored by Ohio Urgent Health Care, plus a Panera Bread, a GetGo Gas Station and Wright Patterson Credit Union. But perhaps the most exciting Grandview Yard news was unveiled in late 2014: a 500,000-square-foot corporate campus for Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. that will sup - port more than 3,000 of Nationwide's associates. The new Nationwide campus will include three, four-story intercon- nected office buildings with adjacent parking structures. The first 320,000- square-foot building is currently under DEVELOPMENT RAMPS UP AT GRANDVIEW YARD Nationwide is building a 500,000-square-foot campus at mixed-use site near downtown Columbus. By Randall Shearin Nationwide's corporate campus at Grandview Yard near downtown Columbus will include three interconnected four-story office buildings and adjacent parking structures. P ent-up demand is sparking office as well as retail develop- ment in metro Kansas City amid rising occupancies and rental rates. Build-to-suit construction domi - nated the market after the Great Re- cession, while development of multi- tenant office buildings was virtually non-existent. But two multi-tenant office build - ings are poised to break ground, contingent upon pre-leasing commit- ments, including the 200,000-square- foot, $78 million 46 Penn Centre in the Country Club Plaza. Office developers also have a blue- print to add up to 500,000 square feet downtown and are pursuing rehabs throughout the city. Meanwhile, retail developers are adjusting to stalled construction of new shopping centers that typi - cally chased new rooftops in pre- vious cycles. They're now largely focused on renovating old centers in inner-ring suburbs and building new projects on greenfield or vacant sites within mature neighborhoods. For example, Carson Development continues the build-out of its 1.2- million-square-foot Corbin Park life- style center in Overland Park, Kan. In June, Scheels sporting goods opened at the center, joining Von Maur, Sprouts Farmers Market and other re- tailers and restaurants. Recent investment sales suggest that buyers who have entered Kansas City for better yields are becoming more aggressive — so much so that the owner of Corporate Woods, the mar- ket's premier suburban office park, has put the property on the market. CoStar Group reports that the average cap rate for office properties dropped to 8.5 percent in the first quarter of 2015 from 9 percent a year earlier. In July, Newton, Mass.-based Select Income REIT acquired the 24-story, 595,600-square-foot office tower at 2555 Grand Boulevard in Kansas City Block Real Estate Services expects to begin construction of its proposed $78 million 46 Penn Centre in the Country Club Plaza late this year or in early 2016.

By Lindsey Walker Marcec N ortheast Real Estate Business and Shopping Center Business re- cently held their annual New York Retail Roundtable at the Man- hattan offices of law firm Goulston & Storrs. This year, our participants were bullish about retail appearing in new areas, the strong performance of the new projects that are coming on- line in the area and neighborhoods seeking retail. They had concerns over higher rents, especially in Manhattan, where many landlords' expectations have grown higher than many retail- ers can sustain. Attending this year were: Deborah Jackson, Cushman & Wakefield; Nina Kampler, Kampler Advisory Group; Stephen Stephanou, Crown Retail Ser- vices; Patrick Breslin, Colliers Inter- national; Danielle Brunelli-Albrecht, R.J.

The threat of a recession in China along with the yuan's devaluation has increasingly fueled an Asian appetite for U.S. real estate amid expectations that the asset class provides a safe harbor. Similarly, Canadian, Norwe- gian, Japanese, Middle East and other foreign investment managers are at- tracted to a U.S. economy that, while trudging along, is healthy relative to conditions in other global markets. In the Northeast, direct foreign in- vestors shelled out $11.7 billion for of- fice buildings, apartments, hotels, re- tail properties, industrial facilities and land in the first eight months of 2015, according to Real Capital Analytics, which tracks deals of $2.5 million or more. That was about $1.3 billion less than the same period in 2014 even as total investment sales remained flat at nearly $69 billion in the Northeast. Direct foreign buyers targeted the bulk of their activity in New York City, investing $10 billion in the market in the first eight months of 2015 versus $8 billion over the same period last year, according to Real Capital Analyt- ics. Foreign buyers tapped Boston to a lesser degree, directly acquiring about $1 billion of the $10 billion in com- mercial real estate that traded hands CROSS-BORDER BUYERS STILL HUNGRY FOR U.S. PROPERTIES Foreign capital is particularly bullish on New York, even as sales slowed in the summer.

E ast Coast ports and surround- ing industrial markets have seen increased activity this year and last, and all signs point toward con- tinued growth. While the opening of the Panama Canal expansion next year is expected have a slight impact, other factors are fueling the majority of activity for ports and logistics in the Northeast. Growth & Risk Mitigation Last year, the East Coast ports expe- rienced rapid growth, a whopping 7.6 percent volume increase compared to 3.2 percent on the West Coast. In the Northeast, the Port of New York and New Jersey — the largest port on the East Coast and the third largest in the country — saw its fair share of the pie: The port handled a record volume of more than 5.7 million 20-foot equiva- lent units (TEUs), marking a 5.6 per- cent increase over the previous year. While economic expansion and ris- ing levels of international trade con- tributed to this growth, experts attri- bute the uptick, in large part, to the labor dispute between the Pacific Mar- itime Association (PMA) and the In- ternational Longshore and Warehouse see INDUSTRIAL page 51 A s the market shifts and tenant demands evolve, industrial property owners and develop- ers in Texas are adjusting their ameni- ties and product offerings. One of the biggest developments that will affect industrial property in Texas is the deepening of two con- tainer terminals at the Port of Hous- ton. The Panama Canal expansion is nearing completion and the deeper terminals will accommodate larger ships, meaning more products mov- ing through the Houston area and be- yond. A second development, according to CBRE's Texas Industrial Market- view for the third quarter of 2015, is that Texas land ports have seen in- creased activity and the need for ex- pansion through the resurgence of manufacturing in Mexico. Northbound freight truck crossings through Texas land ports reached a re- cord level in 2014 of 3.4 million, and that number was expected to increase in 2015. The trucks pass through dis- tribution hubs like Dallas, Houston and smaller markets throughout the state. Port's Effect on Houston The downturn in oil prices is be- ginning to affect the Houston mar- ket. According to CBRE, construction starts dropped by 79 percent from the C onstruction of seniors housing properties continues at a rapid pace across the Lone Star State's major metro markets. And though oc- cupancy has lowered over the past year, developers feel the state's grow- ing economy means the properties will lease up once completed. "In general, there's a fair amount of activity in Texas," says Beth Mace, chief economist for the National In- vestment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC). "In some cases it makes me concerned, in other cases not as much because of the strength of the local economy." Market-to-Market Growth Looking at local markets, San Anto- nio has 1,333 units under construction across 12 properties, according to NIC. When complete, these will represent a 17 percent increase in the region's se- niors housing inventory, compared to a national average of 5.2 percent. Occupancy in the third quarter of 2015 for San Antonio was 83.2 per- cent, down from 87.8 percent one year prior. Dating back to 2006, the metro's average vacancy is 89.5 percent. The national average as of the third quar- ter was 90.1 percent. "That's a fair amount of new prod- uct to absorb into the market," says Mace.

With this growing demand, retailers and developers are actively seeking to ex- pand into the seaside county in South Florida. "There is a lot of development op- portunity in Fort Lauderdale, espe- cially with prices in Miami getting ex - tremely expensive and competitive," says Danny Diaz, senior associate in CBRE's Miami office.

"The biggest trend we see is the lack of new development, which has really adjusted the supply side of available new prod- uct," says Patrick S. Donahue, chairman and CEO of Costa Mesa, California-based Donahue Schriber. "The industry has been de- livering about 150 million square feet nationally a year for the past thirty-something years. It is now delivering about 25 million square feet a year since the recession." Donahue attributes this to the post-recession pullback by ma- jor grocery stores and big box retailers. "The major retailers that drove much of the demand have pulled back," he continues. "Just look at the new store open- ings of the Targets and the major grocery chains.
