More Jobs, Higher Retail Sales, and Great Commercial Real Estate Opportunities in Vancouver, BC
Tags:
(Posted on Nov 18, 2018 at 10:07AM by Danielle Smyth)
According to a recent market update from Marcus & Millichap, more jobs have led to a massive increase in spending power. This means great things for investors in the commercial real estate industry. Unemployment is at its lowest level in 50 years, meaning that consumers have more money to pay for goods and services. This has led to an influx of retailers, particularly in the off-price market (stores like Marshalls and TJ Maxx).The brief from Marcus & Millichap reveals that, in September, core retail sales posted a 5.0 percent year-over-year gain. This number is above the 10-year average of 3.1 percent. One area of particular growth was for clothing retailers, who reported one of the largest annual increases at 8.1 percent. This is particularly noteworthy, since that category’s 10-year average is just 2.1 percent.
What does this mean for investors? Retail stores are likely to continue to attempt to enter the market, and this means that your purchase of commercial space available for lease will likely bear tremendous fruit.

(Posted on Nov 16, 2018 at 01:11PM by Danielle Smyth)
According to a recent report by Marcus & Millichap, this is a great time for commercial real estate investment in Vancouver, BC. This is due in part to the fact that plenty of new retailers have begun to move towards the area. They are interested in Vancouver’s stable population growth and amazing tourism figures (to the tune of 10.3 million visitors last year), both of which help to drive development.In addition, many retailers from all over the world are setting up shop in Vancouver, often the first place they make inroads in Canada. Several high-end companies, such as Tiffany & Co., Prada, Hublot and Van Cleef & Arpels have moved into the area and set the bar very high for other shopping in the city.
There is also a limited amount of space available for commercial investors, which means that the area that is available comes at a premium. There are 2 million square feet of retail space open at this point, and more and more is being zoned for mixed use as things tighten up.

Great things are happening for Marcus & Millichap in Canada.

The CEO of Primecorp, Aik Aliferis, informed news outlets of the deal on October 3, 2018.According to the Ottawa Business Journal, Primecorp was founded in 1998. It is fairly widespread, thanks to offices in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and Gatineau. The organization employs 12 brokers in the area, which makes it the city’s sixth-largest commercial brokerage. Even more impressively, they have closed more than $7 billion worth of deals with clients both large and small. From local businesses to giants of the industry like McDonald’s and Starbucks, Primecorp has done it all.
In the deal, most of the senior staff and advisors of Primecorp will be retained, though there will be some restructuring. For instance, the Toronto and Montreal office staff members will go to work in the United States at the corporate office of Marcus & Millichap.

Marcus and Millichap Report Indicates Good News for Retailers in Vancouver, BC

(Posted on Nov 5, 2018 at 02:02AM by Danielle Smyth)
Trends in the commercial real estate market have led many small retailers to close their doors in Vancouver. According to Marcus & Millichap in a second-quarter 2018 study, the average price of retail property sold in the city this year cost more than $1,000 per square foot. This represents a 25 percent hike from 2017 rates. In addition, the average rent for a retail space is now at about $30.10 per square foot. That’s up almost 10 percent from 2017.According to experts in the real estate industry, however, high and low-end retail, as well as food-service locations, continue to perform well in Vancouver. This is good news for investors, who should be able to attract luxury brands to empty storefronts and charge a premium for the space. Furthermore, the city is actually doing well when compared to elsewhere in Canada. In fact, Vancouver’s retail vacancy rate is 1.7 percent overall, with a 2.5 percent rate in the downtown area. Both of these numbers are well below the nation’s average.

Tax Reform Creates Investment Opportunities in Vancouver, BC

(Posted on Oct 29, 2018 at 03:43PM by Danielle Smyth)
New tax rules have created huge opportunities for investors and companies who work with commercial real estate companies like Marcus & Millichap. It used to be the case that it was ideal for a business entity to own the property where they operated. In many cases, the interest they paid on the location was often tax deductible. Now, however, it’s only possible to deduct interest or loans up to 30 percent of your earnings before taxes, depreciation, and amortization.This means that many companies are now finding it’s more favorable to sell their properties to investment companies and then lease it back over the long term. Generally, a lease is fully deductible over the life of the business arrangement. This will particularly benefit single-tenant retail companies like pharmacies, banks, and restaurants.
There is a lot of opportunity for the industrial sector, too. Thanks in part to the popularity of online sales, many companies are seeking larger industrial production facilities. This can be hugely beneficial for investors. Of course, yields on assets for investors vary widely, and they depend on location and tenant creditworthiness.
