•
Central Business District gains momentum with growing interest in residential development; businesses have a renewed interest
in locating in CBD, and new Retail development led by Publix Grocery store is providing much needed community support.

•
The Lakeland-Winter Haven metropolitan statistical area is enjoying strong population growth, now over 630,000 and is growing
45% faster than the rest of the US.
•
Employment is recovering. Particularly notable is expansion of Publix and Mosaic, as well as healthcare and distribution. Limited
new construction means that vacancy is falling.
•
Ramco Gershsenson opened the 211,000 SF Lakeland Park Center shopping center at I-4/US-98. There is continued Warehouse
Distribution expansion including 1,000,000 SF Amazon at County Line Road. Also, there is a new Federal Express warehouse
planned at US-27/I-4.
•
Home sales numbers and prices as well as permit activity are up nearly 20% over 2013. Subdivisions and lots that have been
dormant since the recession began are now ramping up.
•
Lakeland-Winter Haven has a locational advantage as “center of Florida” and the “middle of the I-4 corridor” that fuels increased
Warehouse distribution activity. Prices are lower than Orlando or Tampa, so continued strong demand is anticipated for years to
come.
INTERESTING FACT: Florida Poly, Florida’s 12th university, opened in Fall 2014, creating attention to STEM and related jobs. The
LEDC business incubator in downtown Lakeland is drawing attention and spinning off new businesses. LEGOLAND Florida and

With the recovery of Residential, the Commercial markets are starting to pick up. Prices are up, but are anticipated to increase at
higher percentages in the next two years. Rent rates are also increasing and probably will for several years.

Logistics in Fort Myers; and 25,000 SF to The Ranch. Naples is almost fully leased with limited availabilities in small spaces at
higher rates.

Fort Myers has a vacancy rate of 8%.
INTERESTING FACT: This is a great time to invest in Southwest Florida. There has been little new construction in 6 years. The strong
residential market is expected to drive the demand for commercial and Industrial.

The 2014 Commercial real estate market ended with another record year, much like it began. All sectors of the market absorbed
existing inventory, and new construction projects were situated in all areas of Acadiana. Industrial lead the way again, followed by
national retailers developing several new projects. New developments along both Interstate corridors in all 4 directions continues.
•
Several new hotels have been built complementing existing hotels that have sold and changed their flagships. The Multi-Family
sector has added new units, mainly with expansions to existing complexes. The University area has added student housing both on
and off campus.
•
The Office sector is stable with most of the existing inventory absorbed during the year. No new high rise Office was added in 2014,
but a new single story detached Medical Office is being built and sold.
•
Residential sales in 2014 surpassed the previous record year of 2013. The residential market has remained strong for the past 5
years in both new construction and existing homes. Days on the market consistently average less than 90 days.
•
The market will continue to be driven by the Oil and Gas industry. It will be challenged in 2015 if the price of oil remains less than
$60 per barrel. Deep water drilling and natural gas production will be impacted less by the lower pricing. The key factors affecting
supply and demand are independence from foreign oil imports because of increased U.S. production and the slow Global economy.
INTERESTING FACT: Lafayette’s economy has diversified since the last oil crisis in the 80’s and we have four strong industry legs now;
Oil, Medical, The University and Technology. Entertainment and Tourism are just for FUN!

El Paso’s economic activity continues to expand, according to the Dallas Fed. The unemployment rate fell by 1.6% at a much
greater rate than 2013. While home sales increased from the year earlier, the median home sales price fell. However, inventory
levels have declined. While El Paso Trade numbers fell slightly in 2014, manufacturing and employment in the El Paso/Juarez
metro area have improved.
•
Retail vacancy rates decreased during Q4 to 4.9% according to CoStar. While quoted rents decreased slightly, rates have
increased significantly over the past eighteen months, and certain premium shopping center locations are achieving rental rates
in excess of $22.00 per SF per year.
•
The strong performance of the Retail sector coupled with much of the Retail properties being controlled by a few owners, a
shortage of quality investment properties exists, with owners demanding record low cap rates.
•
With Office vacancy hovering just below 10%, the market has tightened. While the El Paso market is enjoying better occupancy
than the national average, rental rate growth was lower compared to the national rate. Some significant Office transactions have
been reported in the market, showing good demand for Class B and Class C properties that appear to offer a good opportunity for
repositioning.
•
Mostly due to a couple of large tenants moving out of their buildings (Hoover vacating 423,000 SF, and Electrolux giving up 355,000
SF), the Industrial market took a slight dip in occupancy in Q4 of 2014. However, leasing activity on smaller inventory has been
strong enough to reflect a positive absorption, allowing owners to increase asking rents.

Optimism for a strong 2015 in Vancouver is high. Healthcare, education and government remain the largest employers in the
Vancouver/Clark County area. Companies located within the county have access to a labor force of more than a million workers
within a 30-mile radius.
•

impact and development fees. The developer of a large project could expect to save over $100,000.00.
The Residential market continues to be hot. Land for Single and Multi-Family development sells quickly at ever increasing prices.
Industrial properties remain in strong demand. Commercial development is steady at a measured pace supported by “leases in
hand.”

Vacancy is falling due to business confidence, the global economy, and lending issues.
The Asian investment sector in Brisbane is performing well, releasing greater return rates compared to investments in Asia.
Lending rates are at a record low of around 5%, which is also providing a favorable environment.
As motor trade businesses are not performing as expected, developers are taking the opportunity to secure sites they once
occupied for development opportunities.

The first half of 2014 struggled to gain momentum, mostly due to a slowing of the mining sector resulting in a overall lack of

Gold Coast holiday markets are clearly back in vogue, as the sun is shining on the Gold Coast, one of Queensland’s largest holiday
markets. Industry figures show that the Gold Coast accommodation market picked up in the past peak season after several quiet
years due to poor weather and a high Australian dollar. Improvements in the Queensland economy and an increase in tourism
from Asia have helped the market.
•
Further boosting tourism on the Gold Coast will be new multi-million dollar developments to attract tourists. Among the exciting
new developments are the new $1 billion luxury hotel and apartments, “Jewel,” and the Jupiter’s Casino makeover. The project
will consist of a luxury five-star hotel and two towers with restaurants, conference rooms and a beachfront park.
•
Taking a look at the prospects for Commercial property on the Gold Coast, Australia’s regional cities are increasingly seen by
investors as an opportunity to add Commercial property to their portfolio at a lower entry price than in major cities such as
Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne. While there are plenty of challenges, there are also plenty of opportunities for the canny investor.
•
The quality of local government and business leadership is an element many investors overlook. A push is underway in Australia’s
fastest growing city, the Gold Coast, which has seen the introduction of a new light rail service, a new Chinatown in Southport and
with lots of employment and development opportunities with the Commonwealth Games in 2018 fast approaching.

The Office market in Perth is the barometer for the State’s economy. The lack of demand is a reflection of Western Australia’s
(WA) economic performance. At the same time, Perth is undergoing a spike in CBD Office stock with over 145,000 SM due to come
online in 2015.
•
Premium-grade buildings were the only category to report a single digit vacancy rate at just over 8%, almost double its rate in
July. These results are in line with what the industry was expecting and preparing for.
•
Long term, there is great optimism for Perth as the commercial Office market stabilizes. The Office market in West Perth is
feeling the pinch. It is anticipated that this will remain steady, with no additional stock coming online in the near future. There will
be greater moves for Office building refurbishment, and the government has a role in incentivizing these changes.
•
The WA economy is still holding up well and is expected to do so for the medium term at least. Growth in WA’s gross state product
has consistently outperformed national GDP growth since 2000, and while it is expected to slip slightly below the national growth
rate in 2014-2015, forecasters are tipping a quick return to form thereafter.
•
The increased availability of space in combination with softer demand has seen incentives increase in Q2 to an average of 10% in

Most metro markets in Sydney are seeing declining vacancy rates, driven by continuing tenant demand and a limited supply of
stock.
•
Residential developments are becoming increasingly popular throughout Sydney, and this is influencing metropolitan commercial
markets. Some metro markets have seen a reduction as a result of residential conversions, whilst, in others, development sites
that would once have been developed for commercial use are being developed for residential.
•
Leasing has been steady across metro markets in the first half 2014. Tenants have been cautious though, seeking to renew leases
rather than upgrade. Tenant inquiry has been increasing, and as business confidence grows nationally, greater activity occurred
in the second half 2014.
•
Lack of new Commercial floor space supply has been inhibiting metro markets with low vacancy rates. Tenants are therefore
being forced to consider other locations in order to access stock, in particular, large contiguous A Grade floor space.
•
Sydney’s metro markets have experienced a flow-on effect from the rapidly increasing acquisition costs of CBD commercial sites.
The influx of foreign investor capital has brought pressure on domestic purchasers to compress their feasibilities.
INTERESTING FACT: Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia. Located on Australia’s
east coast, the metropolis surrounds one of the world’s largest natural harbors, Sydney Harbor. Residents are together known as
“Sydneysiders” and constitute the most multicultural city in Australia and one of the most multicultural cities in the world.

Several large scale energy suppliers and services have been opening in sectors inside the island and are making large purchases
of land in the central and south regions. This includes two new recycling plants on the island.
•
Hotel and Hospitality sectors have seen an increase of over 20% with new chains absorbing independent hotel owners. Financial
investment and upgrades have given a positive forecast, and two new large scale luxury hotels are soon opening on the island.
•
The lack of funding for Commercial structures on the island has caused a decrease in market value. The buyers pool of outside
investors who are looking to buy Commercial buildings have increased due to their attraction to the high rents, and lower property
tax benefits.
•
Foreclosures of Land and Commercial buildings are leveling off, giving investors great opportunities. Financial institutions are
more open to price negotiation with their Commercial properties.
•
Major Retail and food industry franchises are opening shop on the island. Their main focus has been in the center of the island and
other larger cities with higher density. Consumer product purchase is high with a 15% increase from last year.
INTERESTING FACT: Many of the tax incentives that were offered to outside inventors and overseas investors have been brought back
after they were eliminated. Tax incentives in and outside of the Commercial real estate sector have attracted more small-to-midsized investors.

Top three Romanian telecom players will move their actual headquarters, as Orange leased 13,700 SM in Green Court. Developed by
Skanska in Barbu Vacarescu area, Vodafone chose the same area and pre-leased 5,733 SM in Bucharest One, while Telekom Romania
pre-leased approximately 25,000 SM in Globalworth Campus from the Pipera area. Globalworth investment fund is the owner of these
three buildings.
•
Bucharest prime Office rent remained stable at 18.75 euro/SM while the vacancy rate slightly decreased to around 14% for the
whole market. Barbu Vacarescu is the hottest area facing rapid take-up, new developments in progress, and was offered the largest
transaction in the past 5 years when NEPI bought Promenada Mall for €148M and totaled more than €300M investment in 2014.
•
Bucharest’s outskirt areas recorded in the last 3 years a boom in terms of new Residential construction. Projects like Cosmopolis,
Military Residence, Confort Urban or Sud Residential delivered last year more than 1,000 apartments, accounting for more than 40% of
the total market. Most of the investors have Romanian nationality compared to the 2005-2008 period when the majority of investors were
foreign.
•
More than 80% of the residential new market is focused on affordable dwellings that meet “Prima Casa” government program standards
with less than 70,000 Euro criterion. Recently delivered projects offer small size apartments with less than 70 SM and 1 or 2 bedrooms
at average prices ranging from 600 to 900 euro/SM. This trend was driven by stringent financing polices and low GDP growth.
•
The Real Estate market in Bucharest has strongly developed towards a more standardized market with well established segmentation.
Speculative investments are over, off-plan sales are no longer sustainable and the end-users are generally well informed.

Spain is recovering faster than expected from one of the deepest crises in history.
•
The crisis decimated the real estate sector, leaving incredible opportunities behind. Investors are taking advantage of these
opportunities, which is driving the market upwards.
•
The lack of backing from the financial sector and the locals opened the door to foreign investors, who were taking advantage
of low prices. The situation has now changed, with Spanish Banks opening financing to the locals. This, together with the ECB
support through the new QE programs, will drive the market in the coming months.
•
The Residential market in premium areas of Barcelona and Madrid is expected to trend up again in 2015. There is a need for new
construction in the downtown areas of Barcelona and Madrid.
In 2015, Spain is expected to be the fastest recovering market in Europe. During 2014 and 2015, foreign investment is flowing to
Spain again.
INTERESTING FACT: Spain also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean and
a number of uninhabited islands on the Mediterranean side of the Strait of Gibraltar, known as plazas de soberanía (territories under
