Industrial sector performance Inland Empire

Industrial sector performance Inland Empire

Coldwell Banker Commercial posted a blog posting that I thought was very interesting. Specifically, pertaining to the Industrial market.

Industrial sector performance has been very strong in recent quarters as tenant demand and investment activity return to historic norms, signaling a healthy market. At the same time, perhaps more than any other property type, industrial is benefitting from secular change. Demand for warehouse space is being driven by increased global trade and cost advantages that are causing many manufacturers to re-shore production and the continued expansion of e-commerce, which continues to disrupt the traditional interplay between retail and industrial properties.

An important, but often overlooked part of the industrial market is the smaller warehouse (or light industrial) segment, or those under 100,000 square feet. Despite the focus on big-box warehouses, which are now the standard bearer for “class A” industrial space, these assets comprise the largest segment of the market, representing 50% of all rentable stock. Though small warehouses tend to suffer during recessions and thus have underperformed from a NOI growth perspective, they can offer solid revenue since their nominal rents tend to be higher and vacancies lower.

Locating the right site

Published by:

WAREHOUSE 2

Locating the right site for your new manufacturing plant or distribution facility isn’t instant gratification. It takes time and effort by investigating zoning, infrastructure, employee pool, proximity to suppliers & vendors, quality of life issues, utilities and taxes, and more. These are many of the factors that play a major role in site selection..

Businesses need to be positioned to succeed. Taking into account locations situated for quick turnaround and efficient transportation to points across the country, as well as around the globe. Many sites across the United States offer geographic benefits, but geography is not the only factor that can help make a new distribution center or manufacturing plant location a success. Workforce availability, economic support, and general business climate also come into play. Which aspects of a location are the most critical in determining the best fit for your business?

But no matter what the type of business, given the high cost of transportation today, companies need to consider their best options for bringing product inbound to the United States, then sending it outbound to customers. Many companies are turning to the Inland Empire region in Southern California which boast unique combinations of geographic, workforce, economic, transportation, and business climate benefits that make them the stars of logistics and supply chain site selection.

The combined ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the largest in North America, and the top five in terms of global container volume. This make the area a prime location for premier destination shippers. The Inland Empire and Southern California Region is an ideal gateway for products manufactured in Asia.

Southern California also boasts an extensive freeway network. The major highway routes providing intercity connections are Interstate 5 (north to Sacramento and south to San Diego), Interstate 15 (north to Las Vegas and south to San Diego), U.S. Route 101 (north to Santa Barbara), and Interstate 10 (east to Phoenix). It is estimated that 50% of goods imported through the ports of Long Beach & Los Angeles move to the local population. The other 50% gets transported via tuck or rail to other parts of the county.

Developers have developed several million square feet of master planned centers within four miles of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and maintains a footprint that includes facilities in Carson/Rancho Dominguez, Chino, Apple Valley, Ontario, Fontana, and Redlands, Calif.

Due to recent demand for higher clear heights, a number of 36-foot clear buildings are currently under construction in the area. Because average net rents trend well above national averages in southern California, many businesses are finding it more cost-effective to increase vertical storage of product by 10 to 25 percent rather than to occupy additional square footage.

 

 

How to estimate the value commercial property

How to estimate the value commercial property?

money falling  Income properties can be evaluated by any real estate professional with simple valuation methods. One particular method of valuation is more accurate than another, depending on the type and size of    the investment property you are analyzing. No matter which method you use, you must conduct a thorough rental survey of similar properties so you can see if the property you are evaluating has rental    rates at market or under market. It is very important to keep many factors in mind such as location, condition, amenities, vacancy rates, and the investment marketplace which can affect the subject  property’s value. Otherwise, you could overvalue or even undervalue/underselling a property.

A very simple, but least accurate valuation method is the GROSS RENT MULTIPLIER method, which is mostly used on multi-family properties. You look at other recent local sales, take their selling  price, divide it by the stated gross rents to arrive at a “times gross” factor, which is then multiplied by the subject property’s gross rents to determine the value.
ie. Say your 20-unit property’s scheduled rents are $600/mo (600x20units= $12,000x12mo/yr= $144,000 gross annual rent). Local apartments are selling for 5 times the gross annual rent (the “times  gross” factor), so you value this building at $720,000 ($144,000×5). Keep in mind the other factors that can affect the value in order to see if an adjustment is needed.
A more accurate form of valuation is by using the CAPITALIZATION OF NET INCOME method. To find the property’s value, you divide the property’s income (NOI – ALL income minus ALL expenses,  except for any debt and taxes) by the desired rate of return (Cap Rate). You should get an idea of other property’s cap rate by dividing their NOI by their sales price. You still should use a current rental  survey to see if the property could achieve a higher NOI. But value the property somewhere below the max value in case of a loss of scheduled rents.
There are more accurate methods such as the IRR method mostly used by institutional investors, but requires more info and you will have to do more work.

Commercial properties are almost always valued best from the income approach to value. Being a commercial appraiser and commercial broker, there are many ways to value a property based on the  purpose. Such as for bank financing, estate purposed, insurance loss, etc. If you just want to get a general idea of where your property may be, I would suggest using the IRV Formula. I= Income, R =  Rate and V = value. If you know two out of three you can solve for the third varialbe. There are three formulas: I = R * V; R = I / V and V = I / R. You can memorize the formulas or use the visual approach like I do.

Draw a circle and then a horizontal line from left to right that make two half’s; one at the top and one at the bottom of the circle. Next, on the bottom half of the circle draw a vertical line from top to bottom making the bottom half of the circle each 1/4 of the whole circle. Now put the “I” on the top half of the circle above the horizontal line; put the “R” in the bottom left (1/4 of the circle) and then the “V” in the bottom right (1/4 of the circle).
The horizontal line acts like a division symbol and the vertical line acts like a multiplication symbol. Now just look at the formulas and you can see that if you are solving for the value of a property, you take the income and divide by the rate.
Note that the income is the NOI not the gross and Rate is the going cap rate in your market for whatever property type you are trying to value. You will need to figure out the cap rate.
NOI can be derived in many ways and cap rates are open to interpretation, so this is just a ball park method unless you know that the NOI and cap rate are well supported for your property.
