Chris Holman welcomes Eric Rosekrans, CCIM, Executive Vice President, Martin Commercial Properties, and Thomas Jamieson, Martin Commercial Properties, Lansing, MI. This discussion is the second of three with Martin Commercial Properties team, and focuses on their Office Advisory. These were the questions they cover in this conversation: Office Advisory: Office vacancy remains at a 20-year high. What strategies are landlords and tenants using to adapt to shifting work models and excess space? Smaller occupies are leading leasing activity—what types of businesses are driving this demand, and how does it shape the future of office space design? Given recent sales in the office sector, what trends are emerging given the buyers of these buildings? These interviews grow out of a series of three recent reports recently released by the company.

Office '24 Market Insights: "OFFICE ‘24 Market Insights Greater Lansing Area, Michigan | H2 2024"​ The Greater Lansing Area office market experienced a slight increase in vacancy rates, reaching 21.9% in H2 2024, up from 21.2% in H1 2024. ​ The Central Business District (CBD) continues to struggle with higher vacancy rates (27.1%) compared to suburban markets (19.8%). ​ Absorption remained negative at -64,140 SF, although this was an improvement from the -98,661 SF recorded in H1 2024. ​ Leasing activity was steady, but transaction values dropped by about 30% as companies opted for shorter-term leases and downsized their spaces. ​ No new office space was completed in H2 2024, and none is expected in the near future due to low demand and high construction costs. ​ The largest leases in H2 2024 included HNTB (20,000 SF) and Thrun Law Firm (17,000 SF) in the East Submarket, and Cedar Creek Hospital (12,000 SF) in the South Submarket. Significant vacancies were created by Aetna Health vacating 30,000 SF and Ingenix (United Healthcare) vacating 9,500 SF in the West Submarket. ​ The market remains tenant-friendly, with landlords scrutinizing deals involving tenant improvements due to elevated interest rates and high renovation costs. ​ The Greater Lansing Area encompasses over eight million square feet of leasable office space, with the CBD and East Submarket accounting for 71.9% of the market. ​ The North Submarket saw a decrease in vacancy rates from 18.5% in H1 2024 to 11.7% in H2 2024, while the South and West Submarkets experienced increases in vacancy rates. ​ The market is expected to continue favoring tenants through 2025 and 2026, with no new speculative construction anticipated due to ongoing economic challenges. ​ » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Francis “Fran” Saele is Managing Principal at Mortevita which provides specialty consulting on the new knowledge workplace and corporate real estate. Fran has deep experience in the corporate real estate sector. He shares his insights and views about the history, dynamics, and future of office infrastructure and the evolving impact on Central Business Districts. Fran is passionate about new ways of working and the workplace transformation that supports it—developing the infrastructure of distributed work. He discusses workplace flexibility and the timing for making decisions and moving forward.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   [03:27] Fran starts studying psychiatry but moves to psychology after challenging lab sessions!   [05:03] Fran is tasked with finding a purpose for a newly built building with a lot of empty space and catches the development bug.   [06:37] The difference aspects of real estate and development work.   [08:11] Speculative development requires incorporating flexibility to allow adjustments for prospective landlords' and tenants' needs.   [09:56] Market needs differ, but similarities remain regarding office spaces.   [11:00] In the decade before the pandemic, large businesses' trend to centralize operations generated Central Business District (CBD) clusters.    [12:40] To compete for talent, Fran had already developed remote working capabilities for his team before 2020.   [15:00] The mechanisms that enabled quick adaptations to remote work.   [17:44] Why there are 'Return To Office' mandates and why the push is a mistake.   [20:30] How organizations are thinking about mitigating reduced office usage.   [25:11] Can the shock to the corporate real estate sector trigger a recession?   [27:11] How can we reuse of office spaces: Condos? Vertical farming?   [30:21] Smucker's workplace flexibility model developed after discussion with employees.   [33:44] Hybrid isn't meant as a permanent solution. Working out compromises will require “Smucker's” type moments.   [36:10] The tension surrounding 'Return To Office' mandates have yet to result in mass action by employers.   [40:14] The role the public sector has to play in reinventing business areas.   [42:41] Fran explains the future of the office within the community, including the evolution of malls.   [46:30] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: To discover the right work model for your company, do a meaningful diagnostic to find out what your company needs to be and wants to be in the future and how best to get there. Identify management bias first, then talk to employees and understand what makes sense from their perspective. Then decide how best to redesign to achieve more progressive workplace operations, which drive real estate decisions.   RESOURCES   Fran Saele on LinkedIn fran.saele@mortevita.com     QUOTES (edited)   “There's a natural instinct in everyone to return to a homeostatic state—a state that worked well for you. Hence the ‘Return To Office'.”   “If you talk to anybody in a real estate organization: service providers, brokers, owners, or lenders, they recognized that any material change to how work was done was going to be a threat to their investments, their loans, and their economic future.”   “There are billions of dollars of existing financing on thousands of buildings across the country that will come up for refinancing. How much is that going to affect the non-real estate sector, and does it have the potential to drive the economy into a very deep recession?”   “Hybrid was never really intended to be a final solution. It was a compromise solution that allowed employees to have some time away and management to have people back in the office.”   “I think organizations need to be careful about being too pushy on ‘Return To Office'. A matter like this is likely to lead to some type of labor action, some attempts to move in the direction of unions.”   “They've got to figure out what to do with the buildings. If they don't, if there is no mission at all — and this will be true for a lot of B, C, and D quality buildings around the country — they're going to at some point demolish them because there will be no uses that make any sense.”   “The infrastructure of distributed work is going to happen, it's just going to take time. Getting rid of the large investment in CBD office is going to take time.”

Ernest and I had a chance to reminisce about our time together on Planning Board as well as discuss the Central Business District (CBD) project as a priority for the city, his thoughts on what it means to be a City Council person, and what might be next for him after the election when he hands the baton over the the next person.

The Amateur Traveler talks to Andy Dye about his adopted hometown of Melbourne Australia. Andy grew up in England but fell in love with Melbourne. Sure the weather was better but Andy also discovered a city with street art, vibrant cafes, culture and sport. Melbourne is the home of Australian Rules Foolball which was apparently invented by people who thought that rugby was too tame. Andy talks about wandering around the Central Business District (CBD) and discovering out of the way cafes. Melbourne has museums (like the Melbourne Museum, the Australia Center for the Moving Image), galleries (like the National Gallery of Victoria) and an aquarium. Melbourne is a multi-cultural city and no places show it off better than the Queen Victoria Market or Sydney Road Brunswick. He also talks about side trips such as going to see the penguins at Phillip Island.
