Honored to be joined by Doug Kiersey again as we jump into Doug provides insights on current valuation trends, interest rates, and market dynamics. He notes that although interest rates have stabilized around 4.25%, the spread between industrial cap rates and treasury yields remains narrow, compelling investors to rely on rent growth rather than appreciation for returns. Doug anticipates moderate rent growth in 2025, driven by constrained supply due to significantly reduced development activity. We also cover challenges in the industrial sector, including overbuilt big-box warehouses in certain markets and potential pressures on vacancy rates. Doug emphasizes investing in high-quality, infill assets with sustainable competitive advantages. They also explore challenges such as power capacity constraints, the rise of automation, and political opposition to industrial developments.About Doug:Douglas A.

Recognition has grown substantially in recent years that climate risk can shape real estate investment outcomes. This owes to an increasing frequency and severity of loss events,1 surging insurance premiums,2 improving data availability and a mounting reporting burden driven by regulations.3 Investors have had to move quickly from acquiring basic climate risk literacy, to sourcing good quality climate risk data, to most recently, leveraging that data into improved investment decisions. There is a clear and rising likelihood that investors on the lagging edge of this process may underperform. At LaSalle, we have sought to share insights from our own climate risk journey, combining that with broader analysis of our industry's climate risk challenges and opportunities. In 2022, we partnered with the Urban Land Institute (ULI) on a report, How to choose, use, and better understand climate-risk analytics, which addressed the difficulties in selecting and evaluating climate data from an ever-changing and increasingly crowded—and sometimes contradictory—data provider landscape. In April, we released a new report with ULI, Physical Climate Risks and Underwriting Practices in Assets in Portfolios, which looks at how investors are taking these data and seeking to make better-informed buying, selling and portfolio construction decisions based on them.  While the joint ULI report takes an industry-wide view, this ISA Briefing looks at the topic through the lens of LaSalle's own investment process. We present three case studies of our evaluation of climate risk on a regional, market and asset-level scale. These examples – one each from each of our global investment regions – illuminate how we are taking account of climate risk and lay out our views on issues investors should be thinking about.

Today on the show I have Jim Heid, FASLA.Jim is an infill developer and sustainable development advisor based in Sonoma County, California. Known for his aspirational but practical approach, he works with a range of tools and best practices to communicate the value of inspired design and sustainability within the realities of local market norms. With over forty years experience as an urban designer, land planner, sustainability strategist and now infill developer, he brings a broad range of perspectives and skills to the discussion about how communities grow. Trained as a landscape architect, he received a Masters in Real Estate Development from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as way to more effectively integrate economics, development and design thinking.An active member of the Urban Land Institute (ULI), Jim was at the forefront of defining the tenets of sustainable community design, serving as co-instructor for ULI's pioneering program in Sustainable Community Design. He continues his leadership as founder and lead instructor for ULI's program focused on small scale incremental development. He has organized and led fifteen national tours where participants explore the impact and benefits of non-institutional approaches to real estate development, and how it creates stronger local economies and more authentic places.  Drawing on his own experience and the work of others seen during these tours, he authored Building Small: A Toolkit for Real Estate Entrepreneurs, Civic Leaders and Great Communities.  Published in April by ULI, the book has quickly gained a national following from all professions engaged in shaping the built environment. Jim works seamlessly with multi-disciplinary teams, bringing his design and real estate training to resolve complex challenges – focusing on enduring solutions  catalyzed by initial, immediate steps. With an emphasis on high quality communications, Jim works to build deep understanding for the ‘how and why' of decisions – rather than just creating consensus. His collaborative, integrative, and effective team leadership is recognized through his participation or chairmanship of over 15 ULI Advisory Service Panels – recently for Napa, CA and Toronto, Ontario.Originally born in Pittsburgh, PA; Jim credits the diversity of places he has lived and worked – Moscow, Idaho; Springfield, Vermont; New Orleans; Denver; Phoenix; Boston; and San Francisco – for shaping his appreciation of town form impacts quality of life, and the importance of regional identity for creating more interesting places.  Now living in the idyllic community of Healdsburg, California he shares these insights with clients and audiences across the globe.

The drumbeat of coverage on commercial real estate loan trouble continues this week as strong jobs numbers fuel more uncertainty about inflation and economic strength, and while the multifamily market has shown stable rent growth, there is a high amount of regional variability. With the exception of Texas markets and the indefatigable growth of Miami, a number of Sunbelt markets have had negative rent growth, while markets in the Midwest and Northeast have much stronger rent growth as a group, especially more affordable markets with low rent-to-income ratios.

As an Associate and owner at Kimley-Horn, Heather is responsible for the creation and execution of strategic business and marketing plans for the firm's development services and energy (electric vehicle) market sectors in Florida and across the country. Her expertise also includes private land development such as mixed-use, residential, and healthcare. Her expertise in these areas and relationships with key partner groups and clients has allowed her to help drive significant growth in these sectors over the past 15+ years of her career at Kimley-Horn. Heather is a graduate of the University of Central Florida and is a member of the Urban Land Institute (ULI), Innovating Commerce Serving Communities (ICSC), and Women in Healthcare (WIH). Currently, she is serving as President of the Florida Chapter of Women in Healthcare and she sits on the Women's Leadership Committee for ULI Southeast Florida/Caribbean Council's District Council.In this episode you'll learn all about Heather including how she grew her role at Kimley-Horn, how she survived breast cancer, why she loves EV planning, and how she once had a conversation that lead her firm to working on a billion dollar development project in Miami known as the Brickell City Centre. Memorable Moments: 3:47- I was raised by an entrepreneur; My father had his own business for more than 20 years. And he always told me, don't work for a company, have your own business, do your own thing. And so I was never the type. I'm not a risk taker. I like the comfort that a big company allows. But I was looking for that opportunity in a company where I could really kind of create my own path, and create my own role.5:12- About five years into working with our healthcare practice builders on growing that practice in Florida, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. So I'm a breast cancer survivor. And after that, health care became much more personal, and I became much more passionate about it. And so since then, I've become much more involved in the healthcare industry as a whole.7:44- I think for a woman to have a short haircut like that. I think it exudes a difference. And to be confident with that haircut. I mean, I think it just makes people take notice. And I think people just assume that you mean business. And it opened some doors for me that hadn't been opened previously, which I thought was pretty interesting.10:37- The greatest thing about Kimley-Horn, and the reason I've been here so long is because of the people, our people are just fantastic. They are some of the smartest people I've ever met.18:27- We spend so much time at work; our careers are so important to us. And you really want to do the best that you can do. And you can't do that if you're not receiving some constructive criticism along the way, either. And so I made the commitment to myself and to my team, that I would always be that type of person, that if you were looking for that type of feedback, or you really wanted it, I was someone that you could come to, and I would give it to you.20:42- I think a key of personal growth, too, is just asking people for feedback constantly. And looking at it as a gift. And you know, you should always ask different types of people in different roles. Because you, you know, some people are very willing to be blunt and honest, and others aren't. And so you need to kind of touch a variety of people and get feedback from different types of people in different roles as well.24:10- To be in this industry for 16 years, and then learn something completely new is really exciting, and it's been a great opportunity. And I think electric vehicles are something that a lot of our clients, both public and private, are looking at. And it's really been exciting. And I think it's an area that if you're not focused on it you probably should be.29:37- Once you're in the industry, I always recommend ULI because I was told very early on in my career that it's the best organization for connections and relationships, and it really has been.Connect with Nancy:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nancysurakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancysurak/Website: www.nancysurak.comConnect with Heather:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-hetherington-4008853/About Brickell City Centre: https://www.brickellcitycentre.com/assets/images/uploads/BCC-Press-Kit-9-2-2016.pdfhttps://www.brickellcitycentre.com/Heather's Book Recommendation: Big Little Breakthroughshttps://www.amazon.com/Big-Little-Breakthroughs-Innovations-Oversized/dp/1642936774

The last day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere was September 22nd, and cooler temperatures will surely be welcomed by many. Europe and China recorded their hottest-ever summers since recordkeeping began in 1880, according to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information. Meanwhile, the US recorded its third-hottest summer by the same metric. Our recent report, “How to Choose, Use and Better Understand Climate Risk Analytics," researched and written in partnership with the Urban Land Institute (ULI), is an excellent overview of the challenges faced by first-time consumers of climate data. The paper outlines physical climate risk basics, identifies differences between data providers to be aware of, and raises a call to action to standardize the outputs in ways that are most meaningful and useful for real estate, with transparency that enables apples to apples comparisons across models. Once the data is in hand, the next step is to manage the risks at two levels: at the property level, through evaluating both existing and potential new hardening strategies to be more resilient against particular hazards; and at the portfolio level, through assessment of exposure concentrations and consideration of how climate risk informs overall portfolio construction strategies. And lastly, we must continue to monitor these risks on a regular basis, because one thing we know for sure is that our climate will continue to change, and more disruptive and damaging seasons like the hot summer of 2022 are likely to recur.

An entrepreneur at heart, he brings his experience in owning and managing cash-flowing multifamily property in his personal real estate portfolio to larger multifamily investing with over $40,000,000M in deals. This foundational experience derived from the strategic acquisition, renovation, and repositioning has been instrumental in the apartment syndication space, resulting in a competitive edge in value add and equity creation. In addition, Ola draws from his leadership and analytic skills as a manager for a Fortune 10 company. Ola is an alumnus of the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom graduating with bachelors' and masters' degrees. Ola is also an active member of the Urban Land Institute [ULI]. Nick's Bio: In 2003, Nick Prefontaine was in a snowboarding accident that left him in a coma for over 3 weeks. The doctors told his parents that he probably wouldn't walk, talk, or eat on his own again. Less than 3 months later, he was running out of Franciscan Children's hospital. Now Nick speaks to groups that benefit from his message of overcoming adversity. Nick grew up in the real estate industry and got started at an early age. Most notably, he was knocking on Pre-Foreclosure doors at 16, doing up to 50 doors a day. This experience helped shape Nick's real estate career. When someone opens the door you better have something compelling to say. Now, Nick specializes in working with lease purchase buyers to get them into a home and on the path to homeownership. That includes working with them throughout the entire deal which ends in them being able to get their own loan. Getting buyers to the finish line is something Nick and the entire Pre Property Solutions team take pride in. That is something that separates them from their competition. Regardless of a buyer's credit situation, he looks at their complete financial picture and comes up with a plan to get them into a home. Zachary's Bio: Zachary Beach is an Amazon Best-Selling Author of The New Rules of Real Estate Investing and revised edition of Real Estate On Your Terms. He has been an authority in real estate for 7 years now and has personally completed hundreds of real estate transactions and has mentored investors to complete thousands of transactions. At the age of 25, Zachary decided to leave the world of bartending and personal training and jump into the family business. Now he is an equal partner and runs the acquisitions department, focusing on helping sellers accomplish their goal of selling their property. If Zachary is not working, you will find him enjoying the outdoors or spending time with his wife Kayla and two kids, Remi and Bellamy. His passion for family and business is what keeps him motivated and excited to take on each day.

Anna Holtzclaw from Urban Land Institute (ULI) and Alex Willis from Comcap Partners join Memphis Metropolis to discuss ULI's recent 21-day Equitable Development Challenge, an opportunity for member and non-members to spend time both personally reflecting and in group discussions to identify real actions they can take individually, at their organizations, and as a community to address the inequities in the real estate industry. Later in the program, commentator (and explainer extraordinaire) Ray Brown discuss the Unified Development Code (UDC) for Memphis and Shelby County and some proposed amendments that if adopted, could potentially reduce citizen input in planning decisions and lead to an increase in so-called "tall skinnies" in the Midtown area. If you need a primer on the UDC as well as the difference between the Land Use Control Board and the Board of Adjustment, this is a discussion you won't want to miss.

During the past 30 years, he has worked with more than 600 communities in all 50 states on a wide variety of land use and economic development issues.

On October 10, 2017, the Trust for Public Land (TPL), the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) came together to launch a campaign called 10-Minute Walk. The 10 Minute Walk campaign concept is simple — every should have access to parks within a 10-minute walk of where they live, work and play. To date, over 140 mayors have signed on to the 10-Minute Walk campaign. They’ve signed on because they recognize that proximity and accessibility to parks is important and the benefits are almost too innumerable to count. This campaign has a big goal and it’s not one that could be accomplished by one organization alone. That’s why three have come together to make this happen. In today’s podcast, we chat with TPL’s Adrian Benepe, ULI’s Rachel McCleary and NRPA’s Kevin O’Hara about how this campaign came to be, why a 10-minute walk and more.
