July 6, 20170 CommentsBy JLL Spaces

By: Matt Powers, Executive Vice President, JLL

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published on the NAIOP blog.

Demand for industrial space across the U.S. is booming. In fact, the vacancy rate in industrial buildings dropped to 5.3 percent in the first quarter of 2017 — the lowest rate in 17 years. The active market is evidence that a shift in consumer shopping patterns has taken hold, changing the nature of warehouse demand. Responding to healthy consumer spending and growing e-commerce sales, the combined logistics and third-party logistics (3PL) sectors signed 21.8 million square feet of leases in the first quarter of 2017. This represents 24 percent of total leasing activity in the warehouse and distribution market.… Read More

Mixed-Use, Distribution Space Planned in Cincinnati

New mixed-use and distribution developments are in the works for Greater Cincinnati.

The Kroger Co. recently announced its upcoming development of a $60 million distribution center in Greater Cincinnati, which will also add nearly 100 new jobs this year.

The distribution center will be housed at Park 536 in Florence and will undergo construction to open later this year. The center will be used as a replenishment center to serve Kroger’s eastern direct-to-store distribution centers. Construction comes at an ideal time as growth in e-commerce continues to spur strong industrial market performance, including in the distribution and logistics sector.

A new $100 million mixed-use development will also begin construction in Montgomery, growing both in scope and size with the addition of 10 more acres of land.

Retailers: 2015 Holiday Shopping Revenue Looks Merry and Bright (REPORT)

December 10, 20150 CommentsBy JLL Spaces

By: Mary Bresnahan, Vice President with JLL and Melissa Ruther, Vice President with JLL.

The 2015 holiday season is projected to be merry and bright for retailers across the country. JLL recently conducted its annual Holiday Sentiment Report, which revealed retailers’ expectations and preparations for the upcoming holiday shopping season.

So what’s so special about this year? For one, the U.S. unemployment rate is at its lowest since 2008, which means more spending money for shoppers.

The calendar also plays a significant role in influencing consumer shopping patterns this year. With Christmas falling on a Friday (the first time this has happened since 2009), 71% of retailers predict after-Christmas shopping will boost holiday sales. The shopping season is also longer this year, with the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas extended by one day. The majority of retailers (68%) expect the extra day to have an impact on sales.

Among the hustle and bustle of what looks to be a promising holiday season for retailers, how can your shop stand out and make a splash? Below we’ve identified three tips that will help drive sales, increase foot traffic, and unify the in-store and online shopping experience.… Read More

December 7, 20150 CommentsBy JLL Spaces

By: Dave MacDonald, Executive Vice President, JLL

Silicon Valley and San Francisco may be the strongest tech hubs in the country, but smaller markets are making their mark on the map.

In fact, two secondary markets in the Great Lakes, Detroit and Pittsburgh, made JLL’s list of “sweet spots” for young companies. Other cities on the list include the likes of Orlando, Raleigh-Durham, Milwaukee and Phoenix.

How did JLL determine the “sweet spots?”

In this year’s annual Technology Office Outlook, JLL unveiled its proprietary tool, the Locator Matrix. As defined by JLL, the locator tool helps growing startups and established tech firms determine the best location for company expansion. Based on cost and startup momentum, the tool ranks markets into four quadrants.

Below, I’ve included a sneak peak of the matrix. Download the full report for further explanation and recommendations.
