After meet- ing Alex and the team, I am convinced of the potential of Blueground and excited to be an investor and a member of the Board.” In the US, Blueground leases from property owners and management companies. The company typically leases nu- merous apartments before they hit the market, with a goal of holding them for many years, ensuring landlords steady cash flow and value-added financ- ing solutions that maximize a property’s annual yield. The company then offers the proper- ties with premium furnishings, high-speedWiFi, luxury linens, high-end gadgets and beautiful designs, to vetted renters for 30 days or longer. Once the online reservation is made, guests have access to ongoing support and information through the Blueground app, where they can arrange housekeeping, request maintenance, or even modify their stay by moving to another apartment in a new neighborhood or city under the same service agreement. 

The Missing Piece.

Jay Haines, NAI Summit

Market Trends and Future Impacts C losing the book on 2018 and moving into 2019 and beyond the zeit- geist generated in the past year seems to have fueled an air of continued economic expan- sion and real estate optimism. Above average corporate per- formance, strong consumer de- mand, and a business friendly tax policy have propelled the U.S. economy through another solid year. Multifamily investment and development remained king up 8% from the previous year. Considering that earlier pre- dictions had single family homebuilding outpacing multi- unit development. Multifam- ily was followed by industrial transactions continuing to be driven by e-commerce’s un- quenched thirst for distribu- tion/warehouse locations. 2018 saw a net improvement in this sector of 26%. U.S. metroplex markets, especially Seattle, San Francisco and Chicago are seeing an acceleration of multi- story warehouse construction. Rising construction costs and less available land are the driv- ers of this new trend; though for Europe and Asia this is nothing new. Investor optimism has been further spurred on by the U.S. Treasury Department and In- ternal Revenue Service’s roll out of the national Opportunity Zone program touting the po- tential of more than $6 trillion in unrealized capital gains be- ing eligible to be deployed into zones nationwide. The focus of the program is to bring private sector investment to under-

served areas in exchange for generous tax cuts. If the initial interest and investment prior to launch are any indicator the results should track positive. Upward market trends can’t be discussed without the pro- verbial ‘elephant in the room’ being mentioned. That being the tech sector, data centers and the scurrilous demand for more data capability. Usurping even location in the market- place access to connectivity and data storage are paramount. Regional leaders, such as, Northern Virginia, North Caro- lina and parts of the Midwest will continue to see significant expansion. However, these ex- pansions may still fall woefully short of demand. And, just for sake of a mention add to that mix Amazon’s HQ2 nationwide search competition to flush out every trend possible. As for the remaining market sectors of office and retail the past year’s trends seem to be continuing. On the office side it is “steady as she goes” with lease rates and absorption remaining stable at current levels. The retail market might best be summarized by, “retail isn’t shrinking, but growing painfully in a new direction.”

While certain retailers have and will face choppy waters ahead; others are expanding and using new concepts to fos- ter consumer confidence. The simple fact is the paradigm of buying has changed never to return to its’ former state. The existing retail bricks and mortar is and will continue to see new and creative adaptive reuse. Despite of all the kudos of the past year it was not without its own set of outlier issues. A few worth noting that may cre- ate consequences are national infrastructure needs being a possible black swan event slow- ing expansion and development projects nationwide. Another outlier are interest rate hikes. Three modest hikes occurred in 2018; and Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell seemed to adopt a mantra of the medi- cal profession, “do no harm.” Outwardly, it appears most companies had prepared in advance for this eventually. A final lingering item throughout the calendar year has been the unresolved tariff’s question.

ed the company’s mission and decades of history of financing small buildings and affordable housing. Leadership at CPC created the foundation of its new team from inside the com- pany, and recruited profession- als with years of experience in Agency originations, analysis, underwriting, and asset man- agement. For the last two fiscal years, the Agency team operated un- der the CPC umbrella, but with originations in Fiscal Year 2018 at nearly $500 million over a portfolio of 154 loans, it was time to officially launch CPC Mortgage Company LLC as a stand-alone subsidiary. 

CPC Mortgage Company LLC was officially introduced at a recep- tion on February 11th during the Mortgage Bankers As- sociation’s Commercial Real Estate Finance/Multifamily Housing Convention & Expo 2019 (CREF19) in San Diego, CA. CPC Mortgage Company LLC offers a suite of Freddie Mac, FannieMae , and Feder- al Housing Administration (FHA) products for acquisition, refinance, rehabilitation and construction for multifamily properties. This new one-stop shop provides borrowers with a team of experts with deep experience in all aspects of the Agency business to ensure that borrowers receive unmatched economic fronts. The Focus of 2018 economic and market trends going for- ward might best be summa- rized by 19th Century, Amer- ican essayist Henry David Thoreau’s quote, and “Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.” The historic decade plus of steady economic growth seems to mirror Thoreau’s words of yore. This begs the question as to when the next downturn occurs. Historically, the U.S. business cycle downturns occur within one or two years of the economy reaching full employ- ment.

No obvious imbalances cur- rently appear postured to trig- ger such an event; settling the current trends into a continued period of stable noninflationary growth. Time will tell.

The TCJA has boosted Bonus depreciation to 100% for four full years. Furthermore, under the TCJA acquisitions are also eligible for Bonus treatment.

S hopping C enters By Bill Stevenson, Target Building Construction Target Building Construction: Knowledge and enthusiasm determine success

rom humble begin- nings in 1990, Target Building Construction

years in business helped prepare us for where we are today. Our current projects are more concentrated in the healthcare, commercial and higher education markets due to the changing environ- ment in retail and super- market construction. Wal- Mart and Amazon are two companies determining how consumers shop online and spend their money. Technol- ogy is ruling the roost and brick and mortar retail is suffering the consequences. On any given morning at all of our jobsites usually

around 6:30 AM, the final sips of coffee are tasted and work begins. Lasers are running, slabs being poured, walls are going up and utilities are installed. Having worked in the field in my 20s and 30s it’s easy to appreciate the expertise of our field staff as I walk through each and every jobsite. When you have Target boots on the ground you can be confident we will lead everyone through a suc- cessful project completion. Our superintendents and carpenters deliver skillsets of experienced supervision,

quality craftsmanship, jobsite etiquette and a safe working environment for all involved. Our field and project manage- ment staffs go through exten- sive planning along with our subcontractors to ultimately determine the success of our projects. The project manage- ment staff at Target brings their knowledge and dedica- tion to each job we work on. All of this ties into how much we value our relationships with our company, our clients and our partners. Working in conjunction with our subcon- tracting base has enabled us

to build numerous projects, therefore developing strong bonds with them as well. They say in life there are six degrees of separation, but in the construction industry there are only two degrees of separation. Everybody knows each other, which is one of the aspects that make it interesting. The real time changes in the current needs of the construction market have been good for our company because we have adapted with experienced staff to meet the challenges. Target is in the process of building significant projects right now in PA, NJ and DE. In Milford, DE for example we are building a 81,000 s/f Medical Office Building for Bayhealth with Anchor Health Properties. In NJ we are working with Capi- tal Health in Hopewell, NJ on the Advanced Surgical Center, Princeton Univer- sity E-Quad Lab, TJU/Ken- nedy ENT project, Virtua, Tatum Brown project and Bostic Manufacturing in Paulsboro, NJ. PA projects for the Children’s Hospi- tal of Philadelphia, Magee Rehabilitation, University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Swarthmore College, Esperanza Health and Philabundance. Thankful for where we have been and enthusiastic about where we we’re going. Every Target employee is an ambassador for our compa- ny. Target has a connection between all five our depart- ments: Estimating, Project Management, Field Person- nel, Accounting and Mar- keting where long tenured employees who understand each other work in harmony. The Procore project man- agement software we now utilize connects Target to all clients and design teams with job progress, schedule adherence, correspondence, billing, photos and accurate updates, keeping everyone on the same page. Please let us share our knowledge and enthusiasm with you. We will continue to build relationships through the power of people.
