REIT acquires RedMill Commons &Marketplace at Hilltop fromVenture RealtyGroup Armada Hoffler buys two Virginia retail centers for $105 million
ISSUE HIGHLIGHTS Volume 31, Issue 12 June 28 - July 11, 2019
IRGINIA BEACH, V A — A r m a d a Hoffler Properties has expanded its retail real estate footprint in its home- town of Virginia Beach, by nearly 500,000 s/f with the recent closing of an off-market transaction. The REIT ac- quired Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop from Venture Realty Group in a $105 million deal. Armada financed part of the acquisition with $5 million in cash and the assumption of $36 million of existing mortgage debt. The bulk of the payment, however, came in the form of the issuing of 4.1 million oper- ating partnership units valued at $15.55 each, providing Ven- ture Realty with significant equity ownership in Armada. Venture Realty will continue to provide property manage- ment and leasing services at the retail centers. Red Mill and Hilltop, de- veloped in the early 2000s on sites that had been home to farmland and a trailer park, respectively, are located less than 10 miles apart in high barrier-to-entry submarkets.

Hilltop encompasses 118,000 s/f and a 100% full tenant roster featuring retail- ers such as Total Wine and Michaels. The Virginia Beach shopping centers appear to be a long- term hold for Armada. During the REIT’s first quarter earn- ings conference call on May 2, 2019, Louis Haddad, president & CEO of Armada Hoffler Properties, reiterated that well-located, high-volume retail assets will remain a significant part of the company’s growth, adding that expectations are for

The market recorded a vacancy rate of 5.2% in the first quarter of 2019, according to a report by Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer, compared to the U.S. average of 6.4%. And despite the concerns pervad- ing the national retail sector across the board, including store e-commerce competition, the future bodes well for Vir- ginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area in general.

It’s Not the Rent. It’s the Retention
Y ou already know that the world’s best companies are moving into dynamic office spaces tailor made to look good on Instagram. But do you know the real reason that im- pressive lobbies, luxury ameni- ties, giant fitness centers, and rooftop decks matter? Yes, they help recruit top talent, increase productivity, enhance culture, and improve customer relations. But the real reason companies are making the move is far simpler: these spaces can save you millions of dollars per year. Before we dive into how, let’s think about two questions: 1. Do you think the employees at your company knowwhat the rent is? (No.) 2. Do you think the employ- ees at your company know how their workspace makes them feel every day? (Yes.) It’s not about the rent. It’s about the retention. According to Jack Altman, CEO of Lattice, whenever an employee departs, the average company spends: • $25,000 to advertise the vacancy, interview candidates, and hire someone new • $10,000 on the onboarding and development process • $50,000 on the resultant productivity drain That’s $85,000 per departing employee. American employers suffer through an 18.5% rate of turnover every year, so for every 100 people you employ, you lose $1.6 million dollars annually. And this is just the average. Turnover in upper management or among highly educated contributors costs a terrifying 213% of that person’s annual salary. This might be tolerable if every vacant job could be filled immediately with top-quality candidates, but with the shock- ingly low national unemploy- ment rate of 3.6%, finding suitable replacements is more challenging than ever. 60% of employers have to work through job openings for more than twelve weeks. How much productivity, rev- enue, and customer loyalty are you losing when a key job remains open for a full fiscal quarter? Outdated spaces also expose

you to the potential for exodus. That turnover problem has a tendency to compound when your remaining employees see where everyone is going. Even if they don’t speak directly with departing employees, they have social media. They get text mes- sages from friends they used to work with. Eventually, they will see the incredible spaces and cultures that their col- leagues are departing for. When this happens, it is only a matter of time before one de- parture leads to two, then two become four, and eventually you are losing average employ- ees and high-performers alike. How much would it cost to cede an entire team to a competitor? The productivity losses would be painful on their own, but what if that high-performer or team also takes customers with them? Customers don’t invest in companies; they invest in relationships. Turnover costs an average of 12% of pre-tax income for the average company. For those with a high rate of turnover, the number can be as high as 40%. Most just shrug and accept this rate as unavoidable—especially today, when Millennials and Generation Z are so notorious for job-hopping. They chalk it up as an uncontrollable cost of doing business. But it doesn’t have to be. 97% of respondents to a UK survey said that they viewed their workplace as a reflection of how much their employers value them. Meanwhile, only 37% believed that their offices were designed to make them
happy, healthy, and productive, and nearly a third of them said they were ashamed to meet with clients in their offices. What if moving into a dynam- ic office space could improve your retention rate by 20%? That’s an annual savings of $320,000 just on the turnover costs we can measure, with considerably more bottom-line benefits related to the boost in engagement, morale, productiv- ity, and customer relations. Long-tenured employees turn in better numbers across the board, so if you could convert 20% more of your employees into the long-tenured category, what would that mean to your company’s bottom line? The potential competitive advantage here is clear: if you have a dynamic office—one that your employees are so proud of that they share pictures of it on Instagram and brag about it to their friends and colleagues, you will retain more employees. Meanwhile, those employees you retain will be happier and more energized, engaged, and productive at work, all of which improves work product, customer relations, and ulti- mately, the bottom line. Better space, lower turnover expenses, more cohesive staff and culture, higher profits—it is no wonder that the world’s best companies are making this move to top notch office spaces that help recruit and retain high-performing people. Why aren’t you moving, too? Jim Scalo is a broker & developer with Burns Scalo Brokerage LLC.

in a dominant retail node just north of the Interstate 95/695 interchange. Within a three- mile radius of the center are more than 80,000 residents earning an average annual household income of nearly $94,000. The HFF team representing the seller was led by manag- ing director John Owendoff and senior director Jordan Lex . HFF has closed the sale of Chelsea Square, a 96,455 s/f, grocery-anchored shopping center in Lancaster, PA. HFFmarketed the property on behalf of the seller, Bea- con Communities .

Chelsea Square is anchored by Weis, a regional grocer undergoing a period of rapid growth, and is also home di- verse tenant roster of mostly internet-resistant tenants, including Talbots, Jos. A. Bank, M&T, Domino’s Pizza, Great Clips, The Lighting Gallery and ModernEyes Op- tical. Situated on 10.67 acres at 1603-1653 Manheim Pike, the center is located along a retail corridor with visibility to 46,000 vehicles per day and has direct access to the Pennsylvania Tpke.

The HFF team representing the seller included managing director Chris Munley and senior director Carl Fiebig . “Chelsea Square was ac- quired as a broader portfolio transaction,” said Michael Alperin , BeaconCommuni- ties acquisitions and strategic initiatives director. “Beacon Communities is happy to get this real estate in the right local owner’s hands through Goodman Properties. Munley and his team were excellent to work with for a seller more versed in multifamily rather than commercial real estate.” “We have seen an uptick in investor interest within the Lancaster market,” Munley said. “With positive demo- graphic trends and sound existing retail fundamentals, we expect to see continued transactional activity from new-to-market investors, specifically in the grocery- anchored space.”

CORFAC International In a data-driven world, broker relationships still matter
hirty years ago, COR- FAC International was launched to give independent brokerage firms greater geographic reach, without sacrificing the qual- ity of client service or their own autonomy. The idea was to develop a network of non-competing firms led by experienced, respected brokers who either knew each other already, or would build relationships through participation in the network. 1989 was before Big Data, the first Blackberry or even the Internet. Brokers got to T
sional organizations. This approach advances CORFAC’s focus on strong broker relationships, proven expertise and professional in- tegrity and worked 30 years ago. But in a world of social media and data-driven solu- tions, how important are bro- kerage relationships today? The answer: More important than ever. CORFAC is the world’s larg- est network of independent commercial real estate brokers, with affiliates in 75 markets around the world completing 500 million s/f of transactions
valued at $8 billion. Growth is accelerating, as the network has added more than 20 affili- ates worldwide in the past four years. CORFAC is especially strong in the Mid-Atlantic region, the home of several affiliates with longevity in the industry and in the net- work. The Garibaldi Group/ CORFAC International, Cha- tham, New Jersey, has been in business for 100 years and has been a CORFACmember for nearly 30 years. Donohoe Real Estate Services/COR- FAC International, with of-
fices in Bethesda, Maryland, and Vienna, Virginia, was formed 125 years ago and joined the network 20 years ago. Porter Realty Company/ CORFAC International in Richmond, Virginia, was launched 50 years ago and joined CORFAC more than 25 years ago. Patterson- Woods Commercial Proper- ties/CORFAC International, Wilmington, Delaware, has served clients for 50 years and joined CORFAC 18 years ago. “Part of CORFAC’s strength is in the great working rela- tionships and friendships within the organization,” said Greg Ellis, CCIM, Principal of Patterson-Woods Com- mercial Properties/CORFAC International. “We can work with people who we know have the knowledge, skill and integrity to accomplish our clients’ goals.” Firms that join CORFAC almost never leave. The av- erage tenure of a CORFAC firm is 14 years. “CORFAC helps us connect with brokers we can trust who can help us do a great job for our clients when we venture out of our backyard,” said James Garib- aldi, CEO of The Garibaldi Group/CORFAC Internation- al. “The relationships we’ve developed through CORFAC are invaluable to expanding our client relationships.” When a long-term client of Garibaldi had a need in Mil- waukee, Wisconsin, the team worked with the local affili- ate The Dickman Company/ CORFAC International on a multi-year project to identify sites for a strategic manu- facturing facility. The result was a creative opportunity to combine an existing 118,000 s/f office building with a neighboring land site to sup- port a 350,000 s/f build-to- suit manufacturing facility. Simultaneously, Garibaldi worked for the same client with Sansone Group/COR- FAC International in St. Louis, Missouri, this time for a 171,500 s/f manufacturing build-to-suit in Bridgeton, Missouri. The commercial real es- tate industry has changed dramatically in recent de- cades, but one thing has not changed: Broker rela- tionships and expertise are still vital to getting the best execution.
know their peers in other cities through professional credentialing organizations like SIOR and CCIM. In fact, CORFAC was first con- ceived by a group of SIORs at a national conference, and new affiliates often became acquainted with existing members through profes-

By Richard Gacek, Gacek Design Group Biophilic Design: Reconnecting people with their natural environment
I
n today’s society where housing is dense, urban living is prevalent, and
we are separated from it, our health and wellbeing is ef- fected in a negative way. Enter Biophilic Design. Bio- philic design is a sustainable, architectural interiors solution that reconnects people with their natural environment. Research shows when natural elements are integrated into interior spaces, (and inspira- tional, mindful places are de- signed), the result gives us live and work environments that are productive, welcoming, healthy, and less stressful. Biophilic design is not a new concept. Scientists, re-
searchers, and practitioners have been working for years to define those elements in nature that can have the most positive impact on our built environments. It seems that in recent years with the popu- larity of health, wellness, and ways to lessen your impact on the environment, there has been a heightened awareness to those practices that support it. Green building attempts to use eco-friendly building materials and construction procedures to provide better living. And research on human biology continues to work to in-
tegrate meaningful elements that evoke emotion such as: Why crackling fires and crash- ing waves captivate us; Why a garden view can enhance our creativity; Why shadows and heights introduce fascination and fear; andWhy companion- ship and strolling through a park have restorative, healing effects. Of course, this is a sim- plistic view of how biophilic design actually works. The 14 Patterns of Biophilic De- sign , a white paper created by Terrapin, a sustainability consulting firm, looks in detail
at the relationships between nature, human biology and built environment’s design in order to experience the human benefits of biophilia. The 14 patterns provide a series of tools for understanding design opportunities, including the roots of the science behind each pattern. Metrics and strategies are then identified for how to use each pattern. Patterns are organized into three categories: Nature in the Space Patterns , includes the direct presence of nature in the space, (for example: plant life, breezes, sounds, scents, bird feeders, butterfly gardens, water features, court- yard gardens and green walls or vegetated roofs). Nature of the Space Patterns, includes designing a space to evoke emotions you experience in nature, (for example: seeing a view over a distance, experi- encing a place for withdrawal from environmental conditions or the main flow of activity, in which the individual is pro- tected). Natural Analogues Patterns bring objects, mate- rials, colors, shapes, and pat- terns found in nature, in the form of artwork, accessories, furniture, and textiles into the built environment, (for example: shells and leaves, furniture with organic shapes and natural materials that have been processed or exten- sively altered). Interior Design Trends. Some of the most effective el- ements that can contribute to the wellbeing of those within it include natural materials, (reclaimed or sustainably sourced woods and flooring to look like a forest floor or a riv- erbed); natural light (skylights with views to nature); natural ventilation, plant life (potted plants, green walls); and views of the natural world (murals and landscape art). It’s im- portant to note that biophilic design works best in an overall built environment. When add- ing natural elements, make sure the entire interior en- vironment is connected, just like how all living things are connected, and bound together as a community. RichardGacek is theprin- cipal designer of Gacek De- sign Group. Gacek Design Group is a leading interior design and architectural consulting firm for those who value expertise and partnership in design.
