Office in the Covid-19 Era

O ver the past thirty years many corporate of f ices have given way to cubicles or open work spaces. Some office buildings developed before 1990 with parking ratios of fewer than 4 spaces per 1,000 s/f became functionally obsolete as park- ing ratios of 5 or 6 spaces per 1,000 s/f became the norm for many tenants. In recent years, the use of shared work - spaces by sole proprietors, independent contractors, and employees working remotely exploded – the demand was met largely by WeWork and similar entities that empha- sized large interactive com - mon areas and limited office space. Covid-19 roared into the Mid-Atlantic States in mid- March 2020, and nothing has been the same since. Firms were forced to adapt almost overnight to employees work- ing remotely. During the past four months, companies

perfected remote access and most employees transitioned well to working from home; in fact, a large percentage of employees prefer working from home to commuting one or two hours a day and risking exposure to Covid-19. The current situation raises several questions about the future of office space. Most important to this discussion is whether businesses will outsource their needs for of - fice space and how they will accomplish that goal. So long as Covid-19 is a sig - nificant danger to the health of office workers, businesses are likely to encourage employees

to work from home. However, it is possible that preschool children will not return to daycare and students will not return to campuses in the fall. In order to maintain a high level of productivity, those who work remotely may require more privacy than is offered in a home environment. The shared office model offered by companies such as WeWork or IWG (for- merly Regus) do not appear to offer the degree of social distancing and privacy that are desired in the Covid-19 era. In addition, the severe reduction in business travel continued on page 18A

time to ask what your com- pany wants. In what ways are company goals not being supported? How can office space as a whole contribute to the attainment of these goals? How can unified office design support the happiness of employees? Survival is not just created by decisions in the present, but rather mea - sured decisions in the past that form the foundation of your survival today. Navigating corporate goals through strategy, brainstorm - ing, and stakeholder meetings is great. Navigating corporate goals through office design is the next step. Achieving cor - porate goals and standards is facilitated and promoted through good design. Good design promotes your goals by altering physiologically in- fluential components of your office. Good design can make employees feel more collabor- ative, or more focused on their own work. It can promote a sense of individual owner - ship, or rally team spirit. It can enhance the feeling of

psychological safety. A quick Google search with the terms “employee produc - tivity” and “feeling respected” will yield you 117,000,000 results that drive home the breaking point of our corpo- rate goals. A Harvard Busi - ness Review survey from 2013 found that people who reported feeling respected by their boss were 55% more engaged at work. Now is the opportunity to let employees know that business is reliant on the contribution. Jumping into a redesign in these hectic times can seem intimidating. Here at HF Planners we can help guide you through the unknowns, in order to take advantage of the perfect redesign storm that we are experiencing.

Activity is limited to a visit from an employee here or there to retrieve paperwork, or maybe some struggling office plants from their desks.

Commercial Real Estate Post COVID-19 Outlook Panel by: Robert Stenta (CIRC President) and Jay L. White,MAI CRE (CIRC Vice President)

“W ithout the ability to meet in person at our monthly membership meetings, on June 25 th we hosted our first-ever CIRC Zoom meeting, with an es- teemed panel of commercial real estate professionals and over 150 industry attendees. Here is a brief summary of what was discussed and what we learned. The COVID-19 business shutdown was swift as it spread over the local econo- my, drastically changing consumer behavior and forc- ing area landlords, brokers, and economic development

COVID-19 has changed many things, including our industry. But after dealing with adversity and adapting to the "New Nor- mal," hopefully with a vaccine over the mid-term, the market uncertainty will surely diminish and, eventually, we can resume business and economic gains. Hopefully we will be able to look back on these days with pride in the way we worked together to get through it safely. But until that day, we have a lot of work to do, so let’s get to it!” Look for CIRC's upcoming events in the fall, starting September 9.

professionals to adapt to the uncertainty of the market as well. Most of the com- mercial landlords have reported the need to provide some sort of rent relief to a portion of their tenants, primarily to re- tailers. Typically this relief has been in the form of rent deferrals as opposed to rent reductions or abatements. Retail tenants have clearly been the most impacted, with restaurants, day cares, salons, and, of course, fitness centers being the hardest hit. While some office tenants have been adversely impacted, most have been able to proceed smoothly with their employees working from home, and, while they aren’t excited about paying for space they aren’t using at the moment, they have continued to pay their rents, largely, on time and in full. On a positive note, residential multi- family leasing activity and rent collec- tions have remained strong, while hotels are slowly, but surely, recovering after a significant and painful drop in their occupancy rates that occurred when almost all business and personal travel came to a screeching halt in March. The “shining star” in all the commercial real estate sectors, post-COVID, has been industrial. With its important place in our world when it comes to the manufac- turing, storage, and delivery of essential products and goods, demand for indus- trial space has increased and shows no signs of slowing down. In Delaware, construction was deemed essential during the shutdown, allowing major construction projects to continue with new safety guidelines. Amazon’s

massive (3.8 million square foot) distri- bution center on a portion of the former GM Boxwood plant at Del. 141 was one of the most visible projects we have watched proceed rapidly during the shut- down. In addition, the demolition of the former DuPont Barley Mill Plaza office complex was also completed during the shutdown, continuing to pave the way for a mixed-use complex which will include Delaware’s first Wegmans. In short, our panelists, and most of CIRC’s membership, have kept very busy combating the impacts of the virus in its own unique ways. Whether it is by help- ing a company get its paperwork together to apply for a federal PPP loan, working through a rent deferment plan, retrofit- ting offices to promote more social dis- tancing, or ensuring office buildings have enhanced cleaning/janitorial services to fight the virus and make it safe for people to return to the office. There is so much we are doing to help our community through these challenging times. With more projects pushing forward as our industry looks to the future, the com- mercial real estate community is banking on people desperately wanting to get back out into the world. Whether for a face-to-face meeting with a client after months of “Zoom Fatigue,” or shar- ing a great meal with friends at a favorite restaurant, commercial real estate will always be a very important part of all of our lives.

By Mark Scott, Commercial Mortgage Capital The market is no longer February’s market…

will the November election bring us? A new administra - tion has promised to pull the plug on the 1031 and the overall real estate market. Many moving parts to the new COVID economy. Front line loan officers still have the desire to make loans. Banks are flush with cash, CMBS lenders have found a new market floor to dance on, and life companies seek to cherry pick the deals. The number of cherry deals are shrinking as rent collections in most asset classes, have been adversely impacted by

the pandemic. True—Headline interest rates are down. Treasuries are down, spreads are a bit wider. Beware though, of the effective cost of loans in many loan products is a bit more than the headline numbers. Multifamily agency lenders are now requiring significant debt service reserves (some as much as a year) which serves to suppress usable proceeds and increases the effective cost of loans. CMBS lend- ers are toying with and now requiring a “COVID Interest Reserve”. This new reserve is

E

As a result of these changes, the velocity of transactions in all sectors has slowed as buyers, sellers, borrowers and lenders adjust to a new reality, a new world of risks and a new period of price discovery. In the world of mortgage fi - nance, daily, I ammade aware by lenders of credit officers tightening lending standards as the future is still quite unclear. Fear of the future abounds. Will there be a cure or vaccine to shift market direction? Will government support of the consumer and businesses continue? What

to be held based on the status of the local and state COVID orders at the location of the property. Escrow funds may not be released until Stage IV levels (for example as in NY State; now on July 24) are achieved. Buyer beware in the new COVID market. For mortgage bankers (such as yours truly) times are good. Many borrower relationship lenders have been disrupted or adversely impacted. Thus the increased assistance of an experienced mortgage banker can assist in sourcing capital. Although transactional sales activity is down, owners should be reviewing their portfolios seeking any and all oppor - tunity to employ a mortgage banker and work to lower their borrowing costs and overall cost of capital.

MAREJ CMC secures $19M in financing for 504 multi-family units LIVINGSTON, NJ — Liv- ingston based, Commercial Mortgage Capital , recently announced it secured $19 million in financing for 504 garden apartment units.

The new project will still fuel their passion of providing affordable hous- ing to New York residents while also providing Ingersoll House funds for necessary repairs. Brad Domenico of Prog- ress Capital arranged a $30 million loan from Natixis (se- nior) and Libremax Capital (mezz) for the acquisition of 202 Tillary St. in 2018. When Jorge Madruga and Eli

Weiss had the ability to pur- chase the additional acreage and air rights from NYCHA, Domenico went back to Libre- max, who upsized their mezz position by advancing an ad- ditional $22 million. “I always tell my clients that relationships are often more important than rate shopping, especially when it comes to development.

as fee ownership, co-ownership, leasehold, easement, option to acquire real property as well as a license, permit, similar rights solely for the use, enjoyment or occupation of land and/or inher- ently permanent structure. The Proposed Treasury Regulations also clarified that local law definitions are not control- ling in determining whether property is real property and noted that every distinct asset must be analyzed separately to determine if the asset qualifies as real property. Also, in June 1031 exchange activity picked up considerably and this trend has continued into July and shows no signs of slowing down soon. The mix of 1031 exchange activity has changed from early spring until now. There are considerably more residential exchanges and transactions involving 1-4 units, land, vaca- tion homes held for investment, farms/ranches compared to commercial exchange transac- tions. There are several reasons for the uptick in residential exchange activity: Residential 1031 Exchange Market • The normal strong spring selling season was compressed and has been pushed back a couple of months into summer and likely fall. • Historically low-interest rates have made financing resi - dential transactions especially attractive for investors and homeowners. The interest rate for a 30-year mortgage dropped below 3% making the cost of financing very attractive and boosting cash flow for investors. • In late March and April, many sellers decided not to list their properties as no one wanted strangers tour- ing homes when there was so much uncertainty regarding COVID-19. The lack of new listings led to less inventory and more demand for exist- ing properties on the market. In fact, residential demand is so robust that many areas nationally are currently seeing bidding wars for residential properties. These bidding wars affect both home buyers and those seeking to purchase single-family rental (SFR) properties in 1031 exchanges. It is not uncommon for a prop- erty to go under contract the same day it hits the real es- tate market. This has created a challenging situation for continued on page 18A

he 1031 exchange mar- ket nationally has been like a roller coaster this

and/or shelter at home. The Treasury provided tax relief to some investors with Notice 2020-23 which extended many deadlines for investors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in- cluding Section 1031 exchange time deadlines. Notice 2020-23 extended the 45-day identi- fication period deadline and 180-day exchange period for certain investors until July 15, 2020. (Note: There is no further extension in place currently.) After a large drop in ex- change transactions, where ac- tivity was about half of normal in late March and April, inMay

exchange transactional volume trended upward slightly as states slowly anticipated loos- ening restrictions and business- es reopened again. Addition- ally, real estate professionals and investors were beginning to adjust to virtual transac- tions. Video and interactive tours of properties replaced in-person inspections and walk- throughs. Closing offices and the title insurance industry innovated quickly in response to these new challenges. The marketplace adjusted to closing transactions virtually as new technologies and processes like

virtual notaries rapidly evolved to help sellers and buyers’ close transactions. On June 11, 2020, the Trea- sury released proposed regula- tions addressing what is consid- ered “real property” for Section 1031 exchange purposes after the enactment of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA.) The proposed Treasury Regulations defined real property as land, “inher- ently permanent structures,” “structural components” of inherently permanent struc- tures, unsevered crops, water and space adjacent to land, interest in real property such
