Using new data, dynamic submarkets are identified to predict the outperformance of retail assets
Researchers from CoStar Group, Inc. CSGP – a leading provider of online property marketplaces, information and analysis for the commercial and residential real estate markets – today unveiled a new look at recovery trends in the property market. commercial real estate in the aftermath of the global pandemic.
According to analysts at CoStar Group, Live-Work-Play desktop nodes are emerging as a trend that can help protect urban retailers from high levels of remote working.
“Before the pandemic, retail in urban office areas served as easily accessible amenities for office workers – perfect for running errands and grabbing lunch with colleagues or a client – however, the physical occupation of offices still well below the pre-pandemic benchmark, urban retail sites continue to miss an important revenue stream,” said Peter Ferramosca, Consultant, CoStar Group. “Our research revealed that mixed-use development trends that create a ‘live-work-play’ environment could limit the negative effect of reduced office use on nearby retail and have the potential to deliver outsized returns to investors.”
Of the office nodes identified by CoStar Group researchers, the Hudson Waterfront submarket and the NoMa submarket in Washington DC stood out the most.
According to data from the CoStar Group, more than half of Hudson Waterfront’s commercial real estate inventory is made up of rental apartments (RBA). Additionally, retail rent growth in Hudson Waterfront outpaced the broader New York retail market by 90 basis points between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2022.
Ferramosca continued, “Our data tells us that office nodes with relatively high densities of multi-family units could offer greater sales potential to local retailers. On average, apartment dwellers spend more regularly during the week on necessities and continuing to increase weekend spending on shopping and entertainment, making it a potentially prosperous environment.”
Buoyed by both its stability from the concentration of government offices and its inventory comprised of 33% multi-family housing, Washington DC’s NoMa submarket is another standout example. Retail vacancies in this office node were compressed 4.3% more than DC as a whole.
