The Lending Squeeze makes for Sharp Pencils
The Lending Squeeze makes for a Very Sharp Pencil in the Kansas City Commercial Real Estate World. Commercial Real Estate (CRE) is becoming more challenging in Kansas City as lenders are tightening their standards and raising their rates amid the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes. The lending squeeze is affecting various property types, such as office, industrial, and multifamily, and could lead to lower demand, higher vacancies, and lower rents.
The lending squeeze has made it harder for commercial real estate owners and investors to refinance their existing loans, acquire new properties, or fund development projects. This has created a very competitive environment, where borrowers have to offer more attractive terms and conditions to secure financing. Even with the Industrial Market in Kansas City seeing a strong demand and supply growth, the more resilient properties are not immune to this new challenge.

The Aftermath of Covid-19
The pandemic created a dramatic effect in regards to the retail and office markets, leaving industrial and multi-family properties almost unscatheted. The Hospitality and Restaurant industries took a blow with workers not wanting to return to work after the notorious shutdowns, and those back-firing stimulus checks. It’s a slow climb back, but it will take some time. The 2020/2021 Survival of the Fittest will always be remembered.

The Work-From-Home Movement
Before the Pandemic, most people I knew said they could not work from home if they had to. It does take self-discipline and accountability to yourself. It requires more of a self rewarding situation in goal achievement. Then in 2020…Out of necessity, the Work-from-Home Movement began and affected the Office Sector across the board. And now, the Hybrid is born. How will this affect the Office Market in the future with the changes that need to be made to satisfy the distancing requirements.

Opportunities In Commercial Real Estate Markets
The real question of the day of real estate investment is…Retail, Office, Multi-Family, or Industrial?? Depends on the purpose (or the Re-Purpose?). With some employees returning to work, the cost of each employee space has become more expensive;; therefore, creating hybrid space or flex hours/days, or even for some of the very large office components scaling down their space requirement, this may well spark “The Great Re-Purposing Era.”

The Industrial Market Solidity
Let’s just say that we know shopping online will never go away. And we have been forced to enter more of this type of shopping than we had ever expected. Most of us before the pandemic had dabbled with ordering online (some a lot more than others) items most of the brick and mortar stores did not carry. Or if they did carry those items. we got an incredible price online. Industrial and Warehouse properties have always been pretty solid before, but now more so than ever due to the turbocharged e-commerce and work-from-home movement.
