Navigating the Minneapolis/St. Paul Commercial Real Estate Market
Strong demand for building sales was evident throughout the metropolitan area. Limited supply of product resulted in upward pressure on sale prices.
8.2% vacancylowest in 15 years
INDUSTRIAL
Supply Tightens, East Metro Gains Steam
Even as some pockets become overbuilt, the Northwest and Southwest submarkets remain in demand for occupiers and investors alike.
The Northeast and Southeast submarkets
accounted for 1 msf of positive absorption.
The second half of 2016 will likely see some
slowdown, but new development and leasing
activity is expected to remain overwhelmingly
positive.
The office market is on an even keel. The space absorbed during the first half is by no means a big move for the market, yet it is a comfortable level considering that the office real estate market may be moving into the later stages of its recovery.
Robust investment sales over the past three years have driven rents higher as new owners invest in capital improvements. Some tenants may now be priced out of the class A market.
Several developers continue to prelease new development projects but will likely wait to build until they have firm anchor commitments in hand
The market will see significant negative absorption in the second half of 2016, mostly from tenants leaving the multi-tenant market for single-tenant buildings.
15.6% vacancyapproaching pre-recession levels
Market Holds Steady Course
OFFICE
The market is space constrained and competitive, and most new spaces aren’t staying vacant for long. Retailers face two major obstacles: lack of available quality space and rising rates.
6.7% vacancyreflecting competitive market
Grocery and junior box retailers fueled much of the activity in the first six months of the year, with several new Hy-Vee, Fresh Thyme, Whole Foods Market and other stores opening.
Names such as Tim Horton’s and Dunkin’ Donuts will continue to grab headlines in the fast casual sector.
With few exceptions, new construction projects have tended to be fully or mostly leased well before building opening, meaning that rent rates are high enough and vacancy is low enough to justify new construction.
Feels Pressure on Rates, Renovations
RETAIL
The common theme in 2016 continues to be the abundant investment capital in the market and where to place it. There is more demand than there is supply of for-sale assets.
Many potential buyers sought properties with a laser focus on specific property types or categories, taking a careful, thoughtful approach to their underwriting before closing.
Even with the supply lagging, the market is still on pace to match or exceed sales records for a year.
Industrial properties, meanwhile, continue to draw torrid demand but many property owners are reluctant to sell thanks to attractive yields.

The Twin Cities multi-tenant market fundamentals continued to improve throughout the first half of 2016... Every sector reported positive results,
and except for a few pockets of softness, every sector should see continued improvement throughout the balance of the year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In the face of decreasing inventories, the land market has remained active, with sales torrid especially in the multi-family and industrial sectors.
Industrial Prices Up 10% from pre-recession peaks
With most of their inventory built out, developers are looking for the next hot development area.
Retail land sites are hot commodities, as developers sought out sites in the first-ring suburbs for new neighborhood-level retail centers.
Residential land, especially for multi-family, is tough to come by, but developers are actively seeking out parcels for housing.
Sales Active Despite Decreasing Inventories
LAND
The multi-family sector is continuing to fire on all cylinders with near-record-high occupancies, steady rent growth and robust development. Booming construction over the past four years has not put a damper on key fundamentals.
The market is expected to deliver about 3,900 new units this year, topping last year’s 3,100, but development has shifted outward into such suburbs as Maple Grove, Woodbury and Edina.
A steady pipeline of new units remains to keep developers busy into 2017, but the market could take a step back after that, especially if aging Millennials follow through on their interest in home ownership.
Concessions have already started to creep into the class A market, but it remains to be seen whether they will stay.

As the Twin Cities healthcare market continues adjusting to new models of healthcare delivery and the impacts of the Affordable Care Act, demand for space in the multi-tenant medical office market continued at a solid pace in the first half of 2016.
Medical users such as TRIA Orthopaedic, Fairview and Summit Orthopedics have continued to announce plans throughout the year to leave multi-tenant properties typical of the 1990s and move into large, single-tenant projects.
Healthcare reform has created significant transition in the C-Suite of the prominent systems in this market, with as many as 11 new CEOs, COOs or CFOs already in office or expected to start soon.
Deliveries will slow in 2016, but more than 675,000 sf is on pace for opening in 2017 or beyond.

HOTELS
Still Robust, New Development Underway
Minneapolis-St. Paul is still a seller’s market, with buyers bidding up prices.
Limited-service remains the hottest category for developers, with concepts catering to Millennials in development from all the major hotel chains.
A construction slowdown is expected in the Twin Cities, but projects continue all over the market in anticipation of major events such as the 2018 Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four in 2019 and more.
