In a recent webinar, the authors of the NAIOP Office Space Demand Forecast provided insights and data from the latest report covering the fourth quarter of 2020, including overall economic trends and factors influencing demand, and their predictions for when the office sector could recover in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In “The Evolution of the Warehouse: Trends in Technology, Design, Development and Delivery,” authors Steve Weikal and James Robert Scott detail the industry advances, consumer trends and emerging technologies that are driving a rapidly growing sector. Although their work at the MIT Real Estate Innovation Lab regularly immerses both Weikal and Scott in the topic, working on the report by the NAIOP Research Foundation exposed them to a striking array of future business opportunities within the warehouse segment.

This sector of industrial was booming even before the pandemic, and future demand is expected to soar even higher.

In the age of one-hour package shipments, the infrastructure needed to serve a growing on-demand culture is scrambling to keep up. This has taken on even greater significance amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced millions to stay home for months.

Meet the Mentors!

A bipartisan group of senators unveiled details of their coronavirus relief package yesterday, representing lawmakers’ latest push to move an aid bill before year’s end. The proposal is comprised of two separate bills: the first contains roughly $750 billion for education, unemployment benefits, vaccine distribution, and other funds, while the second provides $160 billion in state and local aid, as well as liability protections for businesses. The latter provisions have proven contentious and were frequently cited as key reasons for holding up earlier negotiations.

Recent clarifications didn’t significantly change the law, but investors should be aware of these modifications.

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act introduced tax benefits to incentivize investment in specially designated zones (Qualified Opportunity Zones, or QOZs) in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. The Opportunity Zone laws generated buzz because, among other benefits, they allowed qualified projects held for at least 10 years to exclude capital gains upon sale.

While 2020 didn’t go as planned, it didn’t stop NAIOP Charlotte members from continuing to connect and engage with each other and industry experts in the CRE community. Check out the many highlights from our events this past year. In addition, the Chapter thanked the 2020 Cornerstone Sponsors during an appreciation event and held a special event to welcome new members.
