As e-commerce eats up an increasingly large share of retail sales, warehouses remain in high demand.
This was the assessment of experts at RERC, a SitusAMC company, who recently discussed some property type valuation trends in the commercial real estate (CRE) market. Their conclusions were included in the November 2019 RERC Real Estate Report, “Global Realities.”
OFFICE
Unemployment is hovering around 50-year lows, supporting the office sector; however, leading indicators of business and CEO confidence have declined in 2019, indicating pessimism about future office performance.
Changes in the office sector are contributing to a wider spread between haves and have-nots. Bifurcation typically increases before, and especially during, a downturn. With tenant improvements (Tis) and concessions on the rise, buildings that can be easily adapted are in high demand.
Demographic and employment trends are presenting secular headwinds for the sector; the baby boomers are getting ready to retire in droves and tenants continue to reduce their footprints as communal spaces become more popular and technology impacts the way people work and use spaces.
Slowing employment growth will decrease demand for office space and put pressure on rent growth. We anticipate limited growth in the sector, but not a major correction.
The demise of WeWork could result in a flood of excess space in the market. NYC, San Francisco and Seattle have the greatest WeWork exposure, but the effect on the value of office space isn’t clear yet.
INDUSTRIAL
Record low unemployment and continued wage growth is supporting consumer spending and growth in online sales, boosting demand for warehouses.
However, U.S. manufacturing activity slowed to a 10-year low in September 2019 and is contracting due to trade war fears. U.S. industrial production has generally declined since December 2018, with large declines between August and October 2019 and decreases across all major market and industry groups.
Industrial markets that rely on international trade will be the most hurt by the trade wars, while industrial centers along major arterial highways and those that can provide last-mile logistics are trading at a premium.
The industrial sector remains the highest performing property type, with strong fundamentals and investor demand, as the online shopping trend continues to be a big disruptor in retail sales. This is boosting demand for industrial warehouses, especially those that can provide last-mile logistics.
The face of the industrial sector is changing as technological trends take hold in the supply chain. Space efficiency is key with properties needing to accommodate thinner forklifts, increased minimum heights that allow for high stacking and little to no space between aisles. Multistory warehouses may be a solution to a lack of available land for industrial spaces. Cold storage is another popular trend in the industry, especially as grocery delivery (e.g., AmazonFresh) gains in popularity.
RETAIL
Steady employment and wage growth combined with low inflation have lifted consumer confidence and supported consumer spending, but recently momentum has been slowing across these indicators. The retail industry is also benefiting from a quarter over quarter (QoQ) and year over year (YoY) increase in disposable personal income and personal consumption expenditures in 3Q 2019; the Consumer Confidence Index has been down throughout 3Q compared to the earlier part of the year, but remains near pre-recession highs.
The trend continues to be transforming abandoned big box or anchor tenant space into entertainment-use space. Developers are doing anything to contribute to the live-work-play focus of many of these new mixed-use retail redevelopments.
Experiential retail, retail concepts that include a restaurant, full bar, event space and activity space (bowling lanes, arcade games, music stage, etc.), have been coming in to mall anchor stores or outdoor shopping centers. These tenants help retail properties by occupying once-vacant space and contribute to the success of the center as they draw large crowds for various events.
The e-commerce revolution has led, in large part, to the decline of traditional large brick-and-mortar stores. E-commerce increased nearly 17% YoY in 3Q 2019. Over 9,000 physical stores are expected to close by the end of 2019, most coming from large format stores like Kmart and Sears or traditional mall occupants like Victoria’s Secret, Forever 21, Gap and Charlotte Russe.
Bifurcation in the retail market is due to changing consumer preferences, underlying consumer demand and the prevalence of online shopping. It is a tale of the haves and have-nots. There are thriving, high-quality properties in desirable locations, but these spaces are hard to find. Lower-quality properties are becoming obsolete. At this stage in the cycle, determining which tenants will survive the so-called retail apocalypse is critical.
APARTMENT
Lack of affordable housing is a national issue keeping more people in apartments. Strong demand, coupled with exceptionally low unemployment and a recent increase in wage growth, has led to high rent growth.
However, the top of the market has been challenged with concessions continuing for high-end apartments. Investors and landlords are relying on value-add plays and more amenities.
Many investors are trying to sell because they don’t see rents growing any further. The value of top-tier apartments has stagnated and many investors are trying to sell them; even some secondary markets are feeling the pressure.

LOS ANGELES — Sher-e-Bangla Nagor, Bangladesh’s parliament building, also known as Tiger City, has been praised by architects and art historians as “futuristic and ancient at the same time,” a marvel and a monument to a new and emerging democracy.
“Louis Kahn’s Tiger City,” a new documentary directed by Sundaram Tagore, tells the unlikely story of how Kahn (1901-1974), an American architect, came to design one of the world’s great architectural sites in a country and culture so different from his own.
Susan Johnston, Founder/Director of the New Media Film Festival, discovered Tagore’s film and is distributing the documentary via Amazon and other media. (To see the film, click here.)
Tagore — who wrote, produced and directed the film — is a Calcutta-born art historian, gallery owner, and award-winning filmmaker. Tagore narrates the film, which also chronicles his journey discovering the history and creation of Tiger City. In 1985, Tagore received a scholarship to travel to Bangladesh to study the buildings of Louis I. Kahn. He writes that upon touring Tiger City, “I was unprepared for the raw emotional power and poetic beauty of these buildings. Tiger City looked futuristic and ancient at the same time.”
“Louis Kahn’s Tiger City” makes extensive use of archival and news footage, as well as interviews with architects, historians and political leaders. Kahn’s children Nathaniel Kahn and Sue Ann Kahn also pay touching tributes to their father’s legacy. Tagore chronicles Tiger City’s vital connection to Bangladesh’s war for independence from Pakistan. Before its independence, Bangladesh was East Pakistan, and Tiger City was originally a project of the Pakistani government. Kahn worked on the project beginning in 1962 until his death in 1974. By that time, Bangladesh had established its independence, and Tiger City, located in the capital of Dhaka, became the symbol of the hopes and aspirations of the new, emerging democracy.
Kahn held teaching positions at Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania. Kahn’s many designs include The Salk Institute in La Jolla, California; the Yale University Art Gallery; the Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh; and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park in New York.
Tagore’s debut film, “The Poetics of Color: Natvar Bhavsar, An Artist’s Journey,” premiered at the MIAAC Film Festival in New York City in 2010 and garnered several festival awards, including The Accolade, The Indie Fest, and the esteemed Singaporean National Critics Choice Readers Award for Best New Art Film Epic Documentary of the Year, and Best New Director (2012).

Digitpol’s Wi-Fi experts are certain Wi-Fi and IOT over-the-air attacks will rise in 2020. The Cybersecurity expert is warning businesses around the globe to make their Wi-Fi routers secure due to the increase in cyber attacks.
Digitpol, A cybersecurity and investigation firm based in The Netherlands has warned business owners to ensure Wi-Fi routers are locked down, secured, fully updated with the new security standard WPA3 implemented. Digitpol’s digital forensic researchers recently detailed new types of Wi-Fi attacks which were discovered by investigating large data leaks, all of which occurred on the WPA2 security standard. The attacks allowed hackers to crack Wi-Fi passwords on business grade routers regardless of how strong the passwords were set to. In every case, Digitpol discovered that rogue Wi-Fi devices were nearby to conduct interception.
Digitpol developed a probe named “Wi-Fi Signal Analysis” to detect Wi-Fi snooping, payload injection, rogue devices and Wi-Fi Spying in seconds, the probe operates on-location and the data is sent to an AI based database for analysis which then alerts CSO and CIO’s. The probe has prevented thousands of hacking attempts on business networks and prevented spying on devices installed.
Digitpol’s Signal Analysis Probe
Wi-Fi attacks are more common on business networks than personal ones and have been discovered in major investigations. According to cybersecurity firm Avast, a vulnerability in MikroTik WiFi routers has affected nearly 2.5 lakh routers across the globe, leaving them vulnerable to crypto-mining and other forms of cyber-attacks. Of the total affected routers, 11,809 routers in India have been affected.
Brazil is most affected with 85,230 routers being affected. Avast stated that hackers have exploited a vulnerability ‘CVE-2018-14847’. This is a vulnerability on Winbox, which is the operating system for MicroTik routers. All its versions will 6.42 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and read arbitrary files. This then allows them to execute attacks ranging from cryptomining to eavesdropping. Avast suspects that the routers were targeted by cryptomining campaign ‘JS:InfectedMikroTik’.
According to researchers at Netlab 360, a new botnet is actively spreading its network using unpatched Wi-Fi routers such as D-Link, Huawei, Netgear, called as Mozi, it’s using telnet to exploit systems with weak passwords and adds every device into its network with a final goal of performing DDoS attack.
This botnet is first surfaced by Netlab 360’s team of threat monitoring. They’ve flagged this new botnet after studying it for nearly four months. Named as Mozi, this new botnet is found using a part of Gafgyt’s code and is based on DHT protocol.
While Gafgyt is just another malware infecting systems, Distributed Hash Table is a custom protocol based on standard ones and is used commonly in torrent clients (and other P2P services. This protocol helps in hiding its malware payload behind the huge amount of DHT traffic, thus making it harder to detect the malicious code passing through the network. Further, it’s faster to expand connections in the network without the use of servers.
After scanning the environment, Mozi finds a vulnerable device like router or CCTV with a weak password and cracks using telnet. After logging in, it then drops/executes the payload to take full control of the unpatched device. And this will be added to the P2P network immediately, once this happens hackers have full access.
Digitpol’s Wi-Fi experts are certain Wi-Fi and IOT over-the-air attacks will rise in 2020, Digitpol’s team are conducting Wi-Fi audits for business across Europe, the probe audits details such as the number of connected devices on a network, Wi-Fi traffic, approved Wi-Fi devices, security flaws, un-authorized devices and instant upgrades. The audits have so far discovered out-of-date firmware allowing remote control, hijacked routers, modified firmware, many connected un-authorised devices and active interception. The probe can be deployed as a fixed install to sites to detect Wi-Fi interference within 900ms.
Hidden Wi-Fi networks are a big issue inside commercial organisations and government, recently Digitpol identified over 18 hidden networks at one location using its Signal Analysis Probe. Wi-Fi base stations can hide or cloak their identities, these base stations are identified in the probe.
Analysis from the Signal Analysis Probe in a cloud database displays the vast number of hidden devices at a location.
How Wi-Fi networks should look and appear with a SSID and a recognized MAC, as a comparison between hidden, abnormal and normal, the difference is clear.
Digitpol can conduct an RF site survey at your location and provide a report detailing any issues which can be traced and solved on the spot. More information is available at https://digitpol.com/wifi-network-forensics/
