The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA for short, is a federal "Superfund" program enacted and enforced by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CERCLA mandates the government to regulate, investigate, manage, and clean up sites that are contaminated with dangerous substances via hazardous waste disposal. In addition, through CERCLA, the EPA is mandated to identify businesses, organizations, and other entities that are considered pollutants or are engaging in hazardous waste disposal. The agency then requires them to clean up the contaminated site. Alternatively, the EPA may also clean up the site using the Superfund trust fund. During or after the cleanup, the EPA can use legal agreements and settlements with responsible entities so the agency can recover the costs it incurred. CERCLA Liability on Site Owners, Operators and Tenants In March 2018, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018, an omnibus spending bill, was signed into law. Inside this law is a provision dubbed as the Brownfields Utilization, Investment, and Local Development Act of 2018 (BUILD), which amends certain sections of the CERCLA. These changes include CERCLA creating 4 classes of covered persons that are referred to as "potentially responsible parties," or PRPs: - past…

Supply@ME Capital PLC (LN: SYME) is a financial technology vendor platform that provides an alternate way for businesses to raise capital by minding their own stock. Manufacturing and commerce companies can strengthen their cash flow and capital positions via a true sale' of the warehouse holdings to special purpose vehicles integrated by SYME, which also creates a new asset class for investors. We think SYME's shares are undervalued in the current variety of £0.50-£0.60 and might expect more movement in the £2.00 to £2.50 bucket to Q12021. SYME isn't a conventional lender, despite fulfilling most of the middleman duties. As a pure service provider, SYME matches funding providers with firms in need of liquidity. The assortment of industries it serves is almost infinite. The exclusive version permits special purpose vehicles (stock companies), integrated by Supply@ME to buy the inventory, which is subsequently leased back to the company, never leaving the warehouse. As a pure-play digital creditor or a stock-loan lender, SYME is up against powerful incumbents, with very little ability to increase the kinds of sums needed to make a dent in the aerospace or chemicals marketplace. Where SYME disagrees is its position as a simple service provider, taking away…

Virtual reality (VR) is getting prominent day by day and employed by most industries. VR technology and headsets are ending up additionally winding up increasingly steady and reasonable – and it's changing each sector, including real estate.   The business, set apart by its huge arrangements and expansive ticket sizes, has been doing things a similar route for quite a long time – however, new-age generation appear to need a change. Here are some manners by which VR is changing real estate:   Showcasing real estate like never before With VR, real estate organizations and specialists can utilize advanced digital imaging to capture a property completely and exhibit it to their customers. Suppose, you want to purchase a new home and get to see each of its features from the comfort of your own home or office. How good is that?

The manufactured home industry appears to be riding the wave of economic prosperity the U.S. is experiencing, and indicators point to sustained growth moving forward. Although the country continues to experience determined economic growth, historically low unemployment, wage growth, and substantial gains by America's middle class, a tight real estate market continues to keep site-built homeownership at arm's length for many. In recent years, the high-population Millennial demographic has emerged as the top buyers of starter homes. With many in this population bubble in their 30s, careers have blossomed, families have begun to grow, and they are fierce competitors for urban and suburban single-family homes. Millennial buying power coupled with low inventory has reportedly caused an uptick in site-built pricing. If you are curious about what this has to do with the manufactured home sector, quite a lot. New site-built construction has not kept pace with America's single-family home needs. In 2018, only approximately 840,000 new units were built. Although rising gradually since 2010, that figure stands in stark contrast to more than 1.5 million at the turn of the century, according to the Census. The country's population has grown from approximately 282 million in 2000 to 327 million in…

Commercial Real Estate Glossary of Terms and Definitions Negotiating commercial lease agreements can be an arduous process. Commercial leases often involve complex clauses, extensive paperwork and ambiguous language. Below we have compiled a glossary of standard commercial real estate definitions and concepts. This guide is intended to serve as reference for various lease terminology and common points of negotiation seen in the industry. These definitions represent major disciplines in the commercial property field, including developers, investors, financers, landlords and tenants -- with a primary focus on multi-tenant office and industrial lease terms. Because lease terms are often used interchangeably, it's important to avoid making any assumptions based on how a lease is characterized. Carefully review lease documents to understand the obligations and the expenses for which each party is responsible. Gross lease A gross lease is a legally binding contract in which a landlord receives stipulated rent from a tenant and is required to pay all or most expenses. Property expenses can include property taxes, insurance and maintenance. A benefit of this lease type is that it allows tenants to easily forecast expenses without concern of unexpected charges. However, the gross lease may be higher to protect the landlord from…

Rental Concessions Gone Wild! Data Indicates City Living Loses Some Appeal   November 24, 2020–A combination of surging Coronavirus cases, new lockdowns, expiring government stimulus, and colder weather has set off a Rental Concessions bonanza in U.S. markets, as property managers, owners, agents, and tenants struggle to navigate continued volatility when securing housing plans before year's end. While we have seen Rental Concessions gain momentum as the pandemic continues, the velocity, size, and scope of some of Rental Concessions being offered in some markets have set off desperation alarm bells. Additionally, Rental Inquiries in most cities featured in this report show continued year-over-year (YOY) declines, as renters seek out alternatives away from urban centers, including rentals with more space, to combat the prolonged impact of the pandemic. Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, and Miami continued their months' long trend of lower YOY Rental Inquiry rates, while Chicago and Philadelphia remain volatile but managed to report higher numbers. In our seventh edition of the Rental Beast Market Report, we are pleased to include data and insights on the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, the fourth-largest urban center in the United States.   RENTAL CONCESSIONS Rental Concessions are compromises landlords make to original rent terms…

Yet another MIPIM is over. Thank you for the interesting discussions about real estate and proptech's new twists and turns – and of course huge thanks for the organisers for making it all happen! You might have heard my thoughts and comments from the casting videos I made at MIPIM – but to wrap it all up, here's my small recap of what went down in Cannes this year. Probably many participants noticed during the first days that technology has noticeably matured: more day-to-day activities take place and substantial companies like Schneider and Siemens are entering the industry. MIPIM Innovation Forum proved that real estate is now more or less about energy savings, smart buildings and IoT. Even though they were emphasized at the event, I still think they're not really on top of the game for the time being. I think everyone has heard about this and is probably talking about it – blockchain. The subject we all know, was of course highly discussed at MIPIM. There's no doubt that it will have a major impact on the development of real estate and property technology industries. One thing that really surprised me at MIPIM PropTech startup competition was the fact that…

For commercial real estate owners, one pinnacle of success is having a building that is fully leased. However, just because every room is occupied does not mean building owners are generating the maximum amount of revenue that they can. While there may be no vacancies inside, there's still a place that can be an income producer-the building's rooftop. Continiue reading here.

Today, you find more and more commercial building managers and facilities professionals are challenged with managing assets. Critical assets breaking down mid-use, poor equipment performance and inefficient building systems are some challenges that have beguiled many commercial facilities. Every asset needs proper management and maintenance for it to continue to function according to its intended design.   It is on this premise that asset management represents a critical tool that every property owner or manager can use to cut costs, save money, improve productivity, and elevate the overall performance of the facility. Keeping tabs on important assets in a commercial property, including in-service appliances, replacement parts, and systems is key to achieving continuous and predictable profit. So that brings us to a question: What is asset management? Conventional thought would want you to believe that Asset Management is limited to the financial or manufacturing industry. That is not entirely true in recent times, however. Critical asset management as it relates to real estate can be described as a systematic process whereby very important assets are identified, cataloged, monitored, maintained, operated, upgraded, and replaced cost-effectively. These processes can include establishing maintenance programs for HVAC and lighting, scheduling utilities, handling sensitive information,…

A look at how CRE tech has impacted our knowledge, skills and market. Ever wonder who would win the game if the best sports team today played the best team of 20 years ago? I mean with all the innovation in fitness, training, nutrition, and equipment certainly our athletes today would dominate their predecessors, right? Was it just Hollywood romanticism that enabled Rocky to defeat Ivan Drago or Will Smith to defeat the aliens?   Let's apply that same logic to our own industry and look at the technology-driven progress we've made in the commercial real estate business over the last 20 years. There's no better way to measure our progress than compare it the past. Of course, it's really more about examining our progress than comparing one generation to another. Twenty years ago the CRE business looked a lot different than today. Most of the changes have been driven by technology, some noticeable, some not as much. Let's take a trip back in time to frame the CRE world as it was then. Back in Time The year is 1996, Bill Clinton gets reelected, Motorola releases the StarTAC flip-phone, Netscape is the dominant browser, Braveheart gets Best Picture, the…

At the risk of stating the obvious, WeWork is a big deal. WeWork is a big deal not only in the world of commercial real estate but it joins an elite new group of Silicon Valley unicorns filing for an IPO while making massive losses. One would think that a lack of profitability would prevent a company from going public but these unicorns are called disrupters for a reason. Many have already documented why WeWork is disruptive to CRE, how they've capitalized on the changing nature of work, tastes of millennials, and disinter-mediated long-standing relationships within CRE. In this blog, we'll discuss what attributes of WeWork's model can be adopted by traditional CRE owner/operators and how to adopt this disruptive mindset to truly transform organizational culture. Xerox Parc may have invented the mouse but Steve Jobs gave it commercial success. I mention this to remind everyone to embrace the copycat within and take a page from the competition's playbook. Four things to learn from WeWork's Strategy and two pitfalls to avoid… Branding matters WeWork has mastered the art of branding, it's there even when the big logo is not present. They have managed to embed their brand in the very experience of being…

Recently, we hosted our first expert webinar of 2019 with Mulvey & Banani, a Toronto-based engineering consulting firm leading the way for Building and Office Intelligence solution design. Watch the full webinar here to learn about the fundamentals of Building and Office Intelligence from Mike Prsa, Principal and Vice President of Mulvey & Banani and Franco Castladini, Chief Commercial Officer here at ThoughtWire.   Below is a transcription of Mike and Franco's fireside chat style conversation, where they separate hype from reality, talk about the importance of infrastructure design and why a common data layer will help future proof your asset. Q: The market for technology in CRE is crowded. How do you help customers get started with selecting the right technology? What should those early on in their journey prioritize? Mike: Most importantly it's not about technology first. It's really about sitting down and finding out the individual organization's requirements or the functionality they need or uncovering why they've gone down the path of building and office intelligence. In those early stakeholder meetings it's really our role as the expert to deduce the use cases, requirements and eventually the technology that fits the solution design. Franco: So you're advising your clients to look at the outcomes they…

Spacelist's COVID-19 Survey Results Spacelist conducted a survey last week with hundreds of businesses that have leased space across Canada, including office (48%), industrial (20%), and retail (32%) properties. Before we go any further, we wanted to thank everyone that participated and share the charities selected by three randomly chosen survey participants, each of which we'll be donating $100 – Feed the Need In Durham, JumpStart, and Wounder Warrios Canada. The survey focused on understanding the implications of COVID-19 on businesses leasing commercial space in the current situation, how they are responding today, implications for what actions they may take going forward, and also a pulse-check on when they feel we may start to get back to some new modified version of "normal." Stay-at-home and work-from-home have become new battle cries in our collective fight against COVID-19. In reality, though, how realistic of an expectation is this for commercial tenants? Based on survey responses, the majority of Retail (75%) and Industrial (62%) tenants are not able to work from home. Office tenants fare better, with work done from home possible for 68% of respondents. With regard to staffing and operations, the picture is similarly bleak across all segments. While almost half of office tenants are…

By Kelsi Maree Borland | GlobeSt.com Property management firms are proving to have an important impact on driving value and the success of an asset. One example of the growing importance of property managers is Catalina Landing. Colony Northstar purchased the struggling 280,00-square-foot office property in August 2015, and hired Rising Realty Partners to develop and execute a strategy to turn the property around. Leveraging the firm's third-party property management Asset Enhancement Program and 5×5 Telecom, Rising was able to increase rents by 20%-the highest rates in Downtown Long Beach-renewed or expanded leases with 19 tenants and signed substantial new leases with Sprint, the California State University Chancellor's Office, and Barrett Business Systems.
