NATIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT OVERVIEW

National unemployment rates reached a 28 year high at 10.4% with roughly 11 million unemployed workers that are now drawing unemployment insurance

benefits. In February alone, 27 states recorded unemployment rate increases. The highest regional jobless rates were in the Western part of the country, while the Northeast recorded the lowest rates. Michigan again recorded the highest unemployment rate among the states at 14.1% in February. The states with the next highest rates were Nevada, 13.2%; Rhode Island, 12.7%; California and South Carolina, 12.5% each; and Florida, 12.2%. The Las Vegas economy continues to be impacted by downturns and a high employment rate, currently 13.9%, in all major sectors, including gaming, construction, financial and real estate. The recession will most likely be a “jobless recovery.” Since World War II there have been a total of 11 recessions and in the most recent recessions before the 2007 recession, job growth lagged long after the recession. In fact it took several years for the unemployment rate to return back to prerecession levels. Employment growth is critical to future economic growth and the return to a healthy commercial market which may take several years to accomplish.

LAS VEGAS MARKET OVERVIEW

As we start the New Year, the big question on everyone’s minds is what is going to happen next and will the signs of recovery start to show and what will it look like for the Las Vegas market. Experts around

the nation believe that recovery will start to show by early 2011 and in some areas may have already hit rock bottom. UNLV Economics Department Chairman Dr. Stephen Miller says “Improvements in taxable sales, gaming revenue and McCarran Airport passenger counts are good indicators of an improving economy (for the Las Vegas market).” Miller goes on to state that “a lot of things are happening locally that are suggestions that the economy is trying to reach bottom and turn around.” While Southern Nevada’s local economy may be starting to see the bottom of the commercial recession period, some experts are still analyzing declining property values, maturing commercial loans, ownership vs. leasing, the benefit of receiverships and the local business activity.

According to Kenneth P. Riggs, President and CEO of RERC, “The past decade has served up some tough lessons about acting on our gut instincts and about what makes sense and what simply does not fit with sustainable practices. But for investors seeking to seize market opportunities, 2010 is time to gear up for a possible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snag key long-term investments in commercial real estate.” In 2010, with leasing activity lagging, we are seeing more landlords willing to hang “For Lease” and “For Sale” signs on their buildings. John Kulper, President of Commercial Alliance of Realtors, wrote, “While lenders generally are avoiding investment real estate, owner-occupied commercial real estate is beginning to look attractive again.” Real Capital Analytics also agrees stating that “owner-occupied purchase now represent almost 10% of global transactions and will be involved in a greater share of property deals.” In a recent study, most commercial brokerage firm’s executives believe that “real estate prices now make it more financially advantageous to buy rather than lease.” In the Las Vegas market, commercial property values and asking rates continued to fall this quarter which may help with the decision to either buy or lease.

The Federal Government is also monitoring the weakness of the commercial real estate market. The Feds believe that the weakness of commercial loans is a very serious problem because the whole economy

LAS VEGAS INDUSTRIAL MARKET

The Las Vegas industrial market posted additional upward movement in vacancy rising to 15.01% during 1st quarter 2010. The Central submarket continues to show the lowest vacancy rate at 8.55% along with Speedway at 11.09% and the Southwest submarket at 13.81%. The highest vacancy submarkets are the Northwest at 26.57%, Airport at 21.25% and West submarket at 15.84%. Vacancy rates for all product types in the industrial market have increased during the 1st quarter with Distribution increasing to 15.00% from 14.14%, Flex increasing to 23.29% from 21.64%, Freestanding increasing to 9.62% from 8.36%, Incubator increasing to 16.34% from 16.30%, and Midbay increasing to 19.38% from 18.01%. The high vacancy rates are a result of newer buildings that have come on line with little or no pre-leasing activity, combined with lease concessions, defaults and downsizing which is causing vacancy to rise. Sublease space in 1st quarter showed current availability at 1,589,497 sf (1.57% of the total market). Net absorption for the 1st quarter showed in the negatives again at -1,038,635 SF. The Speedway submarket showed the greatest amount of positive absorption with over 79,282 sf for 1st quarter while the North Las Vegas submarket posted the least amount with -424,311 sf of negative absorption.

could be hit, much like the housing bust has caused. Troubled commercial real estate loans could be the primary force behind bank failures this year. Elizabeth Warren, chair of the TARP Congressional Oversight panel stated “Around half of all commercial mortgages will be underwater by the end of 2010, posing a very serious problem for the economy over the next three years.”

NEW SUPPLY (COMPLETIONS) AND MARKET DEMANDS

Developers have halted many projects resulting in no new construction completions during 1st quarter. Going forward, only 967,973 sf of under construction product is still in the pipeline. With the continued hesitation of developers to build product, due to scarce construction financing and weak rents, we also don’t expect much of the planned product to come online any time soon. Future new supply levels will continue to shrink as market corrections are underway. It may take another five years for the housing market to become stable, credit to start flowing and employment to become active again before any rise in construction numbers. For a smart recovery, the industrial market needs to solve the imbalance of supply and demand by allowing existing vacant space to be absorbed and wait out this business cycle before any major growth should happen.

PRICING (AVERAGE ASKING RENTS)

Pricing within the industrial sector continues to drop as landlords work with tenants and offer better tenant improvement allowances, greater concessions and even negotiate new lease terms. Short term leases seem to be a trend in the market where tenants have a controlling position. The effect of extended lease

up periods, slow economic conditions and growing commercial defaults will contribute to increased repossession activity by lenders that will result in further price adjustments.

The market wide industrial average asking rental rate has dropped to $0.60 PSF, the lowest rate we have seen since 1st quarter 2006 when it was at $0.50 PSF. By product type, average Distribution lease rates were $0.50 PSF at the end of 1st quarter. Freestanding units reported rents of $0.64 PSF, while Flex space averaged $0.68 PSF. Pricing for Midbay and Incubator space came in at $0.54 and $0.72 PSF, respectively.

OUTLOOK

In the coming months we expect commercial real estate prices to decline further and we won’t see any true recovery until the end of the year to early next year. The market will continue to be impacted by cautious consumer and companies activity, causing vacancies to remain elevated and most likely continue to increase. Rents will also continue to be impacted by the current economy and will continue to fall. According to a report produced by UNLV’s CBER “Southern Nevada business will continue to struggle with the after effects of the deepest recession in the

US since the Great Depression. To date, Southern Nevada has not enjoyed the same level of increase in business activity as the rest of the US.” The local economy will not pick up until we see robust growth in hiring. According to the survey with only 10 % of business anticipated to hire more workers, the recovery will be very slow for the Las Vegas area. We are optimistic going into 2010 that the bottom is near and compared to last year, vacancy is not rising and lease rates are not falling as fast or as far as we were witnessing.

Some early signs of stabilization may come from the growth of energy and clean technology companies and the growing strength of data centers. According to a recent survey conducted by Campos Research, 83% of senior decision markers at large corporations in North America “are planning data center expansions in the next 12 to 24 months.” The report goes on to state that, “most of the existing data centers are not able to handle the new advanced power and cooling capabilities that the data center equipment warrants.” The Digital Realty Trust’s survey agrees that data centers are growing due to the “need for additional power..70% of planned data centers are 15,000 sf or larger and at least 2 megawatts or greater of power.” In fact the survey states that “the cost and availability of power is more important than the square feet leased or owned.” Many states around the nation are looking at how to move data center locations to their market and Las Vegas could be a great market to see these types of industrial expansions due to our low energy rates compared to most of the western states.
