NET ABSORPTION & SUPPLY

TRENDS• A handful of large move-outs in Greater Boston’s warehouse market pushed net

absorption into the red for the first time in over a year. Big-Hearted Books, Serta, EMS Warehousing and CGI Technologies all vacated space during the second quarter. That being said, vacancies only inched up by 10 basis points over the quarter, and rates remain well below historical averages. Strong leasing and persistent demand across multiple industrial sectors, including e-commerce, bodes well for warehouse market fundamentals in the near term.

• Robust demand for prime warehouse space has led to more build-to-suit construction in the marketplace. National Development and Charles River Realty are planning a fully-refrigerated wholesale center at 130 Eastern Avenue in Chelsea for Baldor Boston, LLC. Work continues on Spears Manufacturing’s new 112,500-square-foot distribution center adjacent to Norton Commerce Center. Americold Logistics’ 173,000-square-foot refrigerated facility in Middleborough, which will support Ocean Spray production and operations, is slated to deliver later this year as well.

• Some developers have opted for speculative construction. The Gutierrez Company recently broke ground on a 220,106-square-foot facility at the Crossroads Industrial Park in Northborough. Campanelli continues to move forward on the 127,500-square-foot 353 Maple Street and the 300,000-square-foot 351 Maple Street, both in Bellingham. All three projects are slated to deliver by the end of this year. While the construction pipeline has expanded, developers will likely struggle to keep pace with tenants’ robust demand for modern, state-of-the-art warehouse product.

• Investors remain active in the Greater Boston warehouse market. In a sale-lease back, The Seyon Group acquired the 350,469-square-foot 560 West Street in Mansfield from owner-user Medline Industries for $38.5 million or $110/SF. The tenant is rumored to be planning a new 800,000-square-foot facility in Uxbridge, and plans to lease their current location for a number of years. Infill warehouse product has been a highly desirable asset class, too. Calare Properties purchased the 31,950-square-foot 777 N Shore Road in Revere for $12.4 million or $388/SF at a 6.7% cap rate. Developers also remain attracted to older product facing functional obsolescence. Exeter Property Group divested 26 Cook Street in Billerica to Premier Storage Investors, who plans to redevelop the property into a self-storage facility.

• The nation’s tight labor market remains a headwind for warehousing and distribution. Given the meteoric rise in e-commerce and online shopping, the trucking industry in particular is facing a shortage of workers. One estimate puts national job openings in this industry at 63,000 this year, and the number is expected to increase moving forward. As a result, trucking wages are also rising swiftly. Year-over-year growth was roughly 4% of as May, which is nearly double overall national wage growth. While Boston is not a major national distribution hub like Atlanta or Chicago, these national trends are sure to have a local impact.

NET ABSORPTION AND ASKING RENT

TRENDS• Greater Boston’s Flex/R&D market continues to benefit from the growing tech,

biotech, and light manufacturing industries. Vacancies ended the second quarter at 9.4% as the market absorbed more than 100,000 square feet. Repligen took occupancy of close to 65,000 square feet at 111 Locke Drive in Marlborough, and ETM Manufacturing moved into 23,200 square feet at 24 Porter Road in Littleton after purchasing the building. Persistent demand from technology-related companies is expected to drive growth in the local Flex/R&D market in the coming quarters.

• The Route 128 Loop boasts some of the strongest Flex/R&D fundamentals in the region. Vacancies ended the second quarter of 2018 at just 5.8%; this is about half the rate in the Route 495 Loop and well below the rate in the Urban Core. Asking rents are well above the metrowide average, at $14.55/SF. However, space in close proximity to Boston maintains a $6-11/SF premium over space located in Route 128 South and Route 128 North. Users like Novanta (147,370 SF) and Alkermes (5,535 SF) are the types of firms leasing Flex/R&D space in the Route 128 markets.

• Analog Devices announced plans to consolidate its facilities across Massachusetts and relocate its headquarters from Norwood to Wilmington, where the company already maintains a large footprint. As part of a nearly $160 million project, the firm is planning to renovate its existing facilities (500,000 square feet of office, Flex/R&D and manufacturing space) as well as construct an additional 175,000-square-foot Flex/R&D building. The project also includes 50,000 square feet of community space (i.e., a fitness center and café). The company will keep a small presence in Norwood and Chelmsford as well as its recently opened startup incubator in downtown Boston. Work on Analog Devices’ expansion is expected to finish between 2019 and 2020.

• Infill locations are in high demand from both Flex/R&D users and investors. In Boston’s Seaport, 908 Devices is expanding their production operations and moving its headquarters to the Pappas Commerce Center in the third quarter. The manufacturer has leased 37,500 square feet at 645 Summer Street leaving 18,000 square feet behind at the Innovation & Design Building. Rafi Properties recently acquired the Ames Business Park, anchored by Greentown Labs, in Somerville during the second quarter. The site includes a mix of office, flex/R&D and industrial buildings.

• With vacancies declining by 580 basis points over the last 5 years, it’s not surprising Flex/R&D lease rates are surging in Greater Boston. Space runs from $7-$10/SF in the Route 495 Loop to the high-teens to low-twenties in the Route 128 West/Northwest and Urban Core submarkets. Overall asking rents rose to $11.39/SF in the second quarter; increasing by 7.6% over the last 12 months. Infill locations, close to population centers, have seen the steepest inclines in recent years. From 2014-18, Flex/R&D asking rents expanded by 68% in the Urban Core, 40% in Route 128 Northwest, and 34% in Route 128 West. As fundamentals remain strong, look for more rent gains in the near future.

INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS MANUFACTURING

2018

TRENDS• Vacancies in Greater Boston’s manufacturing market ended the second quarter at

6.9% as the market absorbed close to 50,000 square feet. Rates continue their general downward trend, and market conditions remain favorable for all industrial product types. Leasing velocity has been steady, with CI Works, Replimune and New England Spas executing large deals most recently. Asking rents in the manufacturing market remain elevated above $9/SF for the third consecutive quarter, and are sitting 6.5% above year-ago levels.

• Some large blocks of manufacturing space could hit the market in the near future. Ireland-based Ardagh Group announced plans to close its Milford beer bottling plant and lay off more than 200 workers. Round Hill Investments recently acquired New England Confectionary Company (maker of NECCO wafers) for $17.33 million in a bankruptcy auction. The candy maker already downsized operations at its 829,000-square-foot Revere facility by nearly 150,000 square feet in the third quarter of last year. The new owners are looking to revive the brand, but operations are only slated to continue through the fall.

• Coworking and incubating trends have made their way into Greater Boston’s manufacturing industry. CI Works, a manufacturing business incubator based in Amesbury, is opening an additional location at IndusPAD (the former Polartec plant) in Lawrence. The 90,000 square-foot secondary location will allow CI Works to house up to 60 additional companies. Given the growth in hi-tech and other manufacturing operations, the need for this type of collaborative space could expand in the future.

• The region’s bustling life science industry continues to drive manufacturing activity in Greater Boston. Sanofi Genzyme is expanding its Framingham footprint, with plans to build a new 72,000-square-foot bio-manufacturing facility. In the first quarter, King Street Properties purchased the former headquarters of the MetroWest Daily News on New York Avenue in Framingham, with plans to renovate the property into a 107,350-square-foot multi-tenant life science facility. Replimune recently leased 63,000 square feet of manufacturing and translational science lab space in this building. Finally, Waters Corp., a scientific equipment maker, plans to add 135,000 square feet to its Taunton facility, which will be operational by 2022.

• A handful of transactions took place in the second quarter. Casey & Hayes acquired the 107,869-square-foot 40 Murphy Drive in Avon for $7.4 million or $69/SF, while Invesco Advisors picked up a handful of older industrial/manufacturing assets in Cambridge from the Davis Companies. The Quad, which includes 75 Moulton Street, 10 Wilson Avenue, 40 Smith Place and 75 Smith Pace, is being marketed as transitioning life science campus. Given that the new owner is targeting biotech companies, the portfolio traded for $73 million or $364/SF.

TRENDS• Industrial is the new darling of commercial real estate investors both locally and nationally.

Record-low vacancies and skyrocketing rents have led to unprecedented levels of activity in Boston’s industrial market in recent years. While sales volume in other asset types has been waning recently, industrial transactions have held steady. More than $900 million in industrial assets changed hands during the first half of 2018, which is on a par with peak-2016 levels as well as last year’s levels. Pricing continues to climb as well, with the median price per square foot reaching $95 in the second quarter. This represents a 5.8% increase from year-ago levels and a 44% increase over the last five years.

• Several industrial portfolios traded during the second quarter, with private buyers accounting for 58% of total transaction volume. Jumbo Capital Management purchased the 8-building Xchange at Bedford, anchored by iRobot, for $107.8 million or $223/SF. Rafi Properties acquired the Ames Business Park in Somerville, which included five properties and a small parcel of land, for $88 million or $344/SF. SIP Trust sold a five-property portfolio on Stergis Way in Dedham to the Nordblom Company for $12.6 million or $133/SF.

• Flex/R&D properties accounted for more than 60% of the total industrial sales volume in the second quarter. The transactions were evenly dispersed throughout the region, with the sale of the Xchange at Bedford and the Ames Business Park accounting for a large share of this activity. Pricing remains frothy for Flex/R&D properties in Greater Boston, with the median cap rates declining to 6.9% in the first half of 2018. Comparatively, median cap rates for this asset class were close to 10% nearly a decade ago.
