NINE YEARS & STILL GOING STRONG U.S. Economic & Commercial Real Estate Outlook July 2018

Key Takeaways U.S. economy re-accelerating at halfway point in 2018 and most expect the expansion to continue through 2019. Given correlation between the economy and the property markets, values will continue to climb in most markets/product types as the expansion continues. Outside of retail, U.S. CRE leasing fundamentals remain solid but vacancy will inflect in 2018, mainly supply driven.

Key Takeaways CRE spreads still attractive vs. alternatives; U.S. cap rates still attractive versus global cities, which will keep capital flowing into the U.S. Inflation rearing its head in spots, driving interest rates higher, increasing volatility and causing a repricing of certain assets. Labor markets nearing full employment as the cycle matures. Job growth still healthy decelerating in spots. Expansion still has legs, but keep your eye on the yield curve.

However, half of the survey panelists expect the next economic slowdown to occur sometime between Q4 2019 and Q2 2020 (equally important half do not). The consensus also expects the Fed to continue to normalize monetary policy with three to four rate hikes in 2018 and 2019.

Although investing at later stages of the cycle is more difficult, it is worth remembering that expansions do not die of old age. With confidence high, and stimulus effects still coming, it would take a lot to derail the U.S. expansion. 1949-53 1945-48 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Odds remain high that we are in midst of the longest U.S. expansion on record.

What s the Impact of Rising Rates on CRE Values? It s Nuanced The temptation is to assume that if interest rates rise then commercial real estate values must fall because of the trusted equation. Values = NOI/Cap Rate The reality is that it creates a mix of headwinds and tailwinds for property values. The primary headwind is that it increases the cost of capital while the primary tailwind is that it boosts operating revenue. History tells us, more often than not, the positives to NOI growth more than offset the negatives from higher interest rates. Core assets with long-term leases in place have less upside and are more highly correlated to interest rate movements and are therefore more exposed. A rising Libor will also create pressure on certain assets. Value-add assets typically benefit the most as higher interest rates signal better lease-up. Future rent growth is the key. Investors should look to overweight portfolios in markets where demand story will prevail.

Stronger Growth = Higher CRE Values 5 4 20 15 CRE values, in the aggregate, are more highly correlated with GDP growth than they are interest rate movements. 3 2 1 10 5 0 Over the last 15 years the U.S. economy has experienced a wide array of interest rate environments.

The yield curve has flattened out in recent weeks but still remains reasonably close to its historical average. An inverted yield curve does not guarantee a recession; however, there has only been one false positive, making it the single most reliable leading indicator.

Tariff Timeline January 23, 2017 May 18, 2017 President Trump withdraws the U.S. from Trans-Pacific Partnership. Trump administration seeks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement; negotiations ongoing. January 22, 2018 March/April 2018 Trump administration approves tariffs on imported steel and aluminum; Canada and Mexico exempted. China imposes tariffs of 15-25% on 128 products that account for US $3b, including pork, cherries, and scrap metal. Trump proposed introducing tariffs of up to 25% on 1,300 Chinese goods, primarily high-tech; representing $50 billion in goods. China s Ministry of Commerce announced plans to target $50b in U.S. goods per year. China plans to put a 25% tariff on imported U.S. soybeans, cars, aircraft. Trump hints at $150 billion of new tariffs on Chinese goods. President Trump approves tariffs on imported washing machines & solar panels. Today Negotiating but still with rather large differences.

At 5.0%, the U.S. overall vacancy rate is a full 330 basis points below the 10-year historical average of 8.4% for all industrial types. Space options are particularly tight in the 100,000-to-250,000- square-foot size segment where new supply has lagged, and leasing demand has recently spiked. The amount of available logistics space and its functionality will remain a key storyline in 2018: 61.2% of vacant logistics space is more than 20 years old.
