The document summarizes commercial real estate market trends from 1950-2015. It discusses the post-WWII shift from central business district (CBD) office space to suburban office space due to demographic and economic factors. Starting in the late 1990s and 2000s, CBD office demand increased as crime rates fell and millennials entered the workforce. While CBDs have generally outperformed suburbs, some technology and energy markets saw stronger suburban growth after 2008. Across property types, vacancy rates declined and prices rose from 2014-2015, though retail prices remain below 2007 levels. The industrial, apartment, and office sectors are expected to see declining vacancies and rent growth amid new supply.
Despite rising multifamily construction starts, the current stock of rental units is struggling to meet demand in some areas. This problem is particularly acute for affordable and workforce housing. High construction costs driven by rising land and material prices are inhibiting new supply, especially of more affordable units. Most new multifamily projects consist of high-end apartments, exacerbating the shortage of affordable rentals. To make projects profitable given high costs, developers have focused on acquiring premium sites and pricing new units at the higher end of the market. This concentration of high-cost units in large cities further squeezes the supply of affordable housing.

Washington D.C. is expected to continue expanding through 2040 due to projected job and population growth. An estimated 230,000 new jobs will be added, requiring 81 million square feet of new office/retail space and 119 million square feet of new residential space. Specifically, 105,240 new residential units will be needed by 2032, over 60% being multi-family units. Continued growth in property taxes could generate hundreds of millions for investments in education, infrastructure, and affordable housing.
Tech companies continue to drive growth in Austin's tight office market. Net absorption was 528,811 SF in Q2 2019 despite increasing vacancy. Rents rose to $35.74/SF citywide with several submarkets exceeding $50/SF. New supply is under construction but largely pre-leased, indicating demand will remain strong through 2020 barring economic slowdowns.
The Houston office market continued to contract in Q4 2020 with negative absorption of 836,140 square feet. Vacancy rates increased to 21.7% as the COVID pandemic continued to impact the market. Rental rates remained steady while landlord concessions became more aggressive. The outlook remains uncertain depending on vaccine distribution and return to office trends.

This document summarizes Hernan Galperin's presentation on evidence and new research directions on the relationship between broadband and development in Latin America. It discusses 6 studies conducted across several Latin American countries analyzing the impact of increased broadband availability and adoption on economic growth, employment, and education outcomes at both aggregate and individual levels. The studies employ various quasi-experimental methods and large sample sizes to help establish causal relationships and account for external factors. Overall, the findings suggest that greater broadband deployment and adoption are associated with increased economic activity, firm growth, labor income, and in some cases, improved school performance.
- Office employment growth in New York City has slowed to 0.6% annually through August 2018 compared to 1.9% the previous year. Employment growth in the finance and information sectors has declined.

The document provides an analysis of the Metro Chicago medical office building (MOB) market for the second quarter of 2016. It finds that while job growth and demand for healthcare services remains strong, the MOB market is showing signs of slowing absorption due to a large single vacancy. Specifically, vacancy rose to 13.7% due to the vacancy of a 153,000 square foot building, while average asking rents continued to increase. The outlook remains positive, with expectations that vacancy will decline over the long term as demand and MOB job growth remain strong, fueling need for additional space.
With the economy growing at its fastest pace in the current cycle, employers across industries are adding jobs, especially in urban and dense markets where talent is migrating.

The Chicago office market saw modest employment growth of 1.2% in Q2 2006, adding 44,600 jobs. While several sectors grew, manufacturing continued declining with a 1.7% drop. The local economy benefits from a $15 billion expansion at O'Hare Airport expected to generate 90,000 to 195,000 jobs. Population growth of 0.6% annually brings modest demand.

Numerous companies are relocating their headquarters to downtown Chicago from the suburbs. From 2010 to 2015, approximately 2.5 million square feet of office space was absorbed in the Chicago central business district (CBD) as 43 companies relocated from the suburbs. The West Loop gained nearly half of the space taken by companies moving from the suburbs, while River North absorbed over 30% of the space. Relocating to the CBD is typically associated with desires for employee attraction and retention, prestige office space, and access to talent, while staying in the suburbs focuses on lower costs, existing labor pools, and specific space needs. The decision to move downtown or remain in the suburbs depends on each company's unique needs and priorities.

The average discount between direct and sublease asking rent prices has increased, suggesting it is currently a tenant's market with opportunities for tenants to negotiate favorable lease terms.
