Following decades of sustained growth, growth which<br />
consistently defied business cycle downturns and<br />
recessions alike, current indicators confirm the Las Cruces<br />
economy remains influenced by the unprecedented<br />
confluence of external factors associated with the global<br />
financial crisis some two years after its official end.<br />
While relatively mild, in both depth and duration, such<br />
uncharacteristic weakness remains cause for caution in<br />
each and every local commercial, investment real estate<br />
sector.<br />
Mirroring national economic downturn and trends, the broad<br />
Las Cruces office market has seen deteriorating fundamentals.<br />
Layoffs in heavy office using employment sectors resulted in<br />
diminished demand yielding a 330 basis point increase in<br />
vacancies and 4% decline in market average rental rates<br />
on a year-over-year basis. Looking at longer trends, vacancy<br />
rates have risen 9.6% from their low in 2008 with lease<br />
rates falling 1% below their 2007 to 2011 period average.<br />
Amid news of declining net worth and consumer sentiment,<br />
it has been said "Flat is the new Up.” In this light, it can be<br />
said things are looking up for the Las Cruces retail market.<br />
With vacancy rates down and gross receipts from retail trade<br />
posting moderate increases, owners and their agents should<br />
enjoy certain latitude for lease rate increases to prerecession<br />
levels going forward. Numerous major retail players<br />
whose strategy has been to delay entry and/or expansion<br />
into the market have indicated they'll be moving dirt and<br />
opening doors here in 2011 and <strong>2012</strong>. If we can rely upon<br />
the veracity and sophistication of their market analytics, this<br />
too provides further evidence that operating fundamentals<br />
in this consumer/consumption driven sector are headed in<br />
the right direction.<br />
Within a perfect storm of scant new supply and heightened<br />
demand from increasing household formation, the Las<br />
Cruces multifamily market continues to register positive<br />
operating results. A 3.1% year-over-year increase in rents<br />
coupled with a 97.2% market average occupancy rate, a<br />
310 basis point improvement over the already admirable<br />
2001 to 2011 period average of 94.1%, make this the best<br />
performing Las Cruces commercial real estate sector.<br />

The Capital Region continues to be a smart bet for tech type<br />
research companies, due to the construction of the $2 billion<br />
chip fabrication plant being built in Malta, NY. Slated to<br />
employ 1,400 tech-related workers, the more attractive<br />
positive will be the 5,000+ support jobs coming into the<br />
area. Real estate in and around the park is beginning to<br />
benefit from the increased demand for close, convenient<br />
space to house these support services.<br />
The CBD office market continues to struggle with a glut of<br />
Class B or lower inventory approaching 30% in some recent<br />
polls. Functionally obsolete buildings with floor plates that<br />
require substantial capital to renovate, litter the downtown<br />
marketplace, leaving only the Class A spaces to vie for the<br />
few office tenants that need to be situated within a stone’s<br />
throw of the government process. Residential re-development<br />
is being called for to breathe new life into some of these<br />
buildings, but lack of ability to secure acquisition and<br />
construction cost loans have sidelined this initiative.<br />
Continuing the trend, the suburban office parks are performing<br />
well and continuing to experience lower vacancy rates<br />
between 10% to 12% overall. Large office tenants have<br />
made out well with several options available including<br />
attractive rates for build to suits.<br />
The industrial marketplace has been the leading segment<br />
in our marketplace, with brisk activity and stable rates.<br />
Vacancy rates are in the 8% to 12% range overall in spaces<br />
of 25,000 to 50,000 SF and slightly better numbers for new<br />
construction and flex spaces that offer a quality office<br />
component. Retail activity has picked up again. Shop Rite<br />
Grocery Store chain has decided to build three new stores<br />
within the region with facilities ranging from 40,000 to<br />
55,000 SF.<br />
Investment and multifamily offerings have also picked up<br />
their volume as the uncertainty in the stock market has<br />
driven investors to seek more stable, predictable returns.<br />
Cap rates are down slightly to an average of 7% overall. As<br />
a strong tertiary marketplace, the Capital Region has<br />
remained a stable and safe environment to live, work and<br />
invest in.<br />
