We all know sector rotations are common in real estate markets. Regardless of Seattle commercial real estate cycles a “good deal is a good deal”. Revenue growth is what every investor looks for in commercial real estate. Incremental yearly growth of 2-3% is national average and normal in most Seattle lease agreements. An investor should expect 2-3% increases in expenses depending on quality of management and building construction.
A good deal is a good deal in any market.
Now lets look at the industrial sub-sector where Seattle yearly revenue growth has peaked 9% in 2016. Top graph below displays Seattle overall industrial growth and the chart below displays N. Seattle retail growth in price per square foot.

NOTICE SIMILARITY BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL & RETAIL GROWTH/SALES

INDUSTRIAL PEAKED IN 2016 and RETAIL PEAKED IN 2017
Rare opportunity to observe growth between retail and industrial sub-markets. Interesting to note industrial in Seattle peaked one year earlier than retail. Analytics is not the only approach to finding a good deal, but it certainly helps to know the numbers.
