The deterioration of available financing is continuing to wreck havoc on the investment sales market in the fourth quarter of 2008, reports New York-based research firm Reis. Sales volumes fell by double digits compared with the fourth quarter of 2007 in office, retail, industrial, and commercial sectors, all while cap rates continued to rise.

This deterioration spells bad news for commercial property owners because it will limit their ability to sell assets to avoid defaults on near-term notes.

The research firm estimates there are more than $270 billion in commercial real estate loans coming due in 2009, but securing refinancing remains difficult. In the first quarter of 2009, close to 80% of senior loan officers surveyed by the Federal Reserve reported tightening standards for commercial mortgages.

Normally, asset sales can serve as an alternate route for owners unable to refinance. But with the investment sales market at a standstill, projections of the commercial real estate default rate will rise to 4.2% in 2009 and could hit 4.8% by 2012.

So far, the office sector seems to have suffered the most, with a huge drop in the number of sales transactions in the fourth quarter, and a decline in dollar transactions, when will it ever hit bottom?

Despite the economic difficulties our world currently faces, improving the economy should focus its energy on small businesses. At Sand Creek Plaza our tenants objectives are at the forefront of everything we do, resulting in a rewarding long term relationship. We understand that our tenant’s real estate needs are ongoing and evolving especially in todays real estate market.

A surge in office space is sweeping the San Francisco bay area. With new buildings continuing to spring up all over, they remain to stay empty. Filling these new offices leave without leaving huge vacancies in existing buildings stands to be a challenge. The question on the minds of many is whether tenant demand will be sufficient in the face of a sluggish economy.

What do you think the current tenant demand is for bay area office space? Presently, the market seems to be quiet in comparison to last year, which may be due to tenants renewing leases early or the lack of quality alternatives in the marketplace. We have noticed some larger tenants negotiating in the future market looking for a sweet deal, but for the most part its very quiet.

Looking at the existing office space market between now and 2010, new buildings are not being built as fast. While the total square feet of office space is not growing, the availability of existing office space is. Given the state of the economy, businesses are hesitant about expanding operations. While some businesses are still growing, expansion is almost at a standstill.

With the prediction of more layoffs a significant amount of space will be put on the market. Most of these spaces will be for sublease due to existing leases or contracts. As real estate professionals we realize that subleasing is sometimes a necessity in this economy. We are here to work with our tenants during hard times like this, we understand the subprime market issues and corporate downsizing. Our company is proud to offer services that others do not. With our many years of experience we are here to last through this grueling economy.

Our metropolitan areas face unprecedented changes.  With resources becoming scarce, climate change, traffic congestion, changing lifestyles, and unstable home prices, a reorganization of our cities using smart growth and sustainability principles are a necessity.

At Sand Creek Plaza we are aware of these changes and are critical to becoming sustainable. The challenges of creating such industrial parks require experts grounded in demographics, markets, public policies, and finance. SCP has earned local recognition as a leader in real estate development. We go far beyond traditional services, integrating a personal touch into our work. With our hands-on approach, and attention to quality, achieving repeated success for our clients is a guarantee.

Sand Creek Plaza continues to fulfill our mission as a sustainable leader by the use of green cleaning products, efficient lighting, recycling, reduction of energy use, and encouragement of employee alternative commute methods.
