How Art Can Help Revitalize Neighborhoods

An underlit walkway known for pedestrian accidents is made brighter and safer with vintage neon signs. Part of a parking lot is transformed into a pocket park. The dingy area under an overpass comes alive with artwork and murals.

These examples of creative placemaking were highlighted on Tuesday at the National Association of REALTORS®’ webinar “A Collaborative Approach to Building Communities through Arts and Culture,” part of the association’s Transforming Neighborhoods webinar series(link is external). The speakers offered examples of the ways art can be used to revitalize vacant and abandoned properties and create a sense of community, improve safety, and encourage economic investment.

Through creative placemaking, public, private, nonprofit and community partners can work together to reshape underutilized and distressed properties around arts and cultural activities, said Liz Kozub, associate director for national leadership and education at the Center for Community Progress(link is external), a nonprofit organization focused on eliminating vacancies. Creative placemaking works best, Kozub explained, when it follows a three-pronged approach. Such work should:

  • Create a distinct sense of place to which people have an authentic emotional connection
  • Encourage existing residents and businesses to remain, and new residents and businesses to invest
  • Reduce vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties

According to a recent survey conducted by CCP, vacant lots were the property type most likely to be used by communities for creative placemaking, followed by vacant commercial structures. Revitalizing commercial structures, in fact, can be instrumental in rehabbing a struggling downtown area. Kozub shared the success of the Big Zipper Project in Meadville, Pa., that invited the entire city to participate in an art project in an area with several commercial vacancies. “The project got people excited to see their own art, and three properties found new occupants because of this work,” said Kozub.

Creative placemaking also enabled communities to better serve their residents during the height of the pandemic. When the staff of Beyond Walls(link is external), a placemaking nonprofit, realized that important health and safety information wasn’t being communicated to the residents of Lynn, Mass., they worked with artists to create posters encouraging people to wash their hands and wear masks. The nonprofit also created portable public hand washing stations and developed the “fold,” a modular barrier system that can be used to create outdoor dining spaces to encourage patronage of local restaurants while social distancing. Beyond Walls also worked to give area children a voice during the pandemic, creating a mural, composed of portraits of Lynn youth, that was placed on the outer wall of the community health center.

All of the Beyond Walls projects were possible, said company CEO Al Wilson, because residents, business, and government worked together. Real estate professionals can also be an important part of the equation. “I think REALTORS® play a really critical role in the community,” said Wilson. “They can help bring all parties to the table.”

Tech Firms Embrace Remote Work—and Office Buildings

Tech firms may be embracing remote work in a big way since the pandemic, but they’re still buying up office buildings too.

Google is still placing big bets in the office sector. The company just announced it’s purchasing an office building in New York City for $2.1 billion, the priciest sale of a single U.S. office building since the start of the pandemic and one of the most expensive in U.S. history, according to Real Capital Analytics.

“Fears of the office building’s demise look overblown,” The Wall Street Journal reports. Even as the COVID-19 delta variant spreads, companies are showing renewed interest in returning to the office one day. They’re making plans for their return, too.

They’re being drawn to lower office rents and higher vacancy rates. In Manhattan, office asking rents have dropped to 2017 levels. That’s prompted August leasing activity to more than double when compared to the previous month in Midtown, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The higher demand for office buildings comes at a time when many companies have embraced remote work. Google has allowed its employees to work from home since the spring of 2020. The company has recently delayed its return to the office until January 2022.

“But the Manhattan office purchase underscores how the company views office space as an important part of its long-term strategy,” The Wall Street Journal reports. Google’s $2.1 billion purchase is for a 1.3 million-square-foot property on the waterfront of Manhattan’s West Side.

Google, Facebook Inc., Apple Inc., Amazon, and other tech companies have become some of the largest renters and buyers of office space across the country. They’re taking advantage of lower office building prices.

“Even if they have 20% of their workforce working remotely, business is just growing so fast that the other 80% still needs a place to go,” Brian Kingston, chief executive of Brookfield Property Partners, told The Wall Street Journal.

The Future of Cities: ‘Extreme Automation’

How will commercial real estate needs change in the next five to 10 years? How has the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the change? And what’s the implication for cities? Those questions were top of mind as the National Association of REALTORS®’ inaugural C5 Summit(link is external), a commercial real estate conference, kicked off Monday in New York.

Cities have a bright future, said Greg Lindsay, a senior fellow and director of applied research at the New Cities Foundation(link is external) and Monday’s opening speaker, but the way residents live and work will undergo a radical transformation.

People take for granted that in the not-too-distant future, we’ll all be accepting deliveries from and riding around in autonomous vehicles. But what about autonomous buildings, which are essentially machines where goods, services, and amenities automatically come to you? That’s the future that Lindsay asked C5 attendees to think about. Research shows “Americans are ready for extreme automation,” Lindsay said.

To meet the demand, planners and developers are deconstructing spaces and rethinking them to combine housing, retail, industrial, office, and recreation. The vision for autonomous buildings includes these ideas:

  • Food can be dispatched from nearby centralized kitchens.
  • Retail and grocery delivery can deploy from micro-warehouses.
  • Residents can eliminate their daily commute through companies’ adoption of cloud solutions, flexible workspaces, and coworking.

Retailers and developers are already putting such ideas into action, Lindsay said. He pointed to Hub 121(link is external) in fast-growing McKinney, Texas, as a development that turns traditional city planning on its head. Rather than restaurants and amenities springing up to serve area office workers, the developers started with multiple outdoor beer gardens and restaurants, surrounding them with flexible workspaces, Lindsay said.

Buildings that can integrate technology and adapt to consumers’ and companies’ changing needs will succeed. “He who controls the app and the delivery controls the experience,” Lindsay said.

Amazon Fresh, for example, opened its first grocery store in Woodland Hills, Calif., and quickly began using delivery data to change the store layout in real time. Lindsay said the company is bringing to life the concept of the “15-minute neighborhood”—a term coined by University of Paris Professor Carlos Moreno to indicate areas where residents can mostly bike, walk, work, and meet all their needs within a 15-minute radius. Moreno, who serves as a special envoy for smart cities to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, envisioned the concept as a way of reducing cities’ carbon footprint while improving residents’ quality of life. He has said he draws inspiration from the work of Jane Jacobs, author of 1961 classic “The Death and Life of Great American Cities.” Jacobs famously fought urban planning efforts of the 1950s and ’60s that facilitated the growth of car-dependent, suburban living.

Bustling Times Square, where the C5 conference is being held through Wednesday, served as the perfect backdrop for Lindsay’s C5 Summit remarks.

While the pandemic proved that office workers aren’t place-dependent, “superstar cities have retained their vitality,” Lindsay told C5 attendees. “Urban cores are stronger than ever, even if the real estate types within them are changing.”

To thrive, he said, cities need to rethink the public realm, focusing on how to beautify it, activate it, and turn it into something that’s more useful. “We can no longer think of cities as places where we stack people.

What’s Holding Back Tech Adoption?

If commercial real estate lags behind residential in adoption of technology, it’s not for lack of investment in the sector. In the first half of 2021, equity and debt investment in U.S. proptech totaled $8.5 billion(link is external), surpassing the total amount of capital invested in 2020, according to GCA, an adviser in the proptech market.

“The biggest challenge we face is [lack of] data sharing,” said Deena Zimmerman, vice president at SVN Chicago Commercial, during a proptech panel at the National Association of REALTORS® C5 Summit(link is external) Monday. “In this business, people still keep information close to the vest. Landlords will say to me, please don’t tell CoStar what we leased this space for. People need to realize, when we share data, it helps all of us.”

Zimmerman is not only a sharer but a zealous advocate for technology. While her company subscribes to CoStar, she said she’s also a fan of Crexi(link is external), a commercial listing platform that offers a discount to NAR members, and REALTORS® Property Resource(link is external), where commercial practitioners can research properties and market areas and find deep data on more than 1 million active commercial listings and 55 million off-market properties. There’s no cost for NAR members to use RPR. It’s a benefit of membership. She also uses ArcGIS from ESRI and SitesUSA to help tenants do site selection.

Having access to such tools routinely help Zimmerman beat out larger real estate companies in her tenant rep business, she told the C5 Summit audience. In one instance, adding an RPR trade market report to a proposal led to an hour-long discussion with a potential client. No other broker had offered near that depth of information, she said. She won the business and earned a sizeable commission.

Other panelists echoed Zimmerman’s comments and offered reassurance to brokers nervous about taking the plunge into new, potentially disruptive technologies. “Brokers are here to stay, and brokers are essential to the transaction,” said moderator Ashkan Zandieh, entrepreneur-in-residence for NAR REACH(link is external) Commercial.

“New technology has leveled the playing field,” said Andrew Flint, co-founder of Occupier(link is external), a lease-management solution and 2020 REACH Commercial company. “I spent a lot of time at JLL, where we had access to platforms not available to smaller firms. Today, if you’re a five-person team, you can be up and running with this stuff within two weeks.”

Tyler Thompson, vice president of Second Century Ventures(link is external), said the pandemic has helped speed up the adoption of technologies. “The best brokerage teams out there are saying, ‘How can I leverage this stuff to boost my team?’” he said. But bringing transaction management to commercial real estate remains a challenge. “It’s a bigger problem to tackle in commercial [compared with residential] because every deal is different.” What every commercial broker should be thinking about is the customer experience they’re providing compared with experiences consumers have in other industries, Thompson said. “On the commercial side, there’s a lot of work to be done.”

‘Leaning in’ to Bring Tenants Back

The future of office real estate, post-pandemic, remains unknown. Office workers have proved they can be productive working remotely. Does it make sense for them to return to the office? And what will it take for them to do so?

“It won’t be the hub-and-spoke model, which companies didn’t do” in the past, said Doug Jamieson, corporate managing director for Savills North America, speaking Tuesday at the National Association of REALTORS® C5 Summit(link is external). Instead, it will likely be more like “hub and roam,” with companies purchasing co-working credits for employees working in the suburbs.

But companies will still need their hub, said Jamieson and his fellow panelists in a “future of office space” session talked about what that would mean for building owners and managers.

“Innovation will always come through collaboration, face-to-face meetings, white-boarding, hearing the tone in a person’s voice,” said Crystal Fisher, managing director of the commercial portfolio for Fisher Brothers, “but we’re together differently, probably more intentionally, probably using space differently, and with a digital component.”

“Some of these large corporate campuses are creating a Google-like environment for multi-tenant use,” Schultz said.

“Only a third of my team works in the same city anyway,” Jamieson said. “Events, company retreats, off-sites will become increasingly important. They have to be prioritized and planned.”

“On a personal note, I went back to the office last July,” said Scott Evans, chief digital officer for Related Companies and for New York’s mixed-use Hudson Yards development. “There are only so many Zoom calls a person can take. Interconnectivity helps people innovate. That’s tough to do unless you’re face-to-face.”

“I met a ton of people over the past 18 months,” said Jonathan Schultz, co-founder and managing principal of Onyx Equities. “But I don’t feel the same bond with that person until I get in a room with them. Most of my ideas were not my idea; they were from a conversation I had. I’m not saying you can’t work in collaboration with all these tools. They’re amazing. But they’re tools, and we’re why they were created.”

When moderator Kristin Beck, principal and vice president of  Project Management for Avison Young, asked about attracting workers back into the office, panelists said New York building owners and managers aren’t just paying attention to safety and hygiene protocols, which are the baseline. They’re building or adopting online amenity platforms, where tenants can participate in a range of services and activities.

“We’ve been leasing space throughout the pandemic,” said Fisher. “There’s a flight to quality. Everyone’s looking for more now. We were building amenities before the pandemic. Now we’re building lifestyle solutions. They’re not coming to a job that doesn’t offer a lifestyle solution, starting at the sidewalk and continuing throughout the office throughout the day.”

“At Hudson Yards, we look at whether we’re providing the right health, food, and other options that are compelling across the campus. There’s a whole digital component,” Evans said. “Apps are where the experience happens.”

@Ease(link is external), our amenities solution, blends the physical and digital gap. It includes a conference center that’s a recruiting tool for tenants,” Fisher said. “They can use the spaces to recruit new talent looking for elevated amenities.”

“I think of myself more as a hotelier than as a building owner,” agreed Schultz. “It’s fun and it’s where everything has gone. We’re starting to see occupancy rates increase, and we don’t want to have any resistance to someone wanting to walk in that door.”

In a separate session on Monday, Tishman Speyer’s Thais Galli, managing director of innovation, shared information about her company’s own amenities platform, Zo(link is external). It gives tenants “exclusive access to clubs, dry cleaning, dog walking, car washing, and happy hours,” Galli said. “How can we innovate to offer what Google and others are doing so companies don’t have to think about that themselves?”

“Everything we do, we’re leaning into it,” said Fisher. “The buzzword is experiential.”

Where Bills That Affect Real Estate Stand on Capitol Hill

Friday marks the first day of the new fiscal year for the federal government, a consequential date for a raft of programs and government funding. With hours to spare Thursday evening, Congress sent President Joe Biden a nine-week government funding extension. The bill continues funding at current levels through Dec. 3 and includes a reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program.

On Friday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s new Risk Rating 2.0 went into effect for new policies issued through the NFIP. Existing policyholders eligible for renewal can also now take advantage if they qualify for lower rates. All remaining policies are scheduled to transfer to the new rates on April 1, 2022.

Meanwhile, Congress continues to deliberate on Biden’s Build Back Better plan, which includes two bills: a bipartisan “hard” infrastructure plan covering traditional items like roads and bridges and a “human” infrastructure plan covering items like education and health care.

House Democratic leaders delayed a planned vote on the bipartisan hard infrastructure bill Thursday night after some legislators first sought a deal on the human infrastructure bill. This delay resulted in a temporary lapse in certain surface transportation programs beginning today. The bipartisan hard infrastructure bill has already passed the Senate.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen this week also warned Congress that the debt ceiling must be lifted or the U.S. could suffer a default around Oct. 18.

Description about this home for sale at 708 Hedgerow Drive, Broomall, PA. 19008

Welcome to your new Langford Hills ranch home in the highly sought after Marple Newtown school district. Your new home has been lovingly maintained, updated, and expanded by the current owner. As you enter the home, you’ll be greeted by gleaming hand scraped hardwood floors that run from the formal living room, straight through the dining room, and into the expansive family room addition. Just off the formal living room, you will find the primary bedroom suite, complete with a bonus room that could be a massive walk-in closet, office space or sitting room, with its own exterior access. New carpeting was just installed in the primary bedroom (Feb 2023). The primary full bathroom, updated in 2017, features durable laminate flooring and a double marble vanity with soft close drawers. Just off the dining room, you will find a sunny kitchen, featuring recessed lighting, under cabinet outlets, granite countertops, crown molding, and stainless-steel Energy Star appliances. Just past the dining room is an expansive family room addition, which added over 325 square feet of living space. It’s hard to pick the best feature of the family room. The environmentally friendly electric fireplace keeps the room cozy in the colder months, while the vaulted ceiling with ceiling fan-light combo adds to the feeling of tons of extra space. Not to be outdone, the room also features a live edge bar counter, with seating for up to 5 people. A new powder room and access to the rear patio complete the room, making for easy entertaining. Just on the other side of the home you will find 2 additional generously sized bedrooms and another full bathroom. The additional bedrooms also had brand new carpeting just installed (Feb 2023). The home features 2 zone heating, with one of the systems new in 2021, as well as new Anderson windows (2021). The flat top roof was replaced with a pitched roof (2012), which creates tons of storage space.

Fannie Takes Stand on Condos Needing Repair

Fannie Mae announced new measures in response to growing concerns about aging infrastructure that have followed since the deadly Champlain Towers South condo building collapse in Surfside, Fla. Fannie Mae issued temporary requirements that prevent the purchase of mortgages secured by condo and cooperative units with significant deferred maintenance. The new requirements take effect on Jan. 1, 2022.

Fannie Mae says it will continue to investigate the challenges surrounding aging condos and co-op infrastructures due to “significant deferred maintenance.” Fannie officials say they will continue to vet condo and co-op project reserves to ensure buildings are maintaining enough financial reserves to cover ongoing repairs. They also urged lenders and appraisers that appraisals on units in condo and co-op projects must document any special assessments or deferred maintenance that may impact the building.

“Condos and co-ops are an affordable homeownership option in many markets and a lifestyle choice for many buyers,” Jodi Horne, Fannie Mae’s director of single-family collateral risk management, writes in an Oct. 13 column.(link is external) “With a shortage of housing supply, it’s more important than ever for us to reaffirm our commitment to supporting sustainable homeownership in condo and co-op projects.”

Horne notes the challenges posed by aging buildings that were constructed or converted into rentals in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. A Community Associations Institute report from 2020(link is external) noted that association homeowners and boards too often are focused on keeping regular assessments low and “too often … associations fail to recognize serious structural and system failures. When damage becomes so obvious that it cannot be ignored, the tendency is to make superficial or temporary repairs and postpone comprehensive, in-depth restoration.”
