Discover how cities' increasing understaffing and longer turnaround times have made permit approval a time-consuming challenge. However, there are actionable solutions to overcome these obstacles. One option is to invest in expedited turnaround times, which can fast-track your project. Alternatively, consider hiring a third-party expediter, someone well-versed in the city's processes, to ensure your application is review-ready and free from complications, saving you valuable time.

Private landlords tend to be cautious with their spending, holding onto cash until a tenant is secured. This can mean minimal upfront investment in preparing the space. On the other hand, institutional landlords take a proactive approach by investing in the space upfront, even without a confirmed tenant. This trend of increased institutionalization is beneficial for tenants, as it leads to more renovated and move-in-ready buildings in the market.

Join Justin and Grant as they discuss the current market and the rise of sublease space.

This year's So Cal industrial theme is negative net absorption and lease renewals. What does this mean in the marketplace? Lots of impasses in negotiation. Slower velocity. Deals are still getting done, though! Class A lease rates are holding on by a thread. Great credit is worth an 8-10% discount on rates for many projects. Class B landlords are doing their best to secure new deals and tenant renewals. Signing new tenants increasingly means going for a shorter term, like 3-4 years. A shorter term gives you occupancy, cash flow now, and the soonest mark-to-market opportunity possible when the market stabilizes. Tenants are increasingly trying to delay and decrease rates, of course. 1/2 of tenants are willing to let their property go to market to roll the dice on negotiating lower rates, while the other half talks a good game but still cannot risk their property going to market and the chance of having to move. Moving now is cash out of pocket today. A new higher rental rate is cash out of pocket month by month. Your business's cash flow position will usually dictate the answer to the question. It was fun to play host and have Grant La Bounty expand upon what tenants are experiencing and Chris Vassilian stepping into the shoes of the landlords.
