Atlanta Perimeter March 2021 – Key Take-Aways

  • Very busy and lots of activity for everyone; floodgates are open:   retail restaurants; retail leases; 1031 exchanges; offices, industrial, development, construction etc.
  • Very busy on the “buy” side; people are trying to sell, but are a bit ambitious on the price side.  (Menden Freiman)
  • Seeing an uptick in tours and inquiries from institutional owners on the office leasing side (CBRE).  Lots of interest in Atlanta – major corporations have earmarked ATL as a growth market because of lifestyle, diversity, talent.
  • CBRE Team Portfolio – 60 deals in 2020 which was 30-40% down, but 75% have been renewals and the terms were within market.
  • Not expecting any negative impact to 1031 exchanges during Biden Administration.
  • Atlanta has finally made it to the upper tier of US Cities which should be great for CRE.
  • Did hard money loan to a self-employed investor for a church converted into an Event Venue on Donald Lee Holloway. (Atlanta Leasing & Investment)
  • Looking for 1-2 acre sites for an affordable housing developer in Decatur, City of Atlanta.  (Atlanta Leasing & Investment)
  • Have done more business this year than did all of last year (BA Barrett Construction)
  • Construction costs continue to go up; sub-contractors have more work than they can handle, so easy for them to walk away from jobs. (BA Barrett Construction)
  • Working on tenant v. buyer side right now because the price/sq.ft. on the sale side is escalating (McWhirter Realty Partners)
