Nelson Mills, president and CEO of Columbia Property Trust (NYSE: CXP), joined REIT.com for a CEO Spotlight video interview at REITWorld 2014: NAREIT’s Annual Convention for All Things REIT at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.
Columbia Property Trust invests in and manages commercial class-A office properties in primary markets within the United States. Founded in 2003, the company went public in October 2013.
Glenn Mueller, a University of Denver professor and real estate investment strategist at Dividend Capital Group, joined REIT.com for a video interview at REITWorld 2014: NAREIT’s Annual Convention for All Things REIT at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.
Mueller stressed that job growth has been a key indicator for real estate investors to consider. He explained that in 2014, average monthly employment growth averaged more than 200,000 jobs, compared with about 100,000 per month in the prior few years.
In the latest edition of Fundamentally Speaking, Calvin Schnure, NAREIT’s vice president for research and industry information, observed that commercial real estate fundamentals remain sound despite stock market volatility during October.
Schnure explained that movements in the stock market in October mostly reflected concerns about global growth and the impact of the global economy on the United States. Worries about the strength of the U.S. dollar and its impact on U.S. firms that repatriate their foreign earnings also played a factor, according to Schnure.
The commercial real estate industry is poised for broad-based growth in the coming year as performance and profitability continue to improve across most property types and markets, according to projections from consulting firm Deloitte.
The company’s 2015 outlook is supported by improving property fundamentals, a strengthening economy, easy financing, and increased domestic and international investment activity, according to Deloitte. Against that backdrop, U.S. REITs are expected to continue to outperform benchmark indices such as the S&P 500 and Russell 2000.
In the latest edition of Quick Study, Brad Case, NAREIT’s senior vice president for research and industry information, offered an analysis of REIT market gains in August.
The total return on the FTSE NAREIT All REITs Index increased 3.4 percent for the month, slightly below the 4.0 percent gain in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. As of the end of August, the FTSE NAREIT All REITs Index was up 19.8 percent, compared to a 9.9 percent gain for the broader market.
“REITs are strongly outperforming… real estate investors have really been rewarded,” Case said.
Eric Frankel, analyst at Green Street Advisors, joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWeek 2014: NAREIT’s Investor Forum, held in New York.
Frankel discussed developments in the industrial REIT sector during the first half of the year. Industrial fundamentals have been good for the past few years, said Frankel, noting that the recovery in the industrial sector started relatively slowly when the economy first began to improve about four years ago.
“It’s been pretty smooth sailing,” he observed.
Susan Persin, senior managing director at Trepp LLC, joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWeek 2014: NAREIT’s Investor Forum, held in New York.
