11. Office Market Rises and Falls
The rising and peaking markets are in which vacancy is decreasing, demand is increasing, rental rates are rising, and new supply is rising – a landlord-favorable market
The falling and bottoming markets are in which vacancy is increasing, demand is waning, rental rates are falling, and there is over-supply in the market – a tenant-favorable market
The CRE cycle continues around this clock again and again, and different markets across the U.S. reach these phases around the “clock” at different periods in time

20. Deep Dive: E-Commerce
E-commerce consumer expectations of next- or same-day delivery is accelerating, causing logistics modeling to skew to shorter drive times
Growth in e–commerce has led to strong demand for separate reverse logistics (returns) and final-mile (delivery) facilities in local markets
Facilities with favorable ceiling heights (24+ ft) and good column spacing are seeing activity, while older facilities with lower ceilings and tighter spacing struggle to attract buyers/tenants.
Slow evolution of New Construction due to price differential of existing product and construction costs
