Urban Core vs. Encompassing MSA Markets: Differences in Pricing versus Performance
Re-Defining America’s Downtowns:From Central Business District to Central Urban Core
Re-Defining Downtowns: Motivation • Our ultimate goal is to understand property performance within metropolitan markets: • Are there any advantages to most central locations? • Are patterns of urban economic activity changing spatially? • The challenge is in defining the “central location”: • Definitions based on political boundaries are too broad and encompass suburban areas • CBD or “downtown” definitions are too narrow in their focus on office business districts. Hence, they fail to capture variations in demographic and employment trends. • As a result, we have embarked on an effort to re-define “downtowns” with a new definition that is broader than CBD, but narrower than “Central City”
Re-Defining Downtowns: Motivation • We call such areas the “Central Urban Core” (CUC) of a region, where CUC must meet several objectives: • It covers the major employment center within the central city, generally comprising financial and service firms • It expands the area to include major shopping venues and cultural attractions (museums, theaters, and sports complexes) • It then expands that area to encompass contiguous denser residential neighborhoods whose residents generally work at the employment central and patronize the retail and cultural amenities • Based on zip code areas to make it usable for investors • We utilize a GIS-based methodology (Google Earth), which layers several sources of data on the map and then make our selections
Re-Defining Downtowns: Method Let’s illustrate this process using San Francisco CBD

Outline of the Study • Compare growth in population (2000-2010), employment (1999-2009) and revenue (2001-2011) in CUCs relative to their markets • Compare cap rates (2003-2012 average) in CUCs and their encompassing markets • Compare differences in cap rates between CUCs and their markets with the differences in revenue, population, and employment growth between CUCs and their markets)
