Welcome to the 2008 NC-CCIM Triangle Market Forecast
Triangle Office Market Thomas “Skip” Hill, CCIM Vice President, Raleigh Highwoods Properties, Inc.
Wall Street vs. Main Street “What became clear after only a few sessions was a marked difference from the doom and gloom we hear about to what is actually happening at property level. A large number of CEO’s, across all property types and the world, have not yet seen a significant slowdown or marked decrease in rents or occupancies. The CEO’s are likely describing what they are seeing and however, the reality is that weaker conditions are likely or the horizon.”
Five Emerging Themes • Real estate fundamentals are not yet indicative of current economic uncertainty/weakness (national perspective) • Cap rate trajectory is unclear • Development has shifted from a source of growth to a source of risk • Valuations and the impact of financial services weakness remains uncertain • Liquidity is king
