The Portland Metro commercial real estate market is
beginning to show signs of an economy adversely impactedby recession. The office, industrial and retail sectors are
slipping and can no longer help buoy the economy whichhas been drug down by the tanking residential market.
Without the ability to gaze into a crystal ball to predict thefuture, it is hard to forecast when the overall real estatemarket will hit bottom and when it will begin to crawl backout. Dont expect an inflection point for at least a few more
quarters even from the most optimistic perspective. Doexpect a vast amount more retailers to call it quits in the
coming months as the aftermath of the grim holiday seasonis sorted out. Some experts project that over 12,000 stores will
go dark across the US by year end. When the dust settles, thisrecession will hopefully provide the road map to reinvent theretail market in a way to generate sustainable growth.
The 2008 holiday shopping season was dismal and left manyretailers reeling in the already stagnant economy. The
International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) which tracksretail sales volume shows that the holiday retail sales fell to a
low that hasnt been touched in over 35 years. The outlookfor 2009 is bleak; unemployment has reached a high thathasnt been seen since 2003, rising to 9.0% in Oregon and will rise higher. In reaction, retailers are slashing prices to
entice consumers that have expendable income to shop attheir stores. However, these are not a sustainable long-term
business practices.
With many big box retailers filing for bankruptcy, there isincreasing availability of unobstructed spaces available in
the marketplace. With the collapse of Wicks, Linens N Things,
and Circuit City, it has left an additional 1% vacancy in thelocal Portland retail market alone. Many of these vacantspaces arent the appropriate size to accommodate the few
active national retail tenants. A high level of incentives fromproperty owners will be required to attract willing tenants tolease the empty spaces. Likely incentive will either come with
high tenant improvement funds or months of concessions orboth. However with many national retail tenants taking a
conservative growth route and waiting out the uncertainty ofthe volatile financial markets; it is likely that a majority of
these vacancies will endure prolonged vacancy periods.

Retail supply, vacancy and absorption are analyzed usitheNorris, Beggs & Simpson Retail Market Report. As of t
end of the fourth quarter 2008, the total retail supply in thPortland market was 43,178,907 SF of which 2,521,052 was vacant, indicating a vacancy rate of 5.8%, up 90 ba
points from 4.9% one year ago. This shows a relatively hig vacancy rate from what the Portland market
experienced in the past five years. This increase can b
largely attributed to the increase in vacant big box spacdue to bankrupt national and regional retail chaiCurrently, the Portland market is experiencing a ret vacancy rate that is slightly above the range typic
exhibited by healthy markets of 4 to 5%.

Portland ranks as the third lowest retail supply per capitaaccording to CoStar. This positions Portland well to beartough economic times and is evidence that the Portlandmarket is not overbuilt with retail like many major US markets.Presently, it is easier to appreciate the insolating impact thatthe UGB and stringent zoning have on the region, rather than
focus on the obstacles they present to sustained growth..

Since the early 2000s investors have looked for relatively sainvestment vehicles. With the stock markets slumping amoney markets erratic, many investors flocked towards reestate investing. With property values on the rise it was a sabet that any property they bought could be sold for a proin five years. However with the recent softening of tcommercial market, the residential market six months prior that, and the CMBS market evaporating overnight; it has l
many participants at risk of being upside down in thinvestments. The previous five years of a bull real estamarket peaked and we are now in the midst of a bemarket. Investors are being less hasty with their money aare searching for the best deals they can find.

The following table shows historical CAP rate trends in Oregofor the past several years. The average CAP rate for centers rose from 6.8% during 2007 to 6.9% in 2008; nominal change; however, a telling sign of the times come. Increased vacancies will likely push CAP rates highin the coming year as investors take a more conservati
approach for non-stabilized properties and are faced whigher costs for loan dollars, which will require reduced pricto maintain modest cash-on-cash returns.

CAP rates in Oregon trended downward for several years;however, they stabilized (2006-07) and have trended upward
slightly in the past year due to the credit crisis and increasedinvestment risk in todays economy. Interviews with sales
brokers familiar with both local and national real estateinvestments indicate that CAP rates and corresponding
values within the Pacific NW region are holding strong relativeto other regions. However, this might be a lag effect similar
to the one seen in our housing markets.
Several factors contribute to the relatively strong commercial
real estate fundamentals in the Pacific NW region: (1)stringent zoning and scarcity of developable commercial
sites create a barrier to entry for new development; (2) stablesupply/demand conditions (vacancy levels) insolate existingdevelopment and ensure that market rent levels at minimum
match inflation; (3) very few prime investment properties areavailable for sale, while demand from local, regional and
national investors is still relatively strong in this marketplace;and (4) the relationship between NOI and value (CAP rates)
have remained in balance relative to other regions. Even the
best markets with the most ideal fundamentals are primedfor correction in a slumping global economy.

Unemployment is on its way up as recession breeds job
losses. Oregon has the 6th highest unemployment rate in theUS as of December. The national average is at 7.2% and
Oregon is almost two hundred basis points higher at 9.0%.Some of our neighbors have slightly higher unemployment,
with Nevada at 9.1% and California at 9.3%. Expectunemployment to rise with the number of retailers and majoremployers downsizing or declaring bankruptcy. President
Obama is working towards an economic stimulus program tohelp combat the high unemployment; however, it could
take several months before any relief is created by thisprogram. Some economist are doubtful of the long-termbenefits than can be provided by any stimulus package.Below is a graph that charts unemployment in Oregon and in
the United States as it has been on the rise in the past year.
