US CAPITAL TRENDS | THE BIG PICTURE
12-mth trailing cap rates
Commercial property sales reached near-record levels of activity in 2018. Volume climbed across all deal types and hit a record high level of activity for single asset sales. Despite these positive stories, there were signs of weakness late in the year.

In This Issue: We examine pricing and deal activity trends for the fourth quarter and for 2018 overall. We highlight the markets with record activity and rank the top deals and players of the year.
There is something for everybody in 2018. There are positive stories to be seen in annual deal volumes and pricing for those who are optimistic on commercial real estate. For prophets of gloom and doom, there are troubling signs as well. Part of the issue is timing, with challenges popping up in Q4’18.
Taking the broad view for the year, sale activity came in at a near-record high level and would have surpassed the 2015 values with just another $8b in deals. The year was the third largest on record for commercial property sales as capital continues to find opportunities in the U.S. commercial real estate market.
Portfolio and entity-level sales played an important role in the growth of deal volume for 2018 and represented 31% of all investment activity. The entity-level deals represented the strongest component of megadeal growth, both on a percentage basis and in absolute dollars. The $71.2b in entity-level deals completed in 2018 represents the second highest level of such activity historically. Only 2007 saw a higher amount.
Individual property sales did hit a record high level of activity for the year. The $387.5b in single asset sales completed in 2018 was 3% higher than the previous high-water mark set in 2016.
This growth in volume is occurring in the face of record high prices. The RCA CPPI for all property types climbed 6.2% in 2018 from 2017. This index shows that commercial property prices are now almost 30% higher than the levels seen at the peak of the last cycle in 2007.

Trends of 2018
Quarterly Transaction Volume
Year-Over-Year Change
Looking at deal activity into Q4’18, volume was up 20% YOY. To think that there is a sign of weakness in a quarter with growth up so strongly from a year earlier might seem odd, but the concerning sign is the trend from Q3. In any normal year, deal volume in Q4 will come in higher than the Q3 levels due to the seasonal push to get deals closed before year-end. This push typically puts Q4 deal volume up an average 23% higher than Q3 activity over time. In Q4’18, however, deal volume was up less than 1% from Q3’18 levels.
The slower-than-usual deal volume was primarily focused on December. Single asset sales fell 3% YOY in December and portfolio sales were down 19% YOY. Growth for the month overall was positive, though only because $15.3b in entity-level transactions closed in the month.
Industrial and office sales turned in the weakest pace of sales growth for individual assets in December, down 15% YOY and 8% YOY, respectively. Other property sectors did not post the same declines in volume but were weak, showing single-digit growth rates versus the high double-digit growth rates of recent months. There was turmoil in the financial markets in Q4’18 with the potential to impact pricing, which in turn limited deal volume.

The Impact of Opportunity Zones
Billions of dollars of tax-incentivized capital are expected to flow into the 9,000 newly-designated “opportunity zones” in the year ahead. A spike in the sale of development sites within opportunity zones was the first sign of the impact of this legislation. Trends in development site sales both inside and out of opportunity zones moved together up until the end of 2017. Since Q4’17, however, development site sales within opportunity zones have grown at high double-digit rates.
Developing new commercial properties is becoming more expensive. Since it is more expensive to build, fewer projects may pencil out generally. Construction in the coming years is likely to shift more to these opportunity zones. The development site sales are clearly a leading indicator of such a shift. Sales in opportunity zones used to represent 10% of all development site sale activity, but with the double-digit growth rates, such sales were 14% of all activity in 2018.

Cap Rates
Property Prices
YOY change in RCA CPPI
Financial market turmoil was a key theme for Q4’18. In addition to the gyrations of the stock markets, the 10yr UST surged past the 3% level into late September and early October. Commercial property is a yield sensitive investment and any movement in the long end of the yield curve can impact both buyer perceptions of the relative rates of return on offer as well as the costs of financing.
Despite the turmoil in the financial markets, cap rates were unchanged-to-down from a year earlier in Q4’18. Many investors had expected – almost hoped – that cap rates would increase with the interest rate turmoil but there are no signs of such an increase yet. Rather than react to the short-term movements in the 10yr UST, owners took a pause and deal activity faltered.
Deal volume often follows trends in the risk appetite of investors. This appetite can be seen in the spread between the 10yr UST and Moody’s Baa corporate bond index. When this spread widens, investors are becoming risk averse and requiring a premium on corporate debt relative to the safety of the 10yr UST. As shown in the chart below, growth in single asset deal volume often mirrors this spread. This risk aversion measure climbed from Feb’18 to Dec’18 as corporate bond rates moved up more strongly than the 10yr UST. Of concern for 2019, corporate bond rates have not declined in line with the 10yr UST into January, indicating even more risk aversion that could impact deal volume this year.
Will Increased Risk Aversion Spell Trouble for 2019 Deal Activity?

US CAPITAL TRENDS | BIG PICTURE
Sector Momentum
Deal volume and price growth were somewhat correlated within property sectors in 2018 when looking at the breakout between trends in the Non-Major Metros (NMM) versus the 6 Major Metros (6MM). However, there are exceptions.
The apartment sector was the largest commercial real estate investment market in 2018 with deal volume of $172.6b. Annual growth in deal volume in the NMM came in at only 7% versus the 25% growth in sales within the 6MM. The stronger growth within the 6MM came with weaker growth in the RCA CPPI for apartments – up only 4.5% in 2018. Within the NMM, apartment prices were up 10.8% for 2018. The stronger growth within the 6MM is likely a function of deal volume pausing in Manhattan in 2017 and rebounding in 2018.
Likewise, the CBD office sector has this unusual setup where the markets with stronger growth in volume have weaker growth in prices. CBD office activity in the NMM is a thin market – only $11.5b in activity in 2018 versus $51.8b in CBD office activity in general. Within the NMM though, volume fell 9% from the 2017 levels but posted 8.5% growth in prices. Volume was stronger in the 6MM, with CBD office sales up 13% for the year, but the RCA CPPI dropped 4.0% for assets in these locations. Again, the rebound of deal activity in Manhattan from a weak 2017 distorts the trends for the year.
The industrial sector was the third largest investment market in the U.S. for 2018, with deal volume coming in at $92.4b. The portfolio and entity-level activity helped spread capital to a number of smaller markets and the NMM posted the strongest growth rates for deal volume.

Top Markets
Manhattan retook the #1 spot for deal volume in 2018. This perennial leader had slipped to the #2 slot in 2017 as a pullback by Chinese investors cast a cloud of uncertainty over the market. Not that Chinese buyers were the only source of capital in the market, but their behavior in the preceding years had adjusted pricing expectations for many investors. Cap rates in Manhattan have adjusted up slightly from the lows seen in 2016 and deal volume regained ground in 2018.
Los Angeles slipped back to the #2 slot in 2018 due to the strong rebound in Manhattan. At the same time, while deal volume accelerated in Manhattan, it stalled in Los Angeles with only 2% annual growth.
The Texas markets of Dallas and Houston stand out as interesting markets in the ranking of the top 25 markets
because both markets posted record high levels of deal activity in 2018. These markets each had elevated exposure to the entity-level transactions completed in 2018, with close to 14% of all deal volume in each of these markets tied to such deals.
There was a near-tie for the #3 slot in the rankings for 2018, with deal activity in Dallas a mere $107m higher than that seen in Chicago. Dallas beat out Chicago even though Chicago posted 30% growth in deal volume for the year. Dallas notched a record high level of activity in 2018 even as the market posted only posted a 4% pace of growth. Chicago did not hit a record high for the year despite its strong gain because the EOP transaction in 2007 was heavily concentrated in Chicago and drove deal volume levels that year to a threshold too high to match in 2018.

Market Momentum
Across markets, there was a bit of a scattershot pattern between volume and price growth for commercial properties in 2018. Scattershot, in that some markets with similar growth in deal volume have significantly different trends in price growth as measured by the RCA CPPI. This said, most markets are in the top right quadrant, which represents a combination of both growing deal volume and growing prices.
The markets outside of that top right quadrant are interesting as exceptions to the general rule. Again, Manhattan retook the #1 spot for deal volume in 2018 and posted a 50% pace of growth for the year.
The 1% decline in the RCA CPPI for Manhattan is precisely why deal volume grew so much for the year.
Owners had held too high of a price expectation for their assets late into 2016 and into 2017 and the market stalled. As these owners became willing to accept some small price changes, deal volume surged.
There is no similar story of the capitulation by sellers at play in other outlier markets such as Boston and DC. Deal volume in DC grew at a 7% pace in 2018 while prices fell 2.5%. In Boston, volume fell 1% while the RCA CPPI dropped 2.1%. As in many of the 6 Major Metros, prices in these markets are at record high levels and there is a bit more of a pushback from investors looking at opportunities in these markets.

Market Snapshots
Entity Deals Boost Chicago Volume in 2018 Houston Back on Investor Radars
Deal volume in the Boroughs of New York hit an all-time high in 2018. Exposure to the Brookfield acquisition of Forest Realty helped push activity to this new high level. Despite the record activity, the RCA CPPI for these markets is down 3% from the peak set in Q1’18.
Many investors wrote off Houston into 2016 as fears over oil prices limited their appetite for investment. Transaction volume hit a record high of $17.4b in 2018 because this Texas hub is more than just oil. The RCA CPPI coasted through the 2016 period and accelerated into 2018.
While many markets have seen deal volume fall from the high set in 2015, in Los Angeles activity has been steady at close to $48b per year over the last four years. In line with the volume trends, prices are now at a record high level, with the RCA CPPI growing 6.3% YOY in Q4’18
Deal volume in Chicago closed at $23.6b in 2018, up 29% from the 2017 pace. Still, activity was higher in 2015. This metro area was exposed to every major entity-level transaction that closed in 2018. Despite the growth in volume, price growth was relatively flat in 2018, with the RCA CPPI up only 1.9% YOY in Q4’18.
