Macro View 2012 and Our Solutions
The Macro View
Similar to 2011, this year starts with a favorable outlook. GDP is up, unemployment rates are down and the last quarter of 2011 saw improvement in leasing activity. Development has also returned in some selected areas under a new guise. Industrial developers are preparing sites and building pads with the goal of constructing the building once they secure a tenant. This modified build-to-suit will shave a year off the normal development cycle.

A few years into the Los Angeles commercial real estate recession and some things are clear. Good deals are limited. Distress never hit the street. There’s an evident turn around but most people aren’t recovered. And the smart money is still cautious – for instance, no vacancy risk.

KLEIN NEWS FALL 2010
Activity Is Up, But Far From Celebratory
With the year of fear behind us and summer doldrums over, should we expect an increase of activity? Compared to the past two years of bad news, yes, activity is up. Many businesses that were paralyzed with fear are now investigating opportunities in the property market.

The evidence is demonstrated by a few stellar deals that were purchased by a few brave souls who struck when no one else could.
