NAI Global Chief Economist Evaluates Global Economy in Latest White Paper
Jan 30th
In his latest white paper, “Global Economic Round-Up”, NAI Global Chief Economist, Dr. Peter Linneman, evaluates the state of the global economy in Europe, Asia and the United States including the impact of the continuing European debt crisis, the rise of China and India and the current state of the U.S. economic recovery.
“The global economic recovery has been hindered by a massive game of Old Maid. Who will be forced to bear the losses generated during the downturn? Only when the losses are put behind us will the world be able to focus on creating new wealth,” said Dr. Linneman. “There is simply not enough European bank capital to cover the losses associated with Greece and any defaults by Spain, Portugal or Italy.”

Warehouse Demand
Aug 2nd
Warehouse demand appears to be gaining velocity with some caveats. While the demand varies from market to market, demand is typically for less space. The static nature of the overall demand points in a positive direction for the marketplace. Tenants are taking care to secure data on landlords and lenders to ensure that they are well capitalized and can provide for occupancy standards. Smaller industrial assets are trading fairly steady within the owner-occupier segmentation. Investment trading continues as well but based upon more stringent metrics and return requirements.
