Grubb & Ellis Co. released its annual forecast Monday, predicting that commercial real estate will decline more slowly in 2009, reaching bottom by the end of the year and starting to recover in 2011.
The problem is the labor market, which is just beginning to improve and then only slightly. “Because commercial real estate lags the labor market, it still has a ways to go before reaching its own low point," says Bob Bach, senior vice president, chief economist of Grubb & Ellis.
Bach disputes the notion promulgated by some that the commercial real estate market is the next bubble to burst. Grubb & Ellis examines all segments of the commercial market and concludes that across the board the “free fall we saw in 2009 is over, and the future is more certain, giving owners and users of real estate the confidence to begin making decisions again," Bach says.
Offices
The national vacancy rate is expected to reach 18.5 percent to 19 percent by the end of 2010, the highest since the company began keeping records in 1986. The Austin, Texas, office market is expected to recover most quickly, followed by Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.
Industrial markets
The demand for industrial space increased in 2009; nevertheless, Grubb & Ellis expects warehouse rents to decline 6 percent and vacancy rates to reach 11.5 percent in 2010.
Retail
Recovery is expected to be weak with little demand until 2011. “Retailers and owners of retail real estate will need to adapt to a 'new normal' in consumer attitudes that may last for some time, including more conservatism and attention to value as households rebuild their savings," Bach says.
Multi-housing
Apartments will benefit from the decline of homeownership rates to pre-bubble levels or less, as well as increased volume of 20- to 29-year-old apartment seekers as the boomers' kids move out on their own.

I have developed my mailing list of addresses for Christmas much like the video reveals utilizing MS word 2010 without troubles.
I can easily print one tag per web page or I can easily publish
the exact same label on the page 30 times. I want to print my listing of various address on the page so I
have 30 various labels to mail. I can easily not obtain that done in the tag section.
If I publish with the typical going to declare, then print, I receive the file to print
out but not formatted for the sort of labels I am
using. I simply do not see exactly how I can do the various address
tags to publish in the label tab.
Thanks,.
