South Florida Office Dollar Volume Surges in 2Q 2018: 2Q 2018 Vizzda/MIAMI Realtors Commercial Report Released

MIAMI/ SEPTEMBER 05, 2018 (STL.News)

South Florida office dollar volume rose to its highest value in the past three quarters, according to the new 2Q 2018 The Quarterly Report – South Florida Commercial Real Estate released by data firm Vizzda (Visual Data) and the MIAMI Association of Realtors Commercial (MIAMI Commercial).

Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties registered a combined $799.4 million in office sales in 2Q 2018, up 46.7 percent from the $545.0 million spent in 1Q 2018. It’s the most spent on South Florida office product since 2Q 2017 ($876.4 million).

“Steady job growth and population gains are encouraging more businesses to invest and expand in South Florida,” said 2018 MIAMI Commercial President Brian Sharpe, a commercial Realtor with Sharpe Properties Group in Hialeah. “Financial services, healthcare companies and major corporations are spending more on local office product, and it’s boosting our economy.”

The Quarterly Report – South Florida Commercial Real Estate includes stats on all property sectors.

Miami-Dade County More than Tripled its Office Dollar Volume from 1Q 2018 Miami-Dade County led South Florida’s surge in office dollar volume by posting $533.9 million in sales in 2Q 2018, more than three times the $143.9 million output in 1Q 2018.

Miami had the largest office transaction in South Florida in 2Q 2018. A partnership between Parkway Properties and investment giant KKR paid $248.5 million for the Sabadell Financial Center in Miami in June 2018. The deal marked one of the most expensive local office purchases since the Southeast Financial Center sold for $500 million in 2016.

Broward and Palm Beach counties saw per square foot office valuations rise quarterly and annually, while Miami-Dade saw valuations decline over the same periods.

South Florida Industrial Transaction Volume Increases in 2Q 2018 Miami-Dade and Broward industrial markets saw their highest transaction volumes, respectively, on a quarterly basis in more than a year in 2Q 2018.

South Florida industrial per square foot valuation continued to rise—settling at a value of $129 per square foot for a third consecutive quarter of growth. Miami-Dade had the highest at $142 per square foot.

South Florida Multifamily Transactions Increased 10 percent from 1Q 2018 South Florida multifamily transactions rose for the second consecutive quarter to 154 – a 10 percent increase from 1Q 2018.

Total dollar amount spent rose from 1Q 2018, registering the first $1 billion quarter dating back to 3Q 2017. The bulk was realized in Palm Beach County, which had more than $600 million in multifamily sales.

Miami-Dade Retail Posts Second Highest Dollar Volume in over a Year Miami-Dade saw the second highest dollar volume of any county on a quarterly basis in over a year. Broward and Palm Beach counties saw strong gains from 1Q 2018.

In total, dollar volume transacted grew by nearly 10 percent to $715.1 million from the prior quarter but remains slightly below the $721.9 million transacted during the same period last year.

SpendTrend 2012-First Data Releases Analysis

November 2012 SpendTrend

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–First Data Corporation, a global leader in electronic commerce and payment processing, today released its First Data SpendTrend®analysis for the full month of November 2012 compared to November 2011. SpendTrend tracks same-store consumer spending by credit, signature debit, PIN debit, EBT, closed-loop prepaid cards and checks at U.S. merchant locations.

“At first glance, it appears that spending growth is healthy heading into the holiday season”

Dollar volume growth remained solid at 5.8% in November, down from 6.7% in October. The growth was considered healthy as November 2011 was a strong month with dollar volume growth of 7.3%. The growth significantly weighted to spending at retailers during the latter half of the month. Although Black Friday retail spending was weaker this year with growth at 8.3% compared to 9.7% last year, overall November dollar volume growth still performed well.

Most retail segments experienced healthy year-over-year dollar volume growth. Overall Retail dollar volume growth was 5.6%, a three-month high and a significant jump compared to the 3.5% growth in October. Year-over-year average ticket growth was -0.2% in November, down from October’s growth of 0.8%. Retail average ticket growth of 2.0% remained relatively stable, which reflects the strengthening position of retail as some merchants are less inclined to drive sales at the expense of margins.

“At first glance, it appears that spending growth is healthy heading into the holiday season,” said Rikard Bandebo, vice president and economist, First Data. “However, November 2012 was among the slower growth months this year, so retailers may begin to engage in more competitive pricing to attract shoppers as the holiday season progresses.”
