Tenant Perspective – Part 1
FIVE FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO $5 COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE RENTS
1. Rising interest rates:
Rising interest rates and corresponding rental rate increases have a direct impact on tenants. Tapering off from its policy of quantitative easing, the Federal
Reserve has reduced its purchases of assets from $85 billion to $75 billion per month. Further tapering is expected to cause interest rates to rise.
Twelve months ago, 30-year mortgage rates stood at 3.2 percent. In April 2014, rates are up to 4.4 percent, and over the next few years we may see further increases of up to three percent in rates for building owners. The resulting rise in rental rates could prove dramatic for tenants whose leases are expiring. The solution is to start now to negotiate a long-term lease at a reduced rate.
