In February, Canadian asset manager Brookfield \u201cwalked away from two prime office buildings in Los Angeles after defaults on $784 million-worth of loans.\u201d according to <em>fDi Intelligence<\/em>. Mark Rose, CEO of global real estate advisory firm Avison Young, has never seen the level of office givebacks this high, noted <em>CNN<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In January, people working from home were hurting the New York City economy. As Columbia Business School Professor, Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, told the <em data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/08\/nyregion\/doom-loop-remote-work-pandemic-nyc.html\">New York Times<\/em><fbs-ticker data-name=\"NYT\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/new-york-times\" data-type=\"stock\"><br \/>\n  NYT<br \/>\n <\/fbs-ticker>, \u201cOn an average weekday, nearly half of New York City\u2019s workers stay away from the office; on Mondays and Fridays, the share is even higher. Subway and bus ridership are down by one-third from pre-pandemic levels. Major crimes rose more than 20 percent last year, and more than 300,000 people left the city in the first year of the pandemic, taking a total income of more than $21 billion. If office values decrease in proportion with usage, city revenue from property taxes will drop by $5 billion a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Too Little Housing<\/h2>\n<p>At the same time, there is not enough housing for all but the wealthiest people. The housing shortage keeps home prices high \u2014 out of reach for most people. Despite the high mortgage rates, housing starts are surging. It remains unclear whether that will result in enough affordable housing to satisfy demand.<\/p>\n<p>Here is evidence of too little housing and efforts to satisfy the demand:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Millions too few housing units. <\/strong>Freddie Mac estimated the U.S. is short about 3.8 million housing units \u2014 both for-rent and for-sale, according to <em data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/06\/20\/housing-shortage-prices-high\">Axios<\/em>. The U.S. has 142 million housing units, the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> reported.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Median house prices rose 40% since January 2020. <\/strong>The median home price, at $419,103 \u2014 though down 3.1% in the last year, according to Redfin<fbs-ticker data-name=\"RDFN\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/redfin\" data-type=\"stock\"><br \/>\n   RDFN<br \/>\n  <\/fbs-ticker> \u2014 is 40% higher than it was in January 2020. Contributing to the high price is a 39% drop in homes for sale since 2018, <em>Redfin<\/em> reported.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Housing starts surged 21.7% in May. <\/strong>Construction on new American homes jumped 21.7% in May, as home builders started work on single-family homes to meet strong buyer demand.

Richard Moody, senior vice president and chief economist at Regions Financial<fbs-ticker data-name=\"RF\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/regions-financial\" data-type=\"stock\"><br \/>\n  RF<br \/>\n <\/fbs-ticker> Corporation wrote in a note, \u201cTo say that we did not see this one coming would not even come close to capturing the degree to which the May residential construction data caught us off guard.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Challenges In Converting Office Space To Housing<\/h2>\n<p>Will builders close the gap between demand and supply? Or could all that excess office space be converted to housing?<\/p>\n<p>The short answer is that office space conversions are most likely to satisfy the demand of those seeking luxury apartments rather than affordable ones. In addition to changing the zoning restrictions to allow conversion from office to residential use, here are the common reasons it is challenging to convert existing office space into housing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Engineering impediments.<\/strong> \u201cThe large floor plates of many commercial office buildings built in the late 20th present challenges to conversions including limited access to daylight throughout most of the interior of each floor (in violation of most residential building codes),\u201d Justin Steil, MIT Associate Professor of Law and Urban Planning, wrote in a June 20 email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Need to update plumbing<\/strong>. Although some cities such as Portland, Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Chicago are streamlining approval processes and facilitating conversions, office buildings need more water and sewer lines to accommodate one or more bathrooms per residential unit instead of one or two bathrooms per floor in a typical office building, Steil noted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Considerable office conversion costs mean apartment prices must be high. <\/strong>It costs so much to make these retrofits that they make the most financial sense in cities with high rents. \u201cIt will cost $200 to $300 per square foot to retrofit. Either the building must be inexpensive for this to make sense or the apartments created must be expensive. Conversions into luxury apartments are happening in cities with high rents like Manhattan, San Francisco, and Boston,\u201d said Joseph Gyourko, Wharton School Professor, in a June 21 interview.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Affordable housing conversion could only work with government help. <\/strong>Conversion of office buildings will not solve the affordable housing problem without \u201cadditional municipal action,\u201d Steil said. Such action could mean giving up tax receipts during the conversion process. \u201cCities will be losing out on the real estate tax for two years until people are living in the apartments,\u201d Kosta Ligris, MIT Sloan School of Management Lecturer, told me in a June 21 interview.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Many office buildings will not make it. <\/strong>\u201cThe really good buildings will be fine. The older ones are hard to retrofit. Work from home will average one day a week which will reduce demand by 20%. There will be a decent number of buildings that won\u2019t make it. I don\u2019t see conversions happening for the middle class. There will be a massive number of landlords handing back the keys. What will happen to the regional banks that lent them the $40 million to $50 million?\u201d Ligris concluded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Van Nieuwerburgh is optimistic government subsidized construction of new housing downtown and the conversion of commercial buildings into apartments can help Manhattan. \u201cIn a best-case scenario, we remove 30 or 40 percent of the office stock in New York City, turn it into wonderful housing. New York City has all these great amenities, it\u2019s a wonderful place where young people want to live, regardless of where they work,\u201d he told the <em>Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">What Investors Should Do<\/h2>\n<p>Investors should consider bullish bets on home builders who will profit by meeting the demand for housing while betting against office landlords and banks that lend to them.<\/p>\n<p>Home builders worth evaluating include KBHome, PulteGroup<fbs-ticker data-name=\"PHM\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/pultegroup\" data-type=\"stock\"><br \/>\n  PHM<br \/>\n <\/fbs-ticker>, and Lennar<fbs-ticker data-name=\"LEN\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/lennar\" data-type=\"stock\"><br \/>\n  LEN<br \/>\n <\/fbs-ticker> \u2014 which are at or near all-time highs. Investors should consider whether these stocks could keep rising.<\/p>\n<p>Office landlords that might suffer include Brookfield Corp \u2014 which has lost nearly half its value since peaking in November 2021. Investors should assess the future creditworthiness of such companies.<\/p>\n<p>Banks, about which I wrote in April, that could be exposed include Valley National, East West Bank and Synovus Financial. Investors should evaluate whether they are likely to experience higher rates of loan defaults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/petercohan\/2023\/06\/22\/330-million-square-feet-in-vacant-office-space-wont-cure-housing-shortage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world is awash in empty office space as workers scramble for scarce and expensive places to live.
