Jump Into Japan: Trends and Opportunities

Chris Holman welcomes Chris Miller, SIOR, Senior Vice President, Martin Commercial Properties, Lansing, MI.

This discussion is the first of three with Martin Commercial Properties team, and focuses on Industrial and Investment Advisory.

These were the questions they cover in this conversation: 
With industrial vacancy rates holding steady, what factors are driving demand in the market, and how do you see this trend evolving in 2025?

How are companies in the industrial sector adapting to supply chain challenges, and what role does location selection play in mitigating these risks?

With major investments from companies like GM, Neogen, and Gestamp, how do these large-scale projects impact industrial property development and investor confidence?

These interviews grow out of a series of three recent reports recently released by the company. You can access them at: https://martincommercial.com/marketinsights/ .

Industrial '24 Market Insights: "INDUSTRIAL ‘24 Market Insights Greater Lansing Area, Michigan | H2 2024"​

The Greater Lansing Area industrial market experienced an increase in the average vacancy rate for leased industrial space, rising from 8.9% in H1 2024 to 11.5% in H2 2024. This increase was primarily driven by significant vacancies in the South Submarket, which saw its vacancy rate jump to 26.5%.  Despite this, the overall market remains strong with healthy demand across most properties, particularly in the West Submarket, which boasts a low vacancy rate of 1.4% and positive net absorption of 63,096 SF. ​

Key developments in the market include Temperpack Technologies leasing 135,000 SF in the West Submarket, General Motors securing a $500 million federal grant for its Lansing Grand River plant, and the ongoing construction of Ultium Cells' 2.8 million SF battery plant.   Additionally, Neogen and Gestamp are making significant investments in new facilities, further indicating strong investor confidence in the region.  The largest owner-user sales in H2 2024 were 65,000 SF at 3366 Remy Dr. for $2.2 million and 55,000 SF at 2200 Olds for $1.1 million. ​

Absorption in the Greater Lansing industrial market totaled -179,614 SF in H2 2024, with the South Submarket experiencing the most significant negative absorption due to large vacancies.  The North Submarket remained relatively stable with minimal changes and no major leases signed.  Overall, the Greater Lansing Area continues to be viewed as a stable and promising market for long-term investment, supported by ongoing developments and strong demand in key submarkets. Investors and occupiers continue to view the Greater Lansing Area as a stable and promising market for long-term investment."

Michigan Business Beat | Chris Miller, Martin Commercial Properties - Industrial/Investment Advisory

Chris Holman welcomes Eric Rosekrans, CCIM, Executive Vice President, Martin Commercial Properties, and Thomas Jamieson, Martin Commercial Properties, Lansing, MI.

This discussion is the second of three with Martin Commercial Properties team, and focuses on their Office Advisory.

These were the questions they cover in this conversation: 
Office Advisory:
Office vacancy remains at a 20-year high. What strategies are landlords and tenants using to adapt to shifting work models and excess space?

Smaller occupies are leading leasing activity—what types of businesses are driving this demand, and how does it shape the future of office space design?

Given recent sales in the office sector, what trends are emerging given the buyers of these buildings?

These interviews grow out of a series of three recent reports recently released by the company. You can access them at: https://martincommercial.com/marketinsights/ .

Office '24 Market Insights: "OFFICE ‘24 Market Insights Greater Lansing Area, Michigan | H2 2024"​

The Greater Lansing Area office market experienced a slight increase in vacancy rates, reaching 21.9% in H2 2024, up from 21.2% in H1 2024. ​ The Central Business District (CBD) continues to struggle with higher vacancy rates (27.1%) compared to suburban markets (19.8%). ​ Absorption remained negative at -64,140 SF, although this was an improvement from the -98,661 SF recorded in H1 2024. ​ Leasing activity was steady, but transaction values dropped by about 30% as companies opted for shorter-term leases and downsized their spaces. ​

No new office space was completed in H2 2024, and none is expected in the near future due to low demand and high construction costs. ​ The largest leases in H2 2024 included HNTB (20,000 SF) and Thrun Law Firm (17,000 SF) in the East Submarket, and Cedar Creek Hospital (12,000 SF) in the South Submarket. Significant vacancies were created by Aetna Health vacating 30,000 SF and Ingenix (United Healthcare) vacating 9,500 SF in the West Submarket. ​ The market remains tenant-friendly, with landlords scrutinizing deals involving tenant improvements due to elevated interest rates and high renovation costs. ​

The Greater Lansing Area encompasses over eight million square feet of leasable office space, with the CBD and East Submarket accounting for 71.9% of the market. ​ The North Submarket saw a decrease in vacancy rates from 18.5% in H1 2024 to 11.7% in H2 2024, while the South and West Submarkets experienced increases in vacancy rates. ​ The market is expected to continue favoring tenants through 2025 and 2026, with no new speculative construction anticipated due to ongoing economic challenges. ​

Michigan Business Beat | Eric Rosekrans, Thomas Jamieson, Martin Commercial Properties, Office Space

Chris Holman welcomes Carson Patten, Vice President, Retail Advisor, Martin Commercial Properties, and Samantha Le, Senior Associate, Retail Advisor, Martin Commercial Properties,

This discussion is the third of three with Martin Commercial Properties team, and focuses on their Retail Advisory.

These were the questions they cover in this conversation: 
Retail Advisory:

Retail vacancy rates have dropped slightly despite economic pressures—what types of retail businesses are thriving, and what’s driving this resilience?

We’ve seen significant growth in build-to-suit developments. How are developers and retailers working together to create spaces that meet evolving consumer demands?

With the influx of new eateries and some notable closures, how do you foresee the balance between new openings and vacancies playing out in the next year?

These interviews grow out of a series of three recent reports recently released by the company. You can access them at: https://martincommercial.com/marketinsights/ .

Retail '24 Market Insights: "RETAIL ‘24 Market Insights Greater Lansing Area, Michigan | H2 2024"​

The Greater Lansing Area retail market experienced significant changes in H2 2024, with the vacancy rate increasing from 13.8% in H1 2024 to 16.4%. 
​ This rise was largely due to the closures of Rite Aid and Big Lots stores, which created new opportunities for smaller retailers. 
​ Notable developments include Dollar Tree securing a site in Haslett, Burlington and Best Buy consolidating their leases in the West Submarket, and several popular eateries and retailers planning to open new locations across various submarkets. ​

The East Submarket, the largest retail sector in the area, saw vacancies rise to 12.8%, driven by store closures but balanced by strong leasing activity from retailers like Dollar Tree and Lansing Duck Pin. 
​ The West Submarket also faced increased vacancies due to store consolidations, but it is attracting significant interest from major retailers such as Bass Pro Shops, which is set to open an 85,000 SF store in Delta Crossings. 

​The North Submarket experienced a decrease in vacancies, becoming a sought-after destination with new restaurants and entertainment venues like Dave & Buster's and Cooper's Hawk Winery. Despite the South Submarket having the highest vacancy rate at 29.4%, it is witnessing a revival with new fast food establishments like Dunkin' and Wingstop. 

​ Overall, the Greater Lansing retail market saw a net absorption of -216,877 SF, indicating a decrease in occupied space.  ​ Martin Commercial Properties continues to provide comprehensive real estate services and market insights, helping businesses navigate the evolving retail landscape in the region.
