After suffering the greatest performance declines in the history of the U.S. lodging industry during 2020, the nation’s hotels will benefit from what is expected to be a relatively rapid economic turnaround in 2021 and 2022, according to the June 2020 edition of CBRE’s Hotel Horizons forecast report. By year-end 2020, the Austin-area hotel market occupancy level is forecast to decline to 40.4 percent, representing a 44.0 decline from 2019 levels. Average daily room rates (ADR) are estimated to fall to $103.13, which is a 28.4 percent decrease from 2019 levels. Resulting revenue per available room (RevPAR) falls from $103.89 in 2019 to $41.66 in 2020, a 59.9 percent decline. Looking forward, occupancies are expected to increase to the mid-60 percent levels by 2022, but not to the relatively high occupancy level of 72.1 percent experienced in 2019. Average daily rates are projected to have strong annual increases, but not surpassing 2019 levels until 2023. While RevPAR estimates show strong annual increases, RevPAR is not expected to surpass 2019 results until the third quarter of 2023. “Austin is a resilient market with many strong, diverse sources of room-night demand, but like the rest of the world, the lodging sector has been hit hard by the pandemic,” said Jeff Binford, managing director of CBRE Hotels South Central Division. “Once travel and social gathering restrictions can be safely lifted, Austin should see recovery more quickly than many other markets. Our expectation is the first wave of travel will be leisure travelers originating from reasonable driving distances, followed closely by business travelers. Groups, events and conventions may take a little longer before full recovery. Once travelers feel safe, many of the great Austin events will be back on the calendar.” Click here to read more at www.rejournals.com.
The Boulder Group, a net leased investment brokerage firm, completed the sale of a single tenant net leased Walmart property located at 2103 Milam St in Columbus, Texas for $3,650,000.
The 44,754 square foot building is strategically positioned immediately off of Interstate 10 (29,157 VPD). Walmart benefits due to the lack of competition in the area as it pulls from multiple nearby communities. The nearest Walmart is approximately 25 miles away from the subject property. The Walmart property is ideally located in a retail corridor with H-E-B, McDonald’s, AT&T, Whataburger, and AutoZone. Columbus is located approximately 70 miles west of Houston, 125 miles east of San Antonio, and 87 miles south of Austin.
Walmart has a long operating history at the location since 1983. Walmart exercised multiple lease renewal options which demonstrate their commitment to the location. The lease was most recently extended in 2019 and there are now over five years remaining in the primary term of the absolute triple net lease.
Randy Blankstein and Jimmy Goodman of The Boulder Group represented the seller in the transaction. The buyer was a private Texas-based investor and the seller was a New York-based investment group. “Investors seeking higher yields are buying shorter-term leased properties with quality real estate fundamentals,” said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group. Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added, “Investment-grade tenants continue to garner significant interest amongst private investors.”
