Crossman & Company Releases ICSC 2010 Florida Retail Report
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Crossman & Company, one of the largest third-party retail leasing and management firms in the Southeast, presented the bi-annual ICSC Spring Florida Retail Report at the ICSC West Florida Idea Exchange in Tampa recently. Crossman & Company has produced the report on behalf of ICSC for the past 15 years. The report includes contributions from over 45 separate companies throughout the state.
“We have seen a return to stability in the market in the first half of 2010,” said Justin Greider, the primary author of the report. “In nearly every market of the state we have seen the freefall of rents and occupancy leveling off, indicating we may have found the bottom of the market, though significant challenges still remain for owners and retailers alike.”
The report notes that rental rates for the entire state average $14.27 for year-end 2010, down nearly 15 percent from the peak in the first quarter of 2008. Occupancy has leveled off at 89 percent, a decrease of about 6 percent from its peak in 2006.
“The outlook for the next 6-12 months is one of cautious optimism,” Greider said, “People throughout the state are very positive, but the recovery is going to be long and slow, and there is still a lot of over-valued product that has to work its way through the system.”

Hendricks & Partners Reports Sales of 3,302 Apartment Units in 2010
ORLANDO - The Orlando office of Hendricks & Partners, the nation’s largest multi-family advisory and research firm, reported it negotiated sales of 10 apartment properties in 2010 that total 3,302 units in the Southeast.
Cole Whitaker, partner who heads the Orlando office of Hendricks & Partners and oversees the firm’s operations throughout the Southeast, said he and associate partner Hal Warren negotiated all 10 multi-family property sales as well as sales of three Florida development sites that total 402 acres.
Multi-family property sales included two student housing properties, Whitaker said.
“We project that transactions involving apartment properties will increase in 2011 as the economy improves,” Whitaker said.
“We don’t foresee significant new construction region-wide,” Whitaker said, “however, in certain submarkets in the southeast, it makes sense to consider new multi-family development and we expect to see some new construction,” he said.
