As of Q3 21, 1.2 million SF of space is under construction, representing 1.0% of inventory. “Two sectors of the Columbus Office Market are very active in 2021 as companies continue their return to the office: owner/occupant office sales 20k SF and below, and tenant office leasing 10k SF and below. Lucrative financing opportunities, move-in ready space with short-term commitments for evaluating growth and minimal landlord TI requirements are all contributing.

Robinson, President and CEO | Alvis House Read Case Study Recent News What You Should Know About a Broker Opinion of Value November 23, 2021 What is the Difference Between a Broker Opinion of Value and an Appraisal? Both a Broker Opinion of Value (BOV) and an appraisal utilize the same approaches to determining the value of properties, however there are some key differences. To begin, an appraisal is performed by a state-licensed third-party and performed at a cost. Specifically, in terms of commercial real estate, the cost may be significant. Often, a BOV is at little or no cost, as many brokers provide this service as a means of earning the representation for the property. There are specific guidelines stipulating what uses a BOV may or may have. Another key differentiator between a BOV and an appraisal is the detail provided. There are variations in depth of the BOV analysis, but most consider the property condition, size, location, age, tenant data, and a number of other attributes of the physical structure/property. Appraisals tend to include external factors in addition, including area demographics, topography, drainage and soil conditions, and flood and environmental hazards. That is not to say that the analysis of a BOV isn’t comprehensive. Brokers performing these opinions are skilled at market research and analysis. The guidelines, however, for the details necessary to include in an appraisal are more stringent. Read More City of Columbus Aims to Address Affordable Housing with 2021 CRA Abatement Policy November 18, 2021 The Columbus Department of Development presented its proposed update to the Community Reinvestment Area Residential Abatement policy as part of a scheduled three-year review, on Wednesday Nov. 17, during a public meeting. The updated proposal affects tax abatements in both the legacy community reinvestment areas, as well as in designated as “Market Ready” and “Ready for Revitalization” areas, which are determined based on the number of qualifying distress criteria. Distress criteria include population growth, median household income growth, poverty rate, growth in median rent, housing vacancy rate and mortgage foreclosure rate. Proposed eligible developments would qualify for a 100% 15-year tax abatement as long as they remain compliant with the requirements for the entirety of the 15 years. The 2018 policy mandated that multi-family housing developers set aside 10% of units for residents earning 80% of the area median income (AMI) and 10% of units for residents earning 100% AMI in order to earn an abatement. The proposed policy would now mandate that developers go “deeper or wider” in providing affordable housing. To achieve this, multi-family developers could “deepen” affordability by offering 10% of units to residents earning 60% of AMI and 10% of units to those earning 80% of AMI, or developers could choose to “widen” the percentage of units being allocated from 10% to 30%, while maintaining that residents earn 80% of AMI.
