The previous recent highwas in February 2021, where 37% of listingsoffered concessions.Because the data set is all through Zillow, itwould be considered self-selected and sounlikely to be statistically representative of theentire country. However, it also is a largenumber of rental listings and not something tobe ignored offhand.There has been an ongoing trend this year ofmore landlords and property managers relyingon concessions as a marketing technique. Theywork with the assumption that resultingdownward pressure on realized rents is worththe tradeoff for lowering vacancy rates andmaintaining revenue.Zillow’s own data showed that 23% of listing inJanuary 2023 offered concessions like somenumber of months in free rent or parking. Thatcontinued to move upward to 28% in Marchbefore sliding to 25% in June.

Theprevailing trend is to convert vacant officebuildings into multifamily residential orhospitality properties. These designs are apurposeful, more sustainable solution thatprovides vibrancy to obsolete, underutilizedand often vacant buildings. Converting unusedoffices to another occupancy can addresshousing supply shortages and help bring backcommercial business districts. The improvedfunctional spaces increase the tax base fortaxpayer and municipality benefits. Theproperties utilize the existing publicinfrastructure, roadways, transportationnetwork options and utility connections forthe rapid reconnection of an existingcommunity. Understanding basic concepts ofconversions is critically important fordevelopment professionals, city officials andlocal communities. Each potential propertyneeds to be evaluated on its own merits todetermine the probability of success, andwhether the location, costs, timing andexisting building layout make sense for aconversion.Converting office to residential sounds simplein concept, but the execution is complicated.Architects can fix a property, but they cannotfix a location.

77REAL ESTATE NEWSNATIONALBUILTENVIRONMENTMore Americans than ever before areusing more credit cards for a variety ofpurchases and getting dangerously closeto the cards' spending limits.That is the conclusion of several newreports noting that while retail spendingthis fall has remained healthy, consumersare exhausting their credit cards.According to a monthly tracking effortconducted by the financial services firmGoldman Sachs, the average 30-day pluscredit card delinquency rate rose by0.16% from September to October.GROWING PERCENTAGEOF CREDIT CARD USERSARE AT RISK OFTOPPING OUT, SAYREPORTSBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment11/29/2023Copyright:Canva ProThat 0.16% figure is a big increase overthe 0.06% increase that is normally seenin the fall months. The trend line, suggests the Wall StreetJournal, shows that "some Americans'spending habits might not be sustainable,at least when it comes to their cards."The paper added that some card usersappear to be consuming "more of theiravailable credit from month to month--and could hit the wall once those lines areexhausted."According to consumer debt datacompiled by the Federal Reserve Bank ofNew York, Americans' total credit cardbalance stood at just over $1.079 trillionin the third quarter of this year. That's upfrom an earlier record of $1.031recorded in April to June of this year.Both sets of figures represent the highestbalance levels since the New York Fedbegan tracking such trends in 1999.Notes the site Lendingtree: "Credit cardbalances have risen by $223 billion sincethe fourth quarter of 2021." In fact, totalcredit card debt today is now $152 billionhigher than the last record reached in thefall of 2019.The Lendingtree analysis concludes byadding: "Thanks to record interest rates,stubborn inflation, and myriad other
economic factors, credit card balancesare likely only going to climb, at least inthe near future."LAKE ST.

98BUILTENVIRONMENTLEGISLATIONNATIONALFinal comments have been submittedregarding a proposed Department ofLabor rule designed to extend overtimeprotection to around 3.6 million workers.The proposal, announced last summer,would guarantee overtime pay forsalaried workers making less than $1,059a week, or roughly $55,000 annually.NEXT STEPANTICIPATED IN LABORDEPARTMENT'SOVERTIME RULEPROPOSALBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 11/27/2023Copyright: Canva ProIn airing the proposal, Jessica Looman,Labor Department wage and hourdivision administrator, remarked: “Fortoo long, many low-paid salaried workershave been denied overtime pay, eventhough they often work long hours andperform much the same work as theirhourly counterparts.”Continued Looman: “This proposed rulewould ensure that more workers receiveextra pay when they work long hours.”The proposed rule, officially calledDefining and Delimiting the Exemptionsfor Executive, Administrative,Professional, Outside Sales, andComputer Employees, would mandatethat low-paid salaried workers receiveprotections traditionally provided by theLabor Department.In the process, the rule wouldautomatically update the salarythreshold for such workers every threeyears in order to reflect current earningsdata.The proposal has generated muchindustry comment and heat. In filing aresponse, the American Builders andContractors called the proposal unlawfuland one that will ultimately hurt smallbusinesses. Continues >
99“There is no compelling reason for anadjustment to the minimum salarythreshold for exemption since it wasincreased roughly four years ago,” saidBen Brubeck, the vice president ofregulatory, labor and state affairs withABC.Brubeck additionally noted that thenation’s construction industry iscurrently challenged by “high materialsprices, inflationary pressures andworkforce shortages.” The new proposedLabor Department, said Brubeck, “willfurther complicate the current economicoutlook.”The proposal has also sparked theopposition of such groups as theAssociated General Contractors ofAmerica, the American BankersAssociation, and the American Road &Transportation Builders Association.At the same time, a group called theNational Employment Law Project haspointed to a study suggesting thatemployers have used false managerialtitles as a means to “misclassify millionsof workers as overtime exempt whoshould be receiving overtime.”According to sources, the LaborDepartment has received in excess of26,000 comments both for and againstthe overtime proposal. The agency is nowin the process of reviewing thosecomments before it issues a finaldetermination.President Joe Biden is creating a newcabinet-level council focused onsupply chain issues, with theinaugural meeting happening today,according to the White House.The Council on Supply ChainResilience will convene nearly everymember of the president’s cabinet,bringing together more than a dozenof the nation’s top federal officialsdirectly involved in industrial policy.The council will be co-chaired by theNational Security Advisor andNational Economic Advisor.Dive Brief:Continue reading >BUILTENVIRONMENTWHITE HOUSE CREATESCABINET-LEVEL SUPPLYCHAIN COUNCILBy Edwin Lopez, SupplyChainDive11/27/2023Copyright: Canva Pro

Lewandowski, University of Colorado Boulder to produce a flexiblebut simple economic model that calculates the impact on employment and output in each state from varioussizes of investment in different types of construction.The below link provides an explanation and instructions for using the model. The table below shows an example of the results obtainable from the model, in this case, the total instatejobs (construction, supplier and induced jobs throughout the state's economy) and total instate output from a$1 billion investment over one year in three types of construction: highways, nonresidential buildings, orother nonresidential structures (infrastructure).Users can choose from:In addition to total instate jobs and output, the model shows separately the impact on construction, supplierand induced jobs, output, and value added (or state gross domestic product, the amount of labor income andprofits added by the investment), and the 10 sectors that receive the most additional spending.To access AGC’s ConstructionImpact Tool click here.
