Things are changing for Office & Industrial for 2024... Some thoughts
**One Intern in 2023 - The Exceptional Kennedy Gamble 🌟** In a challenging market year, JLL nationally selected just one intern. This decision wasn’t about cutting costs. It was about finding someone who could not only excel on paper but truly stand out in the market. Enter Kennedy Gamble: A blend of academic excellence from Stanford and Rice, coupled with top-tier track and field prowess. While her accolades are immense, what struck me most was her character: her poise, her genuine kindness, and her radiant positivity. Qualities you can't necessarily acquire from an Ivy-league or any university. My chat with Kennedy was my third interview to date, and her approach to her career resonated deeply. She likens her career path to running a race — and in the commission-based sales world, it's a winner-takes-all scenario. No second place. Kennedy, with her drive and resilience, is all set to lead the race. I wholeheartedly believe that character, above all, determines one's trajectory in life. And as a father, it's these attributes I hope to instill in my children. Kennedy exemplifies this. Stanford, Rice, and above all, her parents have every reason to beam with pride. Kennedy, we eagerly await the milestones you’re bound to achieve at JLL! Interested in JLL opportunities or curious about our industry? This exceptional story of Kennedy inspired you, didn’t it? Drop me a message, and let's chat!

Behind closed doors, experts are advising office buildings owners to get out know if they can. 700 Louisiana (a skyscraper in Downtown Houston) is currently in default and this is just the tip of the iceburg. Here is a one minute recap, but I am preparing to go into much more detail in future videos. This is going to be a huge opportunity for tenants looking for office space in the Houston market.

As a top executive recruit out of college, now a Senior VP in Commercial Real Estate, I look back at the Not So Good Old Days of my first corporate job. This place had wonderful people, but the workplace dynamics of the place really pushed alot of talent away from the company (including myself) and eventually the company went out of business.

The Fed's Rate Hike is going to profoundly impact the market, much like Mike Tyson would profoundly impact your face if you got into a fight. The office market didn't need another blow like this! What this is gonna provide for tenants is more volatility and more opportunity. So let's talk about how it's gonna impact the market. Liquidity within the office sector has been impaired as banks seek to reduce their exposure to the sector. Restricting landlord's ability to obtain financing as loans on office properties come due. Owners may have insufficient income to refinance at today's higher rates and may be forced into foreclosure subordination, non disturbance and attor agreements will be essential for tenants in buildings that are financially vulnerable. Now, this cannot be overstated. Much of Houston's inventory is gonna be the older class A, class B, class C product. If they don't get financing, they may lose their property.
