Hello,
The commercial real estate market has been notably impacted by the prevailing macroeconomic conditions. As inflationary pressures ease and the tight labor market shows signs of stabilization, the likelihood of an economic soft landing has increased. This scenario is particularly favorable for commercial real estate, as it is expected to enhance multifamily demand fundamentals and potentially lower interest rates. As the market dynamics shift, we are poised to seize emerging opportunities while continuing our capital raising efforts.
All my best,
Gerardo Gutierrez
CEO DDelta REI
“The U.S. multifamily market continued a strong rebound in demand during the second quarter of 2024, with 170,000 units absorbed, the highest number since the third quarter of 2021. And while 180,000 new units were delivered in the last quarter, this was the smallest supply-demand gap in 11 quarters.” – CoStar.
Quarterly Highlights
- We are committed to creating a positive impact in our communities. Our team, along with our sponsor volunteered for Community First Village, a community that provides affordable and permanent housing to people coming out from chronic homelessness.
- We continue hitting key milestones with properties under construction. Framing is complete at The Everett, Junewood has received electric meters, and owner walks have started at Lookout as we prepare for our first deliveries.
- Rental rates for our properties on the market have consistently surpassed our initial expectations, averaging 6.25% higher during the second quarter of the year.
Company Update
- We have made significant progress in our ESG strategy by completing an ESG Due Diligence questionnaire for both existing and potential development partners and operators.
- We attended the Toigo NYC Gala in May and enjoyed connecting with different leaders supporting initiatives for diverse leadership in finance.
- We look forward to attending the NYC GCM Consortium in November, viewing it as an excellent opportunity to network and build strong relationships with new partners. If you are planning to attend, we would like to connect with you.
Insights – A Short Window of Opportunity
- Current interest rate dynamics and market factors have expanded cap rates by more than 25% in DDelta’s active markets since the Fed started raising rates in 2022, as of Q2-2024.
- With interest rates anticipated to decrease later this year and through 2025, cap rates are expected to compress with some lag, starting in the latter half of next year.
- This may present a significant but brief window to acquire properties at favorable prices before cap rates compress due to improving fundamentals and lower rates.
- DDelta continues to identify opportunities 15%-20% below replacement cost, a margin that may not last based on the expected dynamics, as shown in the graph below.
- Investing within the next 10 months positions investors to leverage the anticipated market shift, potentially achieving meaningful gains as valuations rise due to these dynamics.
