2012

Posted on December 21, 2011 by Tom Hanacek

A good friend in the business of commercial lending scared the stuffing out of me by predicting an eventual bank collapse in Europe. Whether or not this occurs, Europeans are shifting money from European banks to the US for safety. Specifically, they are buying our buying our bonds; hence our low interest rates. Kind of a QE3 of sorts without having to print dollars.

My feeling is that this trend will continue into 2012 and some of the European money will find its way into our improving commercial real estate market as they seek something better than a 1.9% return that the 10-year currently offers.

Barring some major geopolitical problem (in addition to the European Banking Crisis), I am bullish on the commercial real estate market heading into 2012.

Posted on August 10, 2011 by Tom Hanacek

Even though I have nearly 27 years of commercial real estate accomplishments , it is still very gratifying to be endorsed, especially by a peer.

“If you are looking for help with your client’s in need of a commercial broker, feel confident in referring them to Tom Hanacek and his team. My clients raved about how easy it was to work with Tom. When their 1st choice of locations didn’t work out, Tom’s team was able to quickly find them a new location, that worked out even better. It’s so great to have such an excellent team.”

The Pointe at Woodburn (40,000 SF Outlet Center)

Posted on May 16, 2011 by Tom Hanacek

At the Main Entrance to the Woodburn Company Stores

I have been retained to lease The Pointe at Woodburn a new factory outlet center located at the main entrance to the Woodburn Company Stores. Approximately 95%, or more, of all customer encounter The Pointe at Woodburn while driving into and exiting the Woodburn Company Stores.

Besides the superior location, The Pointe at Woodburn offers fantastic exposure and visibility that is reserved for just a few tenants at the Woodburn Company Stores. No only can we offer outlet tenants great exposure but we will offer base rents that will be less than the Woodburn Company Stores. And, our extra charges alone will be an estimated $3-$4/Sf/YR less.

This is a great opportunity to trade off of one of the best outlet centers on the West Coast.
