One Abandoned NYC Block Is "Frozen" In Peak-Pandemic Time Life in most places is making an attempt to move forward from the pandemic lockdowns. But for one city block in New York, that isn''t the case. Outside of the 59th Street subway stop, across Lexington Avenue, Bloomberg writes you can still find an entire block "frozen" in peak-pandemic time. The area, which used to be prime New York real estate, was formerly the home of Banana Republic, the Gap and Victoria''s Secret. Now, all people see are signs trying to find tenants for the empty buildings. Steve Soutendijk, an executive managing director at Cushman & Wakefield, told Bloomberg: “It’s probably the slowest market to return to pre-Covid levels out of any in New York City. It’s a little bit of a mystery.” This block is a microcosm of how slow the city has been to recover, post-lockdowns, the report says. It was also suffering heading into Covid, with ridership exiting at 59th Street "declining for years" and businesses starting to select other parts of the city in favor of occupying the block.
Shares of commercial real estate brokers have underperformed the real estate investment trust (REIT) and the broader stock market by a wide margin this year, and they could remain "choppy" in the coming months, but JPMorgan analyst Anthony Paolone said "a lot of the damage appears to be done." Shares of CBRE Group Inc. have dropped 29.7% year to date, Cushman & Wakefield PLC have slumped 30.9% and Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. have tumbled 34.4%, while the SPDR Real Estate Select Sector ETF has declined 19.7% and the S&P 500 has lost 18.3%. Paolone said the CRE brokers have been hurt, as rising interest rates have put damped capital market activity, especially selling CRE assets, just as year-over-year financial comparisons are getting increasingly difficult, and amid increasing signs of re-trading of deals. However, he said this year''s stock declines are already "pretty well explained" by those concerns. So for investors who can stomach some volatility near term, he said the CRE services sector is "attractive," with "very strong" balance sheets, and should reward investors. "We still believe that the market share opportunity and increased diversification of the businesses lines for the largest firms in the sector are secular tailwinds that should drive growth," Paolone wrote in a note to clients.
