  • Predicting Long-Term Trends & Market Cycles in Commercial Real Estate
    PREDICTING LONG-TERM TRENDS & MARKET CYCLES IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE by Glenn R. Mueller Working Paper #388 10/24/01 Land, together with labor and capital, is one of the three major factors of production. As population grows, additional people need places to work, sleep, eat, shop and be entertained. Historically the supply of buildings to meet these needs has been “lumpy,” with too little space available during times of rapid growth and too much supply when growth slows This lag between demand growth and supply response is the major cause of volatility in real estate market cycles. Real estate cycles can be separated into four distinct phases based upon the rate of change in both demand and supply. Figure 1 depicts the market cycle in terms of occupancy rates. Occupancy is the difference between total supply (including newly constructed space) and effective demand as measured by absorption. Markets are defined as having two up-cycles (recovery and expansion) when demand growth rates are higher than supply growth rates, and two down-cycles (hypersupply and recession) when demand Figure 1 1 Phase 2 - Expansion M ar ket Cycle Quadr ants Long Term Occupancy Average Occupancy Demand/Supply Equilibrium Point D eclining Vacancy Phase 3 - Hypersupply Declining Vacancy No New N Phase 1 - Recovery Construct New Construction e ion w C I V n o a c n c r s a t e r nc a u s growth rates are lower than supply growth rates. In reality, markets always have either c i y t ng i o M n demand growing faster than supply or supply growing faster than demand.

Chairs Nishihara and Wakai, Vice Chairs Wakai and Taniguchi, and members of the Committee. The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) supports SB154 which authorizes the use of fireworks for film and theatrical productions and for testing, disposal, and destruction of illegal or unwanted fireworks by law enforcement. This bill would allow film productions to use consumer fireworks, aerial devices, display fireworks or articles pyrotechnics during a special effects scene in a safe and monitored environment by allowing film productions an exemption to the General Prohibitions in §132D-5. The film industry often utilizes pyrotechnics as part of special effects and stunts. When Legendary Entertainment filmed Godzilla vs. Kong and Universal Pictures produced Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in Hawaii - pyrotechnics was an essential part of the making of both films. The ongoing TV Series Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum P.I. often use pyrotechnics – creating an exciting array of action packed story telling. These and other productions do these operations precisely and carefully to ensure the safety of the public, crew and cast.
