Multifamily starts rise 5% YOY for buildings with 5 or more units
This story was originally published on Multifamily Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Multifamily Dive newsletter. Starts for buildings with five or more units fell 30.4% month over month in May and rose 5% year over year to a seasonally adjusted rate of 316,000, according to a monthly report from HUD and the U.S. Census Bureau. At the end of May, 733,000 units were under construction, an 18.9% YOY drop and a 1.5% month-over-month decline. Multifamily developers finished an annualized 487,000 apartments in buildings with five or more units, a 6.7% YOY decline and a 0.2% month-over-month increase. Overall housing starts came in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.3 million in May — a 4.6% decrease YOY and a 9.8% drop versus April. Single-family home starts were at a rate of 924,000 homes, a 7.3% YOY decline and a 0.4% month-over-month increase. Apartment developers pulled permits for a seasonally adjusted rate of 444,000 apartments in buildings with five units or more, a 13% YOY increase and a 1.4% increase compared to April. The debt market isn't a significant hurdle as large developers plan new projects, according to Greg Bonifield, founding partner at Charleston, South Carolina-based apartment developer Woodfield Development. 'The debt markets are still very liquid,' Bonifield told Multifamily Dive. 'A multitude of debt lenders are anxious to deploy capital in the multifamily sector, and at what I consider to be attractive spreads.' Bonifield said that traditional banks, life companies and other institutional players are active and liquid in the space. 'You have seen numerous funds put together that are actively deploying debt, especially in the bridge loan area,' Bonifield said. 'Those are people wanting to put out money in the two- to five-year time frame for people that want to hold the assets before selling them or putting longer-term debt on.' However, equity continues to be an issue. 'On the equity side, it's very selective there,' Bonifield said. 'There absolutely is [limited partner] common equity available for new multifamily development.' But that equity is interested in well-located projects with strong sponsors. 'It is generally more available for very established development groups, but it's limited and strategic, and it's both domestic and foreign,' Bonifield said.

Newest Amazon facility on the Western Slope going in next to Montrose Regional Airport
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) – Construction has started for the latest Amazon facility on the Western Slope. A last-mile facility recently opened up near Grand Junction's regional airport and now, Montrose will soon have its own last-mile facility. The whole purpose of an Amazon last-mile facility is to make it easier to transport Amazon products to cities not near a major hub, like Denver, which is why the location next to a regional airport is ideal, because those airports serve the same purpose. Amazon bought the nearly 7.8-Acre plot of land from the Montrose Economic Development Corporation for almost 2.2 million dollars back in late March, but construction is finally underway. The project will bring both full-time and part-time job opportunities to the Montrose area. The buyer of the site was a secret until after the agreement was made due to confidentiality provisions in the contract. And while it's not a massive fulfillment center like you'd see over in Denver, these last-mile facilities serve just about the same purpose for mid-sized communities like we see here on the Western Slope.

Will Robots Reflect a Nation's Character?
This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, an android-filled anthology of Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. Sign up here. In his latest column, Matthew Brooker laments the state of the UK robot industry. Even as the Labour government struggles to keep its promise to build 1.5 million homes in the next five years, a lack of workers both human and humanoid slows things down. There are non-human workers, some of whom — don't tell the Brexit part of the electorate — are distinctly foreign. Says Matthew: 'A construction automaton developed by Switzerland's Schindler Holding AG was deployed in the UK for the first time at a net-zero office building in central London.' In another part of the city, a robotic arm created by ABB Ltd., a UK company, 'is being used to cut and assemble timber-frame panels for sustainable homes below a railway line in an area that was once home to taxi-maintenance yards.' Otherwise, the British robot sector is far from what the industry is like in the US, Germany and Japan, much less global leader China.
