| Annual customer service surveys inspire new initiatives
It is that time of year again! In March and April, Manco Abbott will survey more than 6,000 customers to assess our level of service. Owners, brokers, residents, tenants and employees will have the opportunity to provide essential feedback about our company's ability to raise the standards where people live, work and play. Last year`s feedback inspired residential move-in system improvements, internal and external communication channel enhancements, introduction of additional convenience features for multifamily residents and the hosting of a nationally-recognized real estate analyst, Christopher Lee, to overview emerging real estate opportunities. Customer feedback surveys are important to our success and your satisfaction. We look forward to your participation. Results will be communicated in May.

Big-name developers, investors boomerang
back into condos By Randyl Drummer, Senior News Editor at CoStar Group Inc.
For six long years following the burst housing bubble and subsequent recession, residential condominium sales remained in a deep freeze. However, late last year, condo investment sales quietly began to recover in gateway markets such as Boston, San Francisco and New York.

Eight retailers that will close the most stores
By Douglas A. McIntyre, Samuel Weigley, Alexander E.M. Hess, and Michael B. Sauter
It is the time of year again, when America's largest retailers release those critical holiday season figures and disclose their annual sales. A review of these numbers tells us a great deal about how most of the companies will do in the upcoming year. And while successful retailers in 2012 may add stores this year, those that have performed very poorly may have to cut locations during 2013 to improve margins or reverse losses. For many retailers, the sales situation is so bad that it is not a question of whether they will cut stores, but when and how many.

Lease rate too high? Check back later
By Sharon Stangenes, Special to the Tribune
As apartment living has soared in popularity in recent years, the competition for highly desirable units in good buildings and neighborhoods has become so intense that a growing number of large owners and management companies are adopting computerized pricing similar to those used by airlines and hotels. Called dynamic pricing or sometimes the trademarked LRO for "lease rent options," rent is determined by data-crunching computer software, calculating in factors
such as size and location of the apartment, how long it has been unoccupied, turnover costs, current demand and the going rate for similar units in a given geographic area.

U.S. shopping centers strengthened their net operating income last year by cutting expenses and growing sales, according to data from ICSC and the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries.

"Retail was the best performing property type in the NCREIF index for the fourth quarter and the year," said Jeffrey R. Havsy, NCREIF's research director.
