From Bruce Bossow's Desk -
Premier Website Revamped  
Every modern business is expected to have a functional, user-friendly website these days. Ours had grown stale and reportedly not so easy to navigate. so we hired a marketing firm that also did website design work, and restructured our website at www.premier-comm.com (this is the same address, however!)

Our staff of Jean, Erin and Debbie loaded in approximately 290 listings, which are now much easier to find than with the previous website. Leads are already starting to flow in from the "contact us" tab. We hope soon to have our "blog" tab up and running.

I would appreciate it if you would log on to our website and kindly give us your opinions on how it is to navigate. If you find our website lacking in any type of information you would like to see, please let me know.

RETAIL RECOVERY LOSING MOMENTUM EVEN BEFORE DOMINICK'S DEPARTURE 
ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com

The local retail real estate market is showing signs of stalling, as landlords here start to grapple with the loss of the Dominick's grocery chain.

 

The retail vacancy rate ticked up to 8.9 percent in the third quarter, compared to 8.8 percent in the second quarter and 8.6 percent at the beginning of the year, according to a report by commercial real estate brokerage CBRE Inc.

 

It's the first time since 2009 that the rate has increased in consecutive quarters. The vacancy rate was 8.7 percent in third-quarter 2012.


 
IS AN LLC THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR MY COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT?  
Randolph Taylor, Coldwell Banker Commercial

Protecting personal assets is often a matter of great concern for new commercial real estate investors. When forming an entity, more real property investors are now using limited liability companies (LLCs) to protect their personal assets. The LLC is a newer form of business entity and it has benefits that corporations and partnerships lack.

 

Limited Liability
"One major advantage of an LLC over a partnership is that the liability of the members of an LLC can be limited to their financial investment," said Jack Rose, Chief Strategist at Breakwater Equity Partners. "So if the worst happens, the most the owners can lose are the assets being held by the LLC." In some partnerships, an owner's personal assets or properties might not be protected. When a lawsuit or a bankruptcy or foreclosure arises, the owner's personal property could be at risk.

Q3 PRELIMINARY TRENDS 
Reis Reports

On November 1st, ReisReports will publish new quarterly market reports for Q3 2013. Until then, here's a preliminary look at national trends across the Apartment, Office, and Retail sectors. (continued)

Apartment Sector Trends
Apartment sector vacancy declined by 10 basis points during the third quarter to 4.2%. The simple fact that vacancy continues to compress despite such low vacancy rates speaks volumes about the ongoing demand for apartments. (continued)

Office Sector Trends
Vacancies declined by 10 basis points during the third quarter to 16.9%. With the labor markets ongoing struggles to create office-using jobs, demand for space remains muted.

Retail Sector Trends
Vacancies for neighborhood and community shopping centers now stand at 10.5%, down 30 basis points year over year, and just a paltry 60 basis points below the peak vacancy rate of 11.1%. By any measure, this is a weak recovery. (continued)
