Let's go down to Brazil. Let's 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: talk about the Brazilian and the South American airlines business. 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: To do that, we welcome Richard Lark. Richard's a CFO 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: of Goal Airlines. It's the largest airline within Brazil in 11 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: terms of market share. Richard, thanks so much for joining 12 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: us here on our Bloomberg Interactive Brooker Studio. First of all, 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: just give us a sense of kind of what Goal 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: Airlines is, how big you are, kind of what your 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: market is, and how the businesses is trending there. We're 16 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: the largest domestic in Brazil, about seven or fifty flights 17 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: a day to over a hundred destinations. About eight percent 18 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: of our business is within domestic Brazil and about our 19 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: destinations to the majority of South American countries and uh, 20 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 1: the state of Florida. All right, So when I think 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: about South America right now, I think about what's going 22 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: on in Chile, which is disrupting the economy dramatically, Argentina, 23 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: which potentially is on the break of default. We've seen 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: some issues in in Bolivia and in other regions. How 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: much is that affecting your business? Yeah, we we have 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: US about half of our international revenues are O and 27 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: D s between Brazil and Argentina. UM that was doing 28 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: very well until about a year ago. That has suffered 29 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: a lot because of what's been going on economically and 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: the reduction and purchasing power with the Argentinees. We have 31 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: a small portion of our business in Chile, and we 32 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: we've also seen UH disruptions. They are primarily because of 33 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: the protests, not because of economic but because of the 34 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: protests and people being um afraid of getting stuck in airports, 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: and we've seen that also affect other airlines in Chile. 36 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: So within Brazil. Just gives a sense of how the 37 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: Brazilian UH airline business differs from that in the US. Well, UH, 38 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: I would say a couple of points. Structurally, generally, it's 39 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: a shorter haul for our average flight in Brazil's about 40 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: an hour in ten minutes. About sixty five percent of 41 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: our consumers are traveling for business purposes, so they tend 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: to be more price and elastic customer. UM. So we're 43 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: about you know, six business thtcent. Leisure with the US 44 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: is the opposite of that. We're in the US, you 45 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: have much more price sensitive passenger. And what that means 46 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: is that in Brazil the customer is much more demanding 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: in terms of the product. And you know, for example, 48 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Goal UH from two thousand thirteen to two thousand eighteen, 49 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: over that five year period, we invested around two fifty 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: million dollars in UM what today is the most attractive 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: product for the business customer, which goes from everything to 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: the network of the punctuality as well as the customer experience. 53 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: Were the only company in Brazil it has UH onboard 54 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: WiFi and all of our aircraft. And so what that 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: means I think versus the US, the Brazilian customer is 56 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: much more demanding UH in terms of the product than 57 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: you might find in the US. It just occurred to 58 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: me that they could make UH you know, business in 59 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: the front, party in the back actually means a thing 60 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: different anyway, I digress moving right along the shares of 61 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: goal up more year to date. Back at the end 62 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: of last year, you completed an eighteen month restructuring and 63 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: had to recreate the business going forward, And I'm just wondering, generally, 64 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: at a time when the consumer is strong, what's been 65 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: your pitch, UH, to sort of get business back up 66 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: and running. What's the key to success given the competitive 67 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: environment in airlines right now? Well on the consumer side, UH, 68 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: it's been um for us in Brazil, especially given the 69 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: economic contraction that happened in fifteen sixteen, being able to 70 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: offer to the business customer the best product in the market. 71 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: Right now, we're starting to shift our focus a bit 72 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: to the non business to the leisure side, which is 73 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: much more fair sensitive. But the key to our success 74 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: over this last part of the cycle UM, which has 75 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: been UH a down part of the cycle, has been 76 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: our our focus on the business customer. What's year One 77 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: of the things we talked about the airline is one 78 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: of the big issues that we talked about is just 79 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: kind of the bowing the seven thirty seven max. What's 80 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: your exposure there and how are you kind of dealing 81 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: with kind of the grounding of this aircraft. Yeah right, 82 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: it's uh. We when the Max was grounded, we had 83 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: seven aircraft that were immediately grounded. Uh this year. We 84 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: would have had delivery of another twenty four this year. 85 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: Uh So as of the fourth quarter this year, it's 86 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: started to have a more significant impact on our business financially, 87 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: which is baked into our numbers. But we are we 88 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: are in discussions with Boeing on what kind of conversation 89 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna receive we're gonna receive from that. But our 90 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: ability this year to deliver on our guidance in spite 91 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: of what's been happening to Max has been a result of, 92 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, the leadership of our CEO kacking Off, combined 93 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: with power high flexibility on the fleet manage inside, which 94 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: has allowed us to resource aircraft to cover our fleet needs. 95 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: With the problems we've had this year, we effectively had 96 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: to INTR year resource and additional forty aircraft uh inside 97 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: of our jet right Max and also the pickle fork 98 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: issue that affected some of the older versions of the 99 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: n g's and we have to be extremely flexible and 100 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: effectively resource about one third of our fleet needs INTR year. Yeah, 101 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: just quickly here. Since the restructuring, you are rated in 102 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: the B credit tire by the credit rating companies. I'm 103 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: wondering going forward, you've said you want to restore the 104 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: double B rating. When do you think you can do that? 105 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: In half? The second quarter of next year is our target. 106 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: We planned the second quarter next year to amortize around 107 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: another four and a million dollars of debt of gross debt, 108 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: which should be enough to push us back above into 109 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: the double B category. But does it take away from 110 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: the ability to spend elsewhere that you need to know, 111 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: We've already got that cash reserved on the balance sheet. 112 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: This year we topped it up with with a very 113 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: successful convertible bond offering, so we already got about a 114 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: billion dollars of liquidit on the balance sheet. We use 115 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: about that to UH to advertise this that in the 116 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: second quarter of next year. How many times you've been 117 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: to Carnival um Nonethe less ten years, but in my 118 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: earlier days so many times.

I will 122 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: say I actually lived in in Chile back, you know, 123 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: a while back, and uh, you know, I went to 124 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: Brazil and Portuguese. When you read it, it looks very 125 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: similar in practice. Forget it anyway, it was, it was. 126 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: It was a very enjoyable trip. Thank you so much 127 00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: for being with us. Well, we've talked a lot about 128 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: the softening in values in certain coastal cities in the 129 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: real estate market, both on the commercial side as well 130 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: as the residential side. To pass through what we're seeing 131 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: and what we can expect going forward. We're so glad 132 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: to have with us here at Andrea Oshan. She's chief 133 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: executive officer of Ocean Properties. She's joining us from Burdens 134 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: twenty nine real Estate Industry Executive Forum. Andrea, can you 135 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: give us a sense right now as you look at 136 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: the national landscape, are you more worried about the coastal 137 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: cities right now or some of the secondary and tertiary 138 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: cities that a lot of people are going to to 139 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: invest I definitely I am worrying about the secondary in 140 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: tertiary cities much more than the coast. I think the 141 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: coasts have really good fundamentals in terms of people moving 142 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: in UH in terms of job growth, in terms of UM, 143 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: business growth and business development, I think where you're seeing 144 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: UM a lot of distress is in the secondary intertiary 145 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: markets where it's UM. It's very hard to get labor UM. 146 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: The rates are very high. UH, there's a lot of 147 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: oversupply in the retail market, and there doesn't seem to 148 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: be a lot of fundamental job growth to help either 149 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: take the burden off of the wage rates for hiring 150 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: or to UM really spur any sort of business development 151 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: that would help fill whether it's repositioning a vacant retail 152 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: UH fill UM office B and C office UM in 153 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: the suburbs UH and even BNC garden style. Well centially, 154 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: we had a lot of retail companies report earnings today 155 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: and some some week earnings and we've seen grown accustomed 156 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: to in that retail segment as Amazon takes over the 157 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: retail business. Give us a sense of that part of 158 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: the market that commercial retail space. Are our malls just 159 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: going out of business? If so, what do you with 160 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: a space? And is there any way to make money 161 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: on that side of the business. Yeah, I think listen, 162 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: I think they're the good malls are really good, and 163 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: I think people do want to be in brick and mortar, 164 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: and you're seeing a lot of clicks to bricks retailers 165 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: um Warby Parker being the most obvious, but you see 166 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: it with Casper or Jenny Cain Um or different retailers 167 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: and and both high end and throughout the spectrum mid market. 168 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: And these retailers are very sophisticated. They have data. So 169 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: it used to be that when you leased a space, 170 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: it was all based on the retailer's projections and you're 171 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: you're arguing the demographics of the neighborhood and they're arguing 172 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: their projections, and the truth is it was really a 173 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: crystal ball or a wet finger in the air. And 174 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: now because they sell so much online and it's so omnichannel, 175 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: they really understand where they want to be and they 176 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: already know they're going to do well somewhere when they 177 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: get there. UM. So I think for those locations they 178 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: have a high degree of conviction um and you you're 179 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: able to to sign leases. It's in all the other 180 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: places is that are more marginal or where distribution networks 181 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: make it such that it's not worth it to rent 182 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: a space and commit to the staffing and the training 183 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: and the build out and all that. Where you see 184 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: retailers say, you know, one one store in this market 185 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: is enough. So I always give the example of Dayton 186 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 1: used to be a three store market for the gap 187 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: and each gap store was ten thousand square feet. Well, now, 188 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: there's no reason to have a three store market, and 189 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: they did. They closed two out of the three, so 190 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: they have one market. They have one store in the market. 191 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: It's not paying very much rent, but you don't need 192 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: to have three stores for people to know what a 193 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: gap item is and they're able to shop online and 194 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: if they want to go in store they can. Where 195 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: are we in the housing market cycle. That's a really 196 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: good question. I think that um, I think we are. 197 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: We've already hit peak and we're starting the decline. I 198 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: think there's a real fundamental shift to long term rental, 199 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: and I think that that's where it used to be 200 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 1: that as a market picked up, rental was always seen 201 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: as transitional, and I actually see rental now as more 202 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: long term stable, and you're seeing a lot of people 203 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: do single family rentals. So what does that mean in 204 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: terms of how much values are going to depreciate? I 205 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: don't know that they are. I I what I'm hoping 206 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: and and is that it actually slows the development of 207 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: more for sale housing. And I think that in New 208 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: York we're seeing really an oversupply problem in terms of 209 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: softening prices um and has that worked itself through yet 210 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: or not yet? Not even close? And I think the 211 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: low interest rates are part of the problem. So you 212 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: have developers who have extremely low interest rate loans and 213 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: they're able to sit on product and still service their debt. 214 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: So they're waiting for price because either their investment structure 215 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: demands it um or they just want to come out 216 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: of the deal, and so they're willing to hold on 217 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: um while interest rates remain low. And so it hasn't 218 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: really forced that to to flush out yet. On the 219 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: commercial side, is a capital available for development or the 220 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: banks still looking favorably on commercial real estate? Yeah, I 221 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: think there's capital in every piece of the of the 222 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: cap stack. There's a ton of private equity money. I 223 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: think that's one of the big reasons why what we're 224 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: seeing is that is this continued divergence between fundamentals and 225 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: pricing because there's just so much cash chasing deals with 226 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: low interest rates, and they're willing to just take the scrape. Um. 227 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: There's banks are still lending um. Maybe they're not going 228 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: as high in the cap stack, but that's okay because 229 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: there are tons of mes funds and preferred equity funds, 230 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: and we're even playing more in the preferred equity field 231 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: um than we are in the equity because I'd rather 232 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: be in a more secure place in the cap stack 233 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: and be getting better returns. So you said that we're 234 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: not even closed to working through the supply glob that 235 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: you're seeing in New York City, for example, and yet 236 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: you're still more worried about the secondary and tertiary cities 237 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: where places like Goldman Sacks Uh their merchant bank is 238 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: seeing opportunities. Can you square those ideas? Yeah? No, I 239 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: think listen, I think there are one or two areas 240 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: that people are investing in which are sort of the 241 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: good suburbs, if you will, which have some good fundamental 242 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: as you're seeing, you know, whether it's Memphis or Nashville 243 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: or right, some of these Atlanta you're seeing investment. You're 244 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 1: not seeing this in you know, Spokane or um in Glendive, Montana. Right, 245 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: You're not seeing these these cities where it's across the 246 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: board um and they're they're building, you know, multi family 247 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: or investing in multi family because of of what I 248 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: spoke about with the rental fundamentals, the super high end 249 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: condos that were built assuming that tons of Chinese capital 250 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: or other foreign capital was going to come in and 251 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: buy them at any price to park cash. I think 252 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: those are those are challenged because they weren't needed um 253 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: and so I think that's where we're going to see 254 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: some softening. And the truth is, should condos bets of foot? 255 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: Should Should it look like a deal when it's twelve 256 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: dollars a foot to buy to buy an apartment? I 257 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: don't think so, right? I mean, I think I think 258 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: the pricing has gotten so out of control. Will it 259 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: sell at a price like this is what we're talking 260 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: about about New York and and why New York is 261 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: so robust. In New York, it'll sell or it'll rent 262 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: at a price because there's constant demand, whereas in other 263 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: places you're just trying to beg people to move from 264 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: one garden style unit to another garden style unit, and 265 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: all you can compete on is concessions and pricing. But 266 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: you're not going to get them for more than a year. Andrea, 267 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: thank you so much. We appreciate you coming in to 268 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: share your thoughts. Andrea Allshan, CEO of Allshan Properties. She's 269 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: appearing today at the Burdens nineteen Real Estate Industry Executive 270 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: Form being held here at Bloomberg's HQ in New York. 271 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: Right now, we want to turn to real say Jennifer 272 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: Mclaim joining us here at chief financial officer for kushn 273 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: Our Companies, focusing mostly on multi family UH properties. Correct, Yes, 274 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: all right, so we just heard that there it does 275 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: seem to be a glut of the high end UH 276 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: condos in coastal cities. We know this, This has been 277 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: going on for a while and that pain could deepen. 278 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: So a lot of people have changed their sites to 279 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: the secondary cities. Do you also see that as the 280 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: place to be Yes. In fact, um, we've concentrated a 281 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: lot of our acquisition efforts outside of New York. We've 282 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: expanded this psyere into other markets including Maryland, Virginia, and Florida. 283 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: We just see the opportunity there with some of those 284 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: garden style UM apartments. Are you doing developing new properties 285 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: or buying existing properties. We're we're looking obviously on the 286 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: acquisition side, every opportunity we can get. But the challenges 287 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: supply there's not a lot of supply there. There's a 288 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: lot of money chasing deals. Uh. So our development efforts 289 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: have ramped up here the last year. We're going to 290 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: be developing close to six thousand units probably over the 291 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: next twenty four months. So how do you gauge whether 292 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: there is a ripe opportunity given the fact that those 293 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: areas tend to get hit if there is a big 294 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: employer that pulls out right, I mean, we and nothing's uh, 295 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, nothing's ever sure, but we we do a 296 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: lot of due diligence upfront in terms of uh, you know, 297 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: studying the geographics of the area. A lot of work 298 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: goes into the analytics in terms of analyzing the deals 299 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: up front. Um. You know, we historically have have focused 300 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: on specific yields within different markets. We're a little bit 301 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: lighter now on our yields just because there isn't the 302 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: product there. Um what does that mean? Uh? The yields, 303 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: your return on your your returns and your the return 304 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: on investment is coming down a bit just because slightly 305 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: just the rents coming down and softening A no, not 306 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: the rent is just the opportunities and the supply isn't there, 307 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: So it's driving pricing up in the market. So it 308 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: give us a sense of competition. You mentioned it is 309 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: getting competitive on the acquisition front. Who do you who 310 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: do you find you typically run into in terms of competition, Yeah, 311 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: we're um, we're looking at the larger deals now. Um. 312 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: The most recent acquisition was a little over a billion 313 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: dollars about six thousand units, So you know we're kind 314 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: of in that area, um, right now, So there's a 315 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: there's a handful of individuals that we compete with that 316 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: similar size. About private equity, because I see the Blackstones 317 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: of the world raising money left and right in these 318 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: huge real estate funds start did they come and play 319 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: in your space? Yes, definitely. There's a lot of private 320 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: equity funds available right now. So that definitely is competition 321 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: in terms of our ability to get product. How how 322 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: much lower do you think returns will go? I mean, 323 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: just given the fact that how much more can you 324 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: boot this cycle? Yeah? Well, I mean we we've got 325 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: a threshold obviously. Um, I've seen the cash on kish 326 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: returns drop a little bit, but we're not We're still 327 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: smart investors. You know, we're not going to invest in 328 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: something that's a high level of risk or that we're 329 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: not guaranteed a minimum return on that investment. How do 330 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: you typically ideally like to structure your deals from a 331 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: capital perspective, debt versus your equity, versus maybe some preferred 332 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: equity and so on. Yeah, so obviously we take equity. 333 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: We've got skin in the game every single deal. Um 334 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, with the interest rates, you know, the borrowing 335 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: is very attractive right now. Um So, we we've structured 336 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: our capital stack a couple of different ways over the 337 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: last eighteen months. We've got mas dat, We've got preferred equity. 338 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: Most of our recent deals there's a preferred equity piece. 339 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us. I really 340 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: appreciate it.

We are 344 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: talking real estated is the Burdens Real Estate Industry Executive Forum. 345 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: We're joined now by Richard Ruben, CEO of Ruben Companies, Richard, 346 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Pleasure tell us where 347 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: you guys play in the greater real estate investment asset class? Right? 348 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: Uh So, Traditionally we have been office developers on the 349 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: East Coast in New York, Boston, and Washington. Uh. Lately 350 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: we've been downsizing a little on our office assets and 351 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: we've been focusing on multi family development, UM, primarily in 352 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: Washington and a little bit of Miami. But but but 353 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: we focus mostly on the East coast. Why are you downsizing? Uh? Good, 354 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: good question. Um. A lot of our office properties are 355 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: we call our legacy assets built in the sixties and seventies. 356 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: They're very capital intensive, so they require a lot of 357 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: capital to to upgrade them to be to be modern, modern, 358 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: contemporary office space like you see tenants like Facebook moving 359 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: to new buildings and black Rock and moving to hud 360 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: seniords very expensive to upgrade these buildings to be modern 361 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: office space. And after you've owned them for um, you know, 362 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: thirty forty years, it was time to put let someone 363 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: else put in that capital and take on the task 364 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: of upgrading them. So what's the area of the market 365 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: that you guys think as much attractive right now? Uh well, 366 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: right right now, we're not really pursuing equity investments as 367 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: much as we are trying to move up up a 368 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: little and seniority in the in the capital stack doing 369 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: preferred equity and mezzanine investing prices are prices have come 370 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: down a little from their peak, I think they I 371 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: think asset prices peaked probably two or three years ago, um, 372 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: but they're still pretty high because interest rates are low, 373 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: and there's uh tons of capital that want to come 374 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: here and take advantage of the interest rates heads between 375 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: US interest rates and say European Asian interest rates, and 376 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: also take care of take advantage of the political safety 377 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: of having the capital here. So between the flood of 378 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: of capital and low interest rates, it's still a very 379 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: hard time to find good equity investments in the US. 380 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: When you say that prices have come down a little bit, 381 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: I'm also thinking about actually commercial real estate rents in 382 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 1: places like Boston recently coming down, or at least demand 383 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: coming down for at leasing properties. Things that are starting 384 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: to cool in a material way. And I'm wondering how 385 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: far along in that are we. Uh yeah, I'd say 386 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: it's much more. It's much more of a supply issue 387 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: in most of these markets than it is a demand issue. UH. 388 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: There's there's demand in in um in UH. In Boston 389 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: and New York, there's plenty demand, but it's also a 390 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: ton of supply. There's a lot, as I said, a 391 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: lot of new building and Hutson Yards and Brookfield just 392 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: to the east of Hutson Yards, renovation of existing up 393 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: of inventory up and down Sixth Avenue at Third Avenue. 394 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot of supply and that's effect the market. 395 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: Also in multi family up and down the East Coast 396 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: with a possible exception of rental properties in New York, 397 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: but in in Boston and Philadelphia and Washington and Miami, 398 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: plenty of supply of of of new uh new multifamily 399 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: properties and that's having an impact on the market. How 400 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: much of your activity now is actually developing properties versus 401 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: simply investing in existing properties and existing capital start right, 402 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: The returns are still much better in in development and development. 403 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: You can you can still UH develop a property. It's 404 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: it's much risk here. It's much more time consuming. You've 405 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: gotta pay really close attention. Lots of things can go wrong, 406 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: But but the returns are greater than in buying existing 407 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: existing properties. So what's your highest conviction I don't want 408 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: to say trade right now, but investment right now? Highest 409 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: eviction highest conviction investment I would say, would be uh, 410 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: preferred equity or mezzanine on developed on multifamily development deals 411 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: where uh, well, we know the East Coast, so I 412 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: would say up and down the East Coast, although we've 413 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: been looking you other other parts of the country as well. 414 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: So how do you think about that? Because obviously the 415 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: East Coast um has a certain economic vibe to it, 416 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: very different. I would guess if you go, you know, 417 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: away from the coast, but probably better value there. Maybe 418 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: how do you kind of weigh those two things? You 419 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: know what? Because because I grew up in New York 420 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: and because I'm basically an East Coast person, we tend 421 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: to look at things in other parts of the country 422 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: that I feel like the East Coast. For example, we 423 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: invest in something like like in Cleveland, so between a 424 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: university and a medical clinic, and it's not just anywhere Cleveland. 425 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: It feels like you sort of get a little New 426 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: York and energy out of it. Um. So uh, that's 427 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: just that's just that you know you you you tend 428 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: to invest what you're familiar with when you know and 429 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: that feels familiar. All right. So the bagels don't even compare. 430 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: But Florida in Florida, I'm talking about Florida because the 431 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: water just doesn't work with the bagels. There's terrible But 432 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: I you want to just get your sense if Florida 433 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: is starting to look a little more like New York 434 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: given sort of the salt taxes. In the migration. You know, 435 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: there has been migration down I would say the impact 436 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: of that migration has not really felt in the accepting 437 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: a very very small part of the market so far. 438 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: The big effect on Florida has been flight capital from 439 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: Latin America on a big effect in the residential market. 440 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: And that's what has stopped completely now and that's why 441 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: the for sale market in Miami is a little weaker 442 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: than it's been.
