“E-commerce is a great tailwind for the industry right now and probably will continue to be. Our belief is that it moderates a little bit and ebbs and flows with tech” as shopping behaviors shake out in a post-pandemic world.
- Jim Clewlow, Chief Investment Officer
“By and large our tenants are growing, our rents are growing and our occupancies are high,” he said. “We’re not just buying to buy or developing to develop or selling to sell. We’re national investors, and we’ve performed very well as measured by occupancies, which are hovering from 95% to 97%.”
“Even during the downturn of COVID, our occupancy levels remained very strong,” he added.
Now Clewlow, with a $1.1 billion account at hand, is looking at further growth on both coasts while shoring up CenterPoint’s tenant base. Since the beginning of the year, the company has made two major property purchases: the second half of a four-building acquisition in Countyline Corporate Park in Hialeah, Florida, and a more than 601,000-square-foot building on 31 acres in Pasadena, Texas.
“E-commerce is a great tailwind for the industry right now and probably will continue to be,” Clewlow said. “Our belief is that it moderates a little bit and ebbs and flows with tech” as shopping behaviors shake out in a post-pandemic world.
“Retail doesn’t go away,” he said. “But there’s a question of what that balance is.”
