Amps

The basic flow of electrons in a conductor is called current. The basic unit of electrical current is measured in Amperes, often referred to as Amps. Any service rated over 400 amps is typically commercial service although 200-400 amps are generally seen in flex buildings and 800+ for heavy industrial buildings. Amps fields allow a range from low to accommodate different sources of power.

Volts

Voltage is an electrical force whose basic unit is the Volt. Volts fields allow a range of low to high to accommodate a facility that has a transformer enabling the power to be stepped up or down. Typical voltages for commercial services are 120/208 (for lights) or 277/480 (for machinery). Both require a Three Phase (see definition for Phase) service as opposed to a Single Phase service that is residential or small commercial.

Phase

Phase is the splitting of volts, with the term ‘wire’ being how many splits. Single Phase service is typically residential or small commercial. Three Phase will be used with higher voltage capacity needs. Normally described as 3 Phase, 4 Wire (with the 4th being the ground).

Last weeks commercial forecast seminar, hosted by US Bank highlighted the year 2011 and the forecast for 2012 for Nevada in general. A couple of interesting nuggets that were culled;

Although the current economic health was not great for Nevada, in general with Southern Nevada taking the brunt, Northern Nevada fared better with a vacancy decrease topped by multi-family with Industrial not far behind.

However, the darling of last year was Health care facilities and multi-family. So what does 2012 look like from a forecast perspective?

Health Care from Hospitals, Urgent Care as individual or partners of doctors strive to move their practice into a more efficient office structure and the ancillary facilities from pharmacy to imaging will follow suit.

The other highlight was the vacancy factor of big box industrial structures’ has dipped below the double-digit threshold. The consensus was that multi-family sales will out pace the balance of the commercial sector with single-family behind the power curve. Industrial and Medical Facilities will be bloomers.

As proof, I have just listed with Marc Sykes a “new to develop” 41 acre Town Center on the freeway exposure along US 395 at the Stead off ramp. We are working with several developers to attract retailers in the entertainment; food services and health care sector to fill this need in the 62,000 home trade are for Stead.

Absorption

Refers to the change in occupancy over a given time period. Lease renewals are not factored into absorption unless the renewal includes the occupancy of additional space. (In that case, the additional space would be counted in absorption.) Pre-leasing of space in non-existing buildings (e.g., Proposed, Under Construction, Under Renovation) is not counted in absorption until the actual move-in date.

Gross Absorption

For existing buildings, the measure of total square feet occupied (indicated as a Move-In) over a given period of time with no consideration for space vacated during the same time period. Sublet space and lease renewals are not factored into gross absorption. However, in a lease renewal that includes the leasing of additional space, that additional space is counted in gross absorption. Preleasing of space in non-existing buildings (Planned, Under Construction or Under Renovation) is not counted in gross absorption until actual move in, which by definition may not be any earlier than the delivery date.

Net Absorption

For existing buildings, the measure of total square feet occupied (indicated as a Move-In) less the total space vacated (indicated as a Move-Out) over a given period of time. Sublet space and lease renewals are not factored into net absorption. However, in a lease renewal that includes the leasing of additional space, that additional space is counted in net absorption. Pre-leasing of space in non-existing buildings (Planned, Under Construction or Under Renovation) is not counted in net absorption until actual move in, which by definition may not be any earlier than the delivery date.
