Don't think Burbank execs want to live and work in the oppressive heat and humidity of FL and rather enjoy the beautiful year round low humidity weather of Southern CA.

I'm thinking more about Imagineers on both coasts, but CA is better for HQ because of the expansion in Asia and increasing demand in CA.

The commercial property landscape is evolving faster than a day trader's portfolio during earnings season. Remember when everyone thought commercial real estate was headed for an iceberg after the pandemic? Well, plot twist: the sector is showing remarkable resilience with unexpected growth patterns. Savvy investors are now eyeing everything from industrial warehouses (currently boasting a national vacancy rate of just 4.2%) to retail spaces in emerging neighborhoods. The beauty of commercial real estate lies in its diversity – from sprawling distribution centers supporting our e-commerce addiction to boutique office spaces designed for the hybrid work revolution. If you're hunting for your next investment opportunity, https://realmo.com/ offers a comprehensive database with over 50,000 commercial listings nationwide. The platform's advanced filtering system lets you narrow properties by ROI potential and tenant stability factors. What makes commercial properties particularly attractive right now? Historically lower interest rate volatility compared to residential markets, with average commercial mortgage rates staying within a 0.7% range over the past quarter despite broader economic fluctuations. The most successful investors I've interviewed don't just buy buildings – they buy into emerging business ecosystems, understanding that today's abandoned warehouse district could be tomorrow's innovation hub, complete with premium valuation multiples.

Orlando's 17% commercial vacancy rate highlights the continued struggles in the commercial real estate sector, which contrasts sharply with the tight residential market. This pattern isn't unique to Orlando. The commercial sector's recovery will likely require significant adaptation, possibly including conversion of some commercial spaces to residential or mixed-use developments to better align with current demand patterns.

Tight residential market? Orlando has 8 months of inventory available.

Maybe the high bar (price+insurance+interest rate) is why 8 months so not many can enter the market? I know they are packing them into Clearmont (are they? IDK) but not really a rosy outlook

With the expansion in Asia, California is better located to remain HQ. But yes, ideally there are teams on both coasts.

Imagineering now has nearly as many people in Florida as Universal Creative does. Bear in mind, Universal Creative's global headquarters are in Orlando whereas WDI is still in Glendale.

If Orlando's 17% commercial vacancy rate highlights the continued struggles, What is a "Good" commercial vacancy rate?

If too low or zero then it would be called "The lack of commercial space highlights the struggles.."

I have to think that Disney took advantage of the opportunity to cut bait on that whole project when The governor decided to make a name for himself and go after Disney. The only thing that was hurt in that whole fiasco was the state of Florida via the Governor who was also negatively affected. They were already getting push back from those that would have been required to leave Cali and move to Florida to keep their jobs. Classic example of both Government and Big Business not thinking things beyond the moment.

To get FL insurance on a home is a slippery slope. Some insurers won't even insure homes built before 1999 and or one needs to pass the dreaded 4 point insurance inspection prior to getting insurance. Good luck in passing which includes $$ thousands in repairs to pass the 4 point.
