28 Key points: power, mfg., recreation Solar, wind power are growing again; expect more gas-fired plants, natural gas pipelines into 18 Mfg decline led by completion/delay of chemical plants (ethane crackers, petrochemicals, LNG) and transportation equipment (cars, trucks, jets, railcars) Amusement & recreation spending is very lumpy a few big stadiums at irregular intervals; but funding for local, state, federal parks keeps eroding Source: Author Source: Author 28 28

30 Key points: roads, transportation, sewer/water Highway funds benefit from more travel, hence fuel purchases; gradual pick-up in state funding & P3s; little likelihood of higher federal funding Railroads slashing investment; pickup in airport projects but no increase likely in port, transit construction funding Eastern & Midwestern cities under orders to make long-term upgrades to sewer systems that should boost spending; water utilities hurt by drought, conservation but may get money for lead abatement Source: Author Source: Author 30

32 32 Key points: education & health care Bond issues should boost funding in some districts but prek-12 enrollment nationally is flat; more children staying in cities and filling underused or charter schools, so construction no longer matches population growth Higher-ed enrollment is shrinking, so colleges need fewer dorms & classrooms; apts. (multifamily) replacing dorms (educational construction) Hospitals face more competition from standalone urgent care, outpatient surgery, clinics in stores; more investment in small facilities, short stays Source: Author Source: Author 32

34 Key points: retail, warehouse, office, hotel, data centers Retail now tied to mixed-use buildings & renovations, not standalone stores or shopping centers Warehouse market still benefiting from e-commerce; more local than huge regional distribution centers likely in future Employment sets records each month but office space per employee keeps shrinking; growth mainly in cities & renovations, not suburban office parks Hotel construction likely to drop as revenue per available room slows Data centers remain a strong niche but no data available on how strong Source: Author Source: Author 34 34

70 Owners Contemplating Investments Must Weigh New Square Footage vs Internet and Other High-tech Trends The old standby issue: Bricks & mortar retail But many more examples now: Single-family residential (high square footage per unit) Street-corner banking branches Brokerage houses Office space Hotels/motels University & college campuses Medical office buildings Pulp and paper mills / post offices Prisons Cinemas VERSUS: Online shopping (videos, music, books, travel agencies) Multi-family residential (low square footage per unit) Transactions over the Internet (PayPal; etc.) E-trading Working from home / 'hoteling' or sharing of space The 'sharing economy' (e.g., Airbnb) Proliferation & convenience of lower-cost online courses Health care Google searches / digital transfer of records s and instant messaging / comments on Facebook Ankle bracelets Netflix / itunes store Concert halls TV stations Virtual reality Facebook live 70

71 Logistics Rule The goal of improved logistics is to move goods, services and people faster, cheaper, safer and greener. The words logistics, infrastructure and productivity enhancements have become synonymous. The push for both hard (i.e., roads, sewers, pipelines, etc.) and soft (schools and hospitals) infrastructure largely comes down to striving for productivity enhancements. Soft infrastructure supplies the brains (through educational facilities) and the healthy workers (medical facilities) to create and maintain the whole supercomplicated logistics apparatus. The nation that understands and adapts to this new dynamic will prosper best. 71
