The Hyperloop One could eventually come to Miami, creating a 26-minute route to Orlando, which would be a fraction of the four hours it would take to drive and less than half the hour it’d take to fly.
Of the 2,600 submissions in a global challenge from earlier in the year, among the 11 U.S. finalists is the Miami-to-Orlando route.
The process works by using a linear electric motor to move an electromagnetically levitated pod through a tube at speeds up to 620 miles per hour with no turbulence. Hyperloop One’s Senior VP Nick Earle says they plan to select two or three of the 11 finalists for further study.
“The question is where are we going to get the most collaboration and willingness to work together to jointly define the regulatory framework,” Earle said. “Because we can design the product in our development to meet the regulations.”
One of those collaborators is Alice Bravo, director of public works for Miami-Dade County in Florida. Bravo is proposing a hyperloop between Orlando and Miami, which could be a huge boon, not only for moving freight from the busy Miami port but also tourists back and forth between Disney World and Miami Beach.... Additional phases of the project could see the Florida hyperloop extend to Atlanta and then Chicago. “We think this is a corridor that could serve as a national stimulus,” Bravo said, “for this area of innovation and human capital intellect.”
There are also potential hyperloop routes being explored for six other countries.

Born in 1929, today would have been Khan's 88th birthday. He came to the United States in 1952 and studied at the University of Illinois, where he earned two master's degrees and a PhD in structural engineering. Khan was hired by Chicago architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1955, and went on to design the two iconic Chicago buildings.
He's considered the "father of tubular designs" for skyscrapers, which allowed towers to be constructed by the exterior frame of the building rather than the central supports of steel. This method, which proved to be far more efficient by using considerably less steel, has continued t0 be used in many high-rise buildings today. Khan's design innovation was used in buildings such as the World Trade Center, Bank of China Tower and in New York's Trump Tower.
At 100 stories high, the Hancock center was the second-tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1968. Built just a few years later in 1973, the Sears Tower is 108 stories high and is the second tallest building in the United States. It was renamed the Willis Tower in 2009.
Khan died of a heart attack in 1982 and was buried in Chicago. Khan is frequently remembered for his quote on always remembering the bigger picture in life.
"The technical man must not be lost in his own technology,” he said. "He must be able to appreciate life, and life is art, drama, music, and most importantly, people.”

While Broward County might not have the same glitz and glamour of its southern cousin Miami-Dade, the county had plenty of big-ticket commercial deals last year that racked up millions.
The Real Deal analyzed data from the CoStar group, an information company, to compile a list of Broward’s biggest commercial buyers during 2015.
#1 Prologis – $407.5 millionPrologis, one of the country’s biggest industrial real estate firms, racked up more pricey property purchases in Broward than any other company.The company sank a total of $407.5 million into 23 properties spread throughout the county, mostly concentrated in Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale.What helped push Prologis to the top this year was its $820 million acquisition of a 21-property portfolio from Morris Realty Associates. Three of those properties were located in Broward, totaling about $69.4 million.
#2 Starwood Capital Group – $281.9 millionSecond on the list was investment firm Starwood Capital Group, headquartered in the wealthy enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut.The firm put $281.9 million down on 13 properties in Broward, most of which were office buildings located in Fort Lauderdale business parks.Not to be outdone, Starwood also closed on a massive commercial sale last year. The investment firm was one of three buyers that paid $1.1 billion for Duke Realty’s portfolio of 62 properties in the Southeastern United States.Among those properties were eight office buildings in Fort Lauderdale and one in Pompano Beach, which made up the bulk of Starwood’s investment total for Broward County last year. Together, they totaled almost $180 million worth of properties.
#3 Norges Bank – $272.3 millionClose behind Starwood was the Norwegian central bank, which had a serious hankering for South Florida real estate last year.Norges Bank assembled $272.3 million worth of Broward County commercial properties during 2015, landing it in third place for the year’s list of biggest buyers.Those purchases were spread out over 13 properties between Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Hallandale and Dania Beach.All 13 were purchased in a joint-venture with Prologis — our No. 1 contender — as part of the $5.9 billion acquisition of KTR Capital Partners’ portfolio of 322 distribution properties throughout the U.S.Norges Bank is one of many foreign sovereign wealth funds picking up big chunks of U.S. real estate.
#4 TIAA-CREF – $238.8 millionTIAA-CREF is a Fortune 100 company that provides pensions for teachers and other professionals. It’s also one of the country’s largest real estate investment companies, and holds the No. 4 spot on the list of Broward’s biggest commercial buyers.The company spent $238.8 million on Broward County properties last year. The interesting part? That was split between just two purchases.In the first deal, the financial giant picked up Orlando-based Zom’s Casa Palma apartment complex in unincorporated Broward for nearly $90 million.Next, TIAA-CREF paid the Related Group an incredible $149 million for its Manor at Flagler Village apartment project in Fort Lauderdale.
#5 Global Logistics Properties – $187.7 millionLast but certainly not least is Chicago-based Global Logistics Properties, a multinational real estate firm that specializes in — you guessed it — logistics properties.Last year, GLP put down an impressive $187.7 million for 11 Broward County properties, all but one of which was located in Fort Lauderdale.The commercial giant continued this list’s trend of massive portfolio deals with its purchase an Industrial Income Trust assemblage in a deal valued at $4.55 billion.In Broward, that portfolio’s biggest piece was Sunrise Distribution Center in Fort Lauderdale. It alone fetched $43.8 million.
With year-to-date U.S. office sales volume reaching its highest level since before the recession, domestic and offshore investors alike are extending their search for income-yielding properties into secondary markets and supply constrained inner suburbs.
Markets such as Seattle, Chicago and Atlanta are the new star locations this year, with a select list of the top six highest-dollar office transactions of the third quarter showing a slight shift in trading activity away from San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C., which have each seen 20% or more of their total inventory change hands over the last 18 months.
"The office sales market is extremely strong," noted CoStar Managing Director Hans Nordby during the recent Third-quarter 2015 Office Market Review and Outlook. "Investors are finally investing in the country’s office and the industrial sectors -- the business-oriented areas -- which is different from three or four years ago, when trading activity was all apartments, all of the time."
With Atlanta, Philadelphia and Orange County leading the way, deal activity in secondary markets has increased by more than 83% in the first three quarters of 2015 from the same period last year, according to a recent market report from JLL.
As usual, the technology sector is leading U.S. job growth, but increasingly, the financial, professional and business services segments are expanding as firms follow the migration of millennial talent into urban markets, said Julia Georgules, vice president of U.S. Office Research for JLL. However, with office construction still trending water, companies often aren’t finding the large blocks of space they require, clearing a path for redevelopment and other value plays.
"With supply remaining constrained in lots of these urban areas as well as some suburban ones, many landlords are more aggressively thinking about repositioning dated and obsolete office product to meet the growing demand," Georgules said.
The most active office buyers so far this year have been opportunistic and value-add private equity investors, including Amtrust Realty Corp., which acquired Illinois Center, a two-tower, 2 million-square-foot property in Chicago’s East Loop, from Sam Zell’s Equity Commonwealth for $376 million, or $185 per square foot. Although occupancy of the buildings at 233 N. Michigan and 111 E Wacker Drive was only 73.5% at the time of sale, Amtrust revealed plans to upgrade the retail concourse and other areas of the property to boost leasing.
Despite market perceptions of a disconnect between REIT share prices and private valuations as a result of stock market volatility, REITs haven't missed out on their piece of the action in office property sales. In another value-add deal, Highwoods Properties acquired the 896,449-square-foot Monarch Centre at 3414-3424 Peachtree Road NE in Atlanta’s Buckhead submarket, paying a joint venture of JV of New York State Common Retirement Fund and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority $303 million at a cap rate of 4.29%, despite a vacancy rate of 18% at the property.
The influx of offshore capital from Asia and other regions into U.S. primary markets accelerated again in the third quarter, with nearly a quarter of all office deals acquired by foreign buyers, compared with 15% in the broader U.S. real estate market, according to JLL. While New York City and Los Angeles saw the highest investor interest, Seattle has also become a target of offshore capital in the second half of 2015.
In Seattle, for example, an affiliate of Hong Kong-based GAW Capital Partners acquired the 1.7 million-square-foot Columbia Center at 701 5th Ave. from Beacon Capital Partners for $711.5 million. GAW paid $417 per square foot for the downtown property built in 1985 and renovated in 2005.
Senior executives for the two largest publicly traded CRE services firms this week noted the continued abundance of foreign and other sources of capital, and that capital is flowing increasingly into transactions in non-gateway markets.
Cross-border capital flows have also remained strong into the fourth quarter, Bob Sulentic, president and CEO of CBRE Group, Inc. told investors during the company’s third-quarter earnings call Tuesday.
"We think half of the clients that we did business with a year ago were moving capital across borders. Half of them intend to move even more capital this year," Sulentic said.
If forecasts of potential disruptions come to pass in debt markets, particularly CMBS, a sufficient supply of capital is available from other sources to step into real estate, Sulentic said.
“We have been anticipating that the rate of growth in sales will come down to a more sustainable level, and we still believe that is likely to be the case, but we are not seeing deals die basically because of a lack of capital,” Sulentic said.
CBRE Chief Financial Officer Jim Groch said sales activity in U.S. and European secondary markets have strengthened while activity remains quite strong in core CBD markets. The gateway markets also saw plenty of large transactions during the quarter, topped by the largest, the $2.29 billion sale of Metro Life Insurance Plaza at 11 Madison Ave. A joint venture of CIM Group LP and The Sapir Corp. sold the 2.35 million-square-foot asset to SL Green Realty Corp.
In the supply constrained Boston market, Pearlmark Real Estate Partners sold a two-building portfolio on Federal Street totaling 818,231 square feet to Rockpoint Group LLC for $326.5 million, or about $400 per square feet. In the East End of Washington, D.C., Boston Properties sold the 10-story, 325,361-square-foot 500 8th St. NW to Prudential Real Estate Investors for $318 million. At a strong $977 per square foot, PREI felt justified in paying above replacement cost for the core-plus property.
In fact, all commercial property sectors are seeing strong activity, with total CRE sales up 19% over the same period last year, while the trailing four-quarter total for the four major property types is the highest ever registered by CoStar at about $370 billion.
Office property sales volume was up 30% to $115 billion in the first three quarters of 2015 compared with last year, Only the meteoric industrial real estate sector has seen stronger year-to-date sales growth at 32%, and office is the only major property type to log a significant increase in third-quarter sales volume, increasing 14% from a year ago, according to preliminary CoStar sales data.
Over 65% of metro areas are trading at or above their last-cycle peak pricing on price-per- square foot basis. San Francisco has logged the strong price gains since 2013, unsurprising since the Bay Area was already ret-hot going into that time period. However, Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles, where activity was very soft two years ago, have seen pricing growth take off at a strong clip since 2013, according to CoStar Commercial Repeat Sales Index (CCRSI) data.
What makes a city livable? People have differing views, but for many city-dwellers, proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, parks and jobs are some of the key perks of urban living, especially if those destinations are accessible without a car. According to recent Redfin research, the construction of parking spaces for residential properties is starting to wane, as is the number of families who own two cars. And as traffic concerns and commute times rise across the country, many people are opting out of car ownership entirely.
Redfin compiled the latest Walk Score rankings to see which U.S. cities with populations greater than 300,000 have the highest composite Walk Score, Transit Score and Bike Score rankings. These are places where you could forgo having a car and still be able to get around town in a variety of ways, whether it be by foot, bike or public transit. And while not all cities are created equal, each of these 10 cities has infrastructure to support a car-free lifestyle.
