On Thursday January 6 at 7:00AM the Morning Meeting for All Del Sol Rotarians featured Will Gleason an Urban Planner with Dekker Perich Sabatini Architects as the speaker. He gave an interesting presentation about changes in the commercial real estate market in  the Albuquerque area.  He told us that the new Amazon Center in Albuquerque has a square foot area of 2.5 million square feet making it the largest building in Albuquerque by far.  The price  per square foot for warehouse space has doubled in recent times.

 

Will also discussed the new Albuquerque Studios sound stage project. It is "one of the best hopes for job growth" in Albuquerque.  There will be 8-10 new sound stages in 1million square space.  

 

Finally he told us that among changes in commercial construction are more interchangeable outdoor spaces and more Collaborative work spaces in offices.
