OFFICE BUILDINGS v GOdD FOR 28 YEARS End of Financial Strength Comet About That Time. New York.—An office building Ifc In what may be termed the obsolete- stage after 28 years. Up to that tiiu* the Income from a building does not vary much from year to year except during a long stretch of oversupply when for economic reasons conces slons are given. After the twenty- eighth year has been left behind ai 'ippreclnble drop comes In the Ineoiu* >f the structure, and at the same tltm * corresponding Increase will be shown In the maintenance figures. In- t’cstigatlon recently into the financial affairs and lives of 155 office build ings In various parts of the country by the National Association of Build ing Managers Is the basis for the statement that 28 years Is the great dividing line In the financial success of the average olliee building. Two Periods in Life of Building. The investigation shows there are two periods In the life of a building. Period one starts at the time of erec tion and ends 28 years later.. During this time the gross income Is nearly constant. The expenses, however, rise continually with a corresponding fall ing off In the net return. This period represents the useful and profitable life of an office bi.sidir,:, during which it Is earning an ad< quate return on the investment. During most of this period a building Is able to maintain Itself ns a first-class structure, hous ing only the best grade of tenants. Because of the fact that when • building has arrived at the second period of Its life and it Is only a ques tion of time when It will havj* to be dismantled, Its Investment value de clines very rapidly and Is very often extinguished entirely. That Is, where as if a building is sold during the first .period of Its life It will bring a price somewhere near Us cost; If sold in the second period of Its life It will probably bring a much smaller price, and often will not be considered at adding any value whatever to the land on which It stands. As a consequence, while a building in the second period of Its life may for a time under favorable conditions continue to be operated at a small margin of profit, obsolescence will have largely or wholly destroyed its sale value. Replaced by New Structure. Period two extends from the twenty- eighth year to the time when the structure Is dismantled. In this period the gross Income of a structure falls very rapidly as also do its operating expenses, while the net income con tinues to decline at a somewhat faster rate than daring the first half of Us IVetiwe. .. .^ At the beginning of the second period a building teds that, through the action of obsolescence In any one or more of Its several forms. It Is los ing Its better class of tenants and that it la Impossible for It to maintain Us Income at Us previous level. Be cause of this falling off In Income. It must necessarily reduce Its operating expenses in proportion by giving a cheaper rate of service, thus becoming a second-grade building. Ip spite of all that can be done to rwlnce operating costs, the ever-in creasing extent of repairs and replace ments i ecessary In an old building continued in existence it soon becomes a nonproducer and Is likely to be op erated at a loss. Period two necessarily ends wit! the life of the building, which occur? when obsolescence has progressed so far that the building is tom down to be replaced by a now structure. Many illustrations may be cited pf Juiildlngs thus tom down and replaced by other structures at ages varying from 15 to 40 years. $75 A WEEK.
