Retail absorption in Orlando may be hindered by space #availability, but it's not deterring retailers and restaurants seeking space in the market. Household growth in the past five years totals 15%, and that continues to attract new-to-market tenants, and those in #expansion mode. For this latest story, I spoke with Rebekah Marrero of Atrium Commercial Real Estate and Jason Kaiser, CCIM of SRS Real Estate Partners in Orlando to better understand the deal landscape, and how it is impacting rent growth. Tight vacancies in high barrier to entry markets are prompting tenants to move forward on any viable space that becomes available but getting deals to pencil remains a hurdle. To learn more, CoStar subscribers can read on for the full story.

Retail Division | October Report Miami’s retail market is entering a phase of cautious stability following several years of expansion. Vacancy has edged slightly higher to 3.1%, while rents have leveled off near $49 per square foot—a sign of balance between tenant demand and limited new supply. Despite slower population growth, tourism and consumer spending continue to sustain strong retail performance across Miami-Dade. This month’s investment spotlight highlights County Square Shopping Center in Northeast Dade, a fully leased property offering value-add potential through rental increases and tenant renewals. With a prime location near major traffic corridors, it demonstrates how well-positioned assets continue to deliver long-term value in a competitive retail landscape. #USFRealEstate #USFMumaCollegeOfBusiness #RetailRealEstate #CommercialRealEstate #CRE #MiamiRetail #MarketReport #RealEstateInvesting #USF #RealEstateSociety #RetailDivision #SouthFloridaRealEstate

🛍️ Q3 2025 Lincoln Retail Market Overview by Grace Newton, Principal | Lee & Associates Nebraska Lincoln’s retail market continues to prove its strength with a tight 2.2% vacancy rate and very little new construction in the pipeline. Space is so limited that the city would need to lease another 290,000 square feet in Q4 just to catch up with last year’s pace. That alone tells you how little turnover we’re seeing and how steady tenant demand has remained. Sales activity has cooled a bit compared to 2024’s record year, landing around $50 million year-to-date, but investor confidence hasn’t wavered. Properties that come to market are moving quickly, especially those in strong trade areas like SouthPointe and 84th & O Street. A great example of that momentum is Lee & Associates’ own Ammar Abu-Hamda, who represented the buyer in the largest retail sale of the quarter — proof that well-located assets are still drawing serious interest. Lincoln’s retail scene continues to do what it does best: stay disciplined, consistent, and locally driven. Strong tenants, thoughtful development, and long-term investor faith are keeping this market steady and positioned for continued growth. #LincolnRetail #CommercialRealEstate #RetailMarketUpdate #LeeAndAssociates #NebraskaCRE #RetailLeasing #MarketTrends #LincolnBusiness #RealEstateInvesting #RetailSpace #CREInsight #LeeRetail

Retail / High Street Pressure Continues A major UK dessert chain (100+ locations) has abruptly closed a city‑centre branch in Liverpool following enforcement and rent arrears. Takeaway for property owners: - Retail and hospitality tenants remain under pressure - closures mean voids, renegotiations, uncertain rental streams. - Assets previously let on retail‑heavy leases may need to be assessed for alternative uses. At Heritage Property Investing, we support landlords with proactive repositioning: converting retail units into more resilient uses (residential, serviced living, specialist uses) before voids erode value. If you have a retail unit under stress or facing tenant risk, talk to Heritage about conversion strategies to create future‑proof income. #ukproperty #commercialproperty #propertyinvestment #retailcrisis

Retail remains resilient, and Chicago is right in the mix. CBRE’s Q3 2025 U.S. Retail Figures highlight a national retail market that’s stabilizing and showing renewed demand. Availability held steady at 4.9%, and net absorption turned positive (totaling 1.8M SF) for the first time this year, signaling that openings and expansions are beginning to outpace closures. National Highlights: 📉 Availability: 4.9% 🏗️ Completions: 5.1M SF 💵 Average Rent: $24.92/SF (+1.8% YoY) While new construction remains below long-term norms, both developers and retailers are concentrating on prime, necessity-based locations — the same type of dense, urban retail corridors that define downtown Chicago. Our team continues to see consistent leasing momentum across key neighborhoods — from Fulton Market to River North and Michigan Avenue — fueled by F&B operators, boutique fitness concepts, and neighborhood retail that bring daily energy to the streetscape. The fundamentals are strong, and Chicago continues to prove it’s a market worth investing in. #RetailRealEstate #ChicagoRetail #CBRE #Leasing #CommercialRealEstate #RetailTrends #UrbanRetail
