Despite the construction activity,
retail vacancy rates are at its lowest point in a decade with
overall shopping center
vacancies dipping to 7.3 % during the second quarter, according to a CB Richard Ellis survey of properties 50,000 sq. ft. and greater.
Market fundamentals continue to improve, as demonstrated by a decline in
overall vacancy, and rising rental
rates have done little to deter
retailers who are looking to expand and secure space in prime locations.
