The market is experiencing positive growth, driven by the drop in unemployment, job growth, and a spike in consumer confidence. All these factors have led to a drop in vacancy rate from 9.8 percent in the third quarter of 2014 to 9.5 percent in the fourth. CBRE also reports that net asking lease rates have increased from $17.73 in Q3 to $17.85 in Q4, proving that Chicago\u2019s retail market is in high demand.<\/p>\n<p>As the Chicago retail industry is gaining momentum, new retailers are bringing their business to the area in 2015. Tampa, Florida-based Burger 21 will open its first Chicago suburban restaurant in the Rosemont area this year, while Uber plans to create 75 new jobs in the city. Shake Shack opened a store in River North in November 2014 at 66 E Ohio St, and intends to occupy the first floor of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel at 12 S Michigan Ave, CBRE reports. Leasing activity in the city also gained momentum in 2014; notable transactions include Hobby Lobby\u2019s 51,190-square-foot lease in Deerfield and Sports Authority\u2019s 40,000-square-foot lease in Joliet.<\/p>\n<p>Both local and out-of-state investors are being drawn to the booming Chicago retail market. <a title=\"HFF Secures $34M Refinancing for Shops at Kingsbury Square\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cities\/chicago\/hff-secures-34m-refinancing-for-shops-at-kingsbury-square-2\/1004110682.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HFF recently secured a $34 million refinancing<\/a> for Shops at Kingsbury Square, a prime retail property anchored by a flagship Whole Foods store at 1550 N Kingsbury St in Lincoln Park, while <a title=\"Acadia Realty Trust Pays $144M for Prime Retail Asset on Chicago\u2019s Mag Mile\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cities\/chicago\/acadia-realty-trust-pays-144m-for-prime-retail-asset-on-chicagos-mag-mile\/1004108963.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acadia Realty Trust acquired an 88 percent interest in 840 N Michigan Ave<\/a> on Chicago\u2019s Magnificent Mile.
