Universal Studios, Walt Disney World and SeaWorld expanded parks in 2014, while the $429 million Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts opened in November.

Despite the strong construction figures, vacancy continues the downward spiral, reaching 6.2 percent by year-end. This accounts for a 60 basis-point drop from 2014, when vacancy dropped 40 basis points. The expanding inventory coupled with investors\u2019 growing appetite will impact employment indicators in Orlando. As a result, employers are expected to hire 38,000 workers in 2015. This translates into a 3.4 percent expansion, outpacing the projected national average of 2.3 percent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_100411\" style=\"width: 280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2015\/04\/sales.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100411\" data-attachment-id=\"1004117661\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/market-snapshot-orlando-retail-sector-strong\/sales\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2015\/04\/sales.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"336,248\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sales\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2015\/04\/sales.jpg?w=336\" class=\" wp-image-1004117661 \" title=\"Orlando Retail Market - Sales Trends - 2010 to 2014\" alt=\"Orlando Retail Market - Sales Trends - 2010 to 2014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2015\/04\/sales.jpg\" width=\"270\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2015\/04\/sales.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2015\/04\/sales.jpg?resize=300,221 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-100411\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Orlando Retail Market &#8211; Sales Trends &#8211; 2010 to 2014<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As more and more retailers enter the market, the increased demand for retail space is expected to push up rent rates. As such, average asking rents will grow by 2.4 percent, reaching $15.80 per square foot. This is a considerable jump, taking into account that average rents grew in Orlando by a mere 0.5 percent last year. However, with aggressive bidding pushing up property values, cap rates will start to compress and owners who have held onto assets since the recession may start selling their properties for a profit, according to Marcus &amp; Millichap\u2019s market forecast.<\/p>\n<p>These changes are expected to contribute to a one-place climb in the company\u2019s National Retail Index, landing Orlando in the top half, at Rank 23.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Charts courtesy of <\/i><a title=\"Marcus &amp; Millichap\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marcusmillichap.com\/research\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><i>Marcus &amp; Millichap<\/i><\/a><i><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orlando is flexing its retail muscle, and for good reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":1004117660,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37301],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004117659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
