The growth rate edged out the 10-year average, with an annual rent increase of 2.4 percent through March, according to the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbre.com\/insights\/figures\/q1-2026-us-retail-figures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CBRE quarterly retail report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, three consecutive quarters of positive net absorption kept the availability rate low, at just 4.9 percent at the end of the first quarter. However, the reading was 10 basis points higher compared to the one registered in December 2025 on account of several high-profile store closures, such as the ones triggered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/saks-global-bankruptcy-raises-questions-for-cre\/\">Saks Global\u2019s Chapter 11 bankruptcy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This space may not remain vacant for long, as a new tenant dynamic emerges. \u201cLast year was the first time that more retail space was leased by service tenants than by tenants selling actual goods, which reflects the general shift in consumer behavior away from goods and toward services,\u201d Ebere Anokute, Head of Retail Research for the Americas at CBRE, told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Record-low retail deliveries also placed downward pressure on the availability rate. During the first quarter, just 4.7 million square feet of retail space came online, the lowest quarterly figure ever recorded by CBRE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A combination of factors including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/will-construction-costs-go-up-in-2026\/\">rising construction costs<\/a>, a shortage of jobs and a lack of available development land leads to a tempered retail pipeline outlook, Anokute reasoned. \u201cIf interest rates come down in the near term, it&#8217;s possible that could lead to more construction financing, but that&#8217;s not what we&#8217;re seeing currently. The pipeline will likely remain measured in both the near and long term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a1aa0a46cf91&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"884\" height=\"654\" data-attachment-id=\"1004797671\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/cbre-retail-deliveries\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/CBRE-Retail-Deliveries.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"884,654\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" 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;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"CBRE-Retail-Deliveries\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Permission to use the graph received from Shannon Kosterman, media manager at CBRE&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Developers were more keen on bringing online retail product across the Sun Belt on account of the area&#8217;s population growth.

The strong population growth in the region is underscoring retail real estate demand, so while that continues, the balance between supply and demand should remain healthy,\u201d Anokute claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, while Sun Belt metros had the highest development activity, many of the same markets also topped the absorption metrics. For instance, new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/top-projects-that-will-reshape-phoenix\/\">construction projects in Phoenix<\/a> bumped the market into first place for both retail deliveries and absorption volumes during the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/unlocking-the-sun-belts-retail-potential\/\">Unlocking the Sun Belt\u2019s Retail Potential<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>This region\u2019s performance hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed by investors. Just last month, Ares Management Corp. entered a definitive merger agreement with Whitestone REIT. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/ares-management-to-acquire-whitestone-reit-for-1-7b\/\">$1.7 billion deal<\/a> includes a nearly 5 million-square-foot portfolio of retail assets across Phoenix, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-location-drives-an-even-steeper-performance-gap\">Location drives an even steeper performance gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dominance of the Sun Belt coincides with the divergence between downtown and suburban retail performance, both fueled by hybrid work arrangements and ongoing domestic migration. The availability chasm between downtown and suburban retail properties clocked in at 137 basis points in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investment followed throughout markets with a heavy suburban tilt, such as the Inland Empire. Two months ago, one of the largest Southern California deals closed when Brookfield Properties <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/brookfields-530m-socal-retail-deal-breaks-multi-year-record\/\">sold the 1.2 million-square-foot Victoria Gardens<\/a> in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, downtown owners <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/high-street-retail-regains-traction-in-the-new-downtown\/\">can stay competitive<\/a> by taking advantage of the daytime population that congregates in and around their properties, likely office buildings, Anokute concluded. This can include agreements with tenants that cater to the needs of office workers, such as dry cleaners, nail salons or boutique fitness companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most metrics are looking up, according to a new CBRE report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3471,"featured_media":1004797653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21808,23891,21742,21749,51037],"tags":[32789,34877],"class_list":["post-1004797616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-featured","category-national","category-latest","category-retail","category-trends","tag-cbre","tag-saks-fifth-avenue"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why Retail Shines On - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Retail deliveries reached a record low, but absorption and rents are looking up, , according to a first-quarter 2026 CBRE report.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why Retail Shines On\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Retail deliveries reached a record low, but absorption and rents are looking up, , according to a first-quarter 2026 CBRE report.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Commercial Property Executive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPExecutive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-05-11T14:21:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-05-13T07:23:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/CBRE-Retail-Featured.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"786\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"590\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Claudiu Tiganescu\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/\",\"name\":\"Why Retail Shines On - Commercial Property Executive\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/CBRE-Retail-Featured.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-05-11T14:21:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-05-13T07:23:04+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/cbed638584257d6fb5a2a9c95c982b66\"},\"description\":\"Retail deliveries reached a record low, but absorption and rents are looking up, , according to a first-quarter 2026 CBRE report.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-retail-shines-on-report\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/CBRE-Retail-Featured.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/05\/CBRE-Retail-Featured.jpg\",\"width\":786,\"height\":590,\"caption\":\"The averaging asking retail rent rose above the 10-year average annual growth in March.
