Nationwide

• The U.S. retail space markets have displayed resilience, which can be attributed to steady demand across a diverse array of sectors, a significant reduction in store closures, and minimal new supply entering the market.

• Rent increases have been strongest in Sun Belt markets, experiencing strong population and buying power growth, especially for smaller shop spaces along prime corridors.

• Leasing activity continues to concentrate in smaller spaces under 3,000 square feet, largely propelled by the expansion of quick-service restaurants.
