Net absorption for shopping center space and single-tenant buildings declined 39% and 49% respectively. The year opened with Sears’ announcement it would shutter 150 Sears and Kmart stores and ended with the closing of 63 Sam’s Clubs by Walmart in Q4. Meanwhile, activist investors are pressuring chains to sell assets.
Absorption across all retail categories totaled 75.8 million SF and was off 33.6%, the least since 2012. The continuing turmoil followed a year of record absorption in 2016 with 114.2 million SF, making the reversal appear more severe. One bright spot was that demand for power centers and mall space was up sharply year over year, but they combine for less than 20% of total inventory.
National Economic Overview2
TRENDING IN Q4
The transformative effects of e-commerce’s annual double-digit growth on the nation’s most venerable merchants was on full display again in 2017 and surprised almost no one.
Retail’s continuing evolution in 2017 included predicted record store closings as traditional retailers scrambled to ramp up their online merchandizing to blunt Amazon’s commanding advantage and resources.
But Amazon had another agenda. Not only dominating in online sales, the retail giant began taking up storefront positions in 2017 with its stunning $13.7-billion acquisition of Whole Foods. Amazon Go – small, cashier-less grocery stores rolled out in 2017 – is revolutionary.

Many traditional retailers are succeeding in online sales – Walmart, Target, Macy’s and even Kroger are pushing back – but they are caught in a squeeze. With the low profi t margins generated by internet purchases, merchants have no choice but to improve brick-and-mortar performance.
Retail Right-Sizes as Amazon Ups the AnteUS RETAIL MARKET

National Economic Overview2
The decline was anticipated. Deliveries and new construction are down as the broader retail property market is managing the painful retreat in a more-or-less orderly way given the unique threat posed by online sales to traditional commerce.
But merchants are not relying on water parks and Legoland alone to draw customers. They’re embracing technology to spark in-store experiential connections with shoppers – facial recognition, how-to videos, digital device integration and fi ne tuning inventory to align with traffi c patterns. At the same time, they’re right-sizing their retail footprints. There were more than a few victims among slow-footed CEOs. As he stepped down in 2017 as chief of J. Crew Group, retail legend Mickey Drexler told reporters that he failed to see how technology would upend the industry.
New supply is down as investors and developers are maintaining uncustomary discipline with cutbacks in new deliveries and space under construction. Consequently, vacancy rates in shopping centers fell 60 basis points year over year and settled at 7.4%, the lowest in more than a decade.

Deliveries Trend Delivered SF
Rents gained 3.3%. For single-tenant general retail buildings, which account for about 65% of the market, the vacancy rate was unchanged at 2.9% and asking rents jumped 9.6% year over year.
Mall landlords have been scrambling for most of the decade to come up with novel ways to re-ignite foot traffi c and backfi ll empty anchor space. The efforts may be working as net absorption in malls rebounded 79% in 2017 to 9.2 million SF. Mall space accounts for about 10% of the total inventory.
There were other bright spots. A strong job market and high consumer confi dence peaked with holiday retail sales at their highest in six years. At the property level, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls have opted against online sales and reported same-store gains.
And investors looked more favorably at traditional retailers angling for greater online shares but with high expectations. Walmart shares tumbled 10% when the company announced Q4 online sales grew only 23% compared to at least 50% in each of the previous three quarters.
The largest leases of 2017 included the 118,000-SF deal signed by Irondale Pickers and Market Place at Garden Ridge in Birmingham, Al; the 113,275-SF Athletic Republic lease in the Capital Sports Complex in Washington, D.C., and BJ’s Warehouse Club leases of 109,360 SF in Boston and 102,600 SF in Roanoke, VA.

GDP GROWTH TRENDING IN Q4
Stronger-than-expected economic activity will produce a 3.98% fourth-quarter rise in GDP and Q1 2018 projection of 3.15%, according to estimates by the New York Fed. Other early estimates peg 2017’s GDP growth at a 2.3% annual rate.
The tax overhaul passed late in the year certainly shakes up the landscape. The consensus is it will provide a fresh tailwind to what many see is a late-stage economy. Research popular with the overhaul’s proponents broadly suggests the tax cut will slice the trade defi cit in half and deliver a
1% shot or more to the GDP. Research also shows it will result in more of an accounting effect than improvement in worker income.
Exhuberance about the economy is not exactly an emotion shared by Americans lately, and it’s looking less likely they’ll be able to help fuel more growth by shopping.
U.S. consumer sentiment slid for the third straight month in January after hitting a 13-year high in October. Consumer debt as a share of disposible income is already at its highest level since the fi rst quarter of 2009. The personal savings rate has fallen to its lowest rate since 2007, meaning consomers have no more to give.
If it’s the soaring stock market that is making people feel wealthy, there’s reason for concern. The savings rate was 5.7% in 1996 when a previous Fed chairman mused about “irrational exhuberance” during the dot-com bubble. A decade later, consumers were able to tap into frothy home equity to keep the economy humming. It all adds up to be an added burden on business to increase wages and give cover for elected leaders to increase domestic spending.

The unemployment rate closed the year at 4.1%, unchanged in December for the third straight month and down 0.6% year-over-year. The number of jobless was 6.6 million, the U.S. Labor Department reported. Unemployment rates were lower year-over-year in 304 of the 388 metropolitan areas surveyed midway through the fourth quarter.
Year-over-year employment was essentially unchanged. In 2017, the unemployment rate and the number of unemployed persons were down by 0.6 percentage point and 926,000, respectively.
The fastest job growth has occurred in health care, personal care, and social assistance and construction.
Struggling job categories include workers at dozens of aging coal plants that are closing in 16 states as competitive pressures mount from natural gas, wind and solar farms. Fourteen plants closed in 2017. Eleven of 32 planned closures are slated this year. Eight aging coal-fi red plants, each with 200 to 450 workers, are being shut down in north and west Texas. Operators of one shuttered coal plant acquired a 600-acre solar farm in the region that can produce 180 megawatts of power with two employees.
It fi gures that the outlook for their supply-chain brethren in the mines is equally grim. But a surge in U.S. coal exports, particularly to Asia and Japan, last year stopped the slide in mining jobs.

Weakness in 2017’s infl ation readings turned out to be transitory, as expected by Federal Reserve offi cials. Consumer prices excluding food and energy rose 0.3% from the previous month and core prices were up 1.8% year over year, the Labor Department reported in December. This is more affi rmation for Fed policymakers to stick to their plan for three interest-rate increases in 2018.
Forced to act in the recession, the Fed slashed interest rates and pledged to keep the short-term federal-funds rate close to zero through the recovery. It reached 0.15% in early 2009 where it stayed until 2015. The Fed’s balance sheet also swelled from about $900 billion in 2008 to today’s $4.4 trillion with its acquisitions of long-term bonds and mortgage-backed securities.
The Fed’s unconventional monetary policy was crafted to encourage investors to shift from bonds to equities and real estate. This asset-substitution strategy produced the hoped-for rise in household wealth and consumer spending. Equities owned by households jumped 47% from 2011 to 2013, a year that household net worth jumped $10 trillion. From 2009 to late 2016 the S&P gained more than 200%.

National Economic Overview
GLOBAL ECONOMYAt the 10th anniversary of the fi nancial crisis and during a year in which the world enjoyed its strongest broad-based growth in a decade, the International Monetary Fund used its World Outlook Forum to warn that governments should guard against complacency brought on by booming markets and asset prices.
The caution comes as growth is accelerating in Europe, Japan, China and the United States – growth that will be untroubled by higher interest rates in the United States and phasing out of stimulus by the
European Central Bank, the IMF says.
After assessing data showing a stronger fi rst-half, the IMF estimates global growth at 3.6% in 2017 and 3.7% for 2018.
Oil prices moved higher on more disciplined production by OPEC and Russia, a relief to commodity-dependent emerging markets and a boon to the U.S. shale oil sector.
Speculation has been unchecked on all assets from real estate to bitcoin. But the yield curve is fl attening, usually a signal preceding slowing growth and recessions.

Steady tightening in the Seattle metro retail market continued in 2017 with about 710,000 SF of net absorption across all categories and in most of the metro’s submarkets.
The vacancy rate settled at 3.5%, equaling the post-recession low set in Q2. The vacancy rate is 1.9% for general retail space, which makes up 54% of the metro’s 176.6-million-SF retail inventory. Vacancy rates at the end of 2017 were 6.9% for shopping centers, 2.6% for power centers and 1.2% for mall space.
Demand nearly equaled the 983,840 SF of gross leasable area delivered to the market in 2017 – the most space added since 2009. Year-over-year rent growth averaged 3.6%.
Most of the expansion was in the Southend’s Renton/Tukwila submarket with ribbon-cuttings for Ikea’s 406,000 SF and 55,535-SF leased by Dick’s Sporting Goods on Southcenter Parkway. A 225,804-SF Costco opened on 188th Avenue in Redmond in the Eastside retail market, which is set to add 400,000-SF to the newly redeveloped Village at Totem Lake in Kirkland.
Nearly a half million square feet of space has been added to the inventory in the 47-million-SF Northend submarkets in the last three years. The new deliveries are running slightly ahead of demand and caused lease rates to slip 2.4% year over year and average asking rates

Asking rates jumped 10.8% in the Southend, 10.4% on the Eastside and 5.2% in the small Downtown market. Rents were up 1.5% in the Tacoma market in 2017 after gaining 7.6% the previous year.
Four quarters of healthy demand in the Tacoma market drove down the vacancy rate 40 basis points to 4.4% year over year.
Northend’s net absorption dipped into red numbers for fi ve of the last six quarters with about 102,000 SF going back on the market in 2017. Nearly 200,000 SF of new product has been delivered in Northend submarkets in the last two years. More than 46,000 SF were underway at the end of 2017. The 47.8-million-SF market’s vacancy rate ticked up to close the year at 4.1%.
Buoyed by big leases in the fi rst half of 2017 from Ikea and Dick Sporting Goods, net absorption in the Southend submarkets closed the year in positive territory with 241,275 SF. The vacancy rate for the nearly 32-million-SF market settled at 3.4%.
Transactions were off compared to 2016. Through the fi rst nine months of 2017 there were 54 deals totaling $426.5 million and averaging $146 per SF versus 52 trades in 2016 totaling $692.7 million and averaging $261 per SF.

Strong second-half growth vaulted the Dallas/Fort Worth metro retail market into the top position nationally for absorption along with the nation’s leading volume of new deliveries and space under construction in 2017. Rents increased nearly 8% year over year and are up 17% in the last three years. The vacancy rate settled at a 10-year low.
Although it’s the nation’s fourth largest retail market, Dallas/Fort Worth led in total growth with 4.3 million SF, fractionally more than in Chicago, a market nearly 25% larger.
Dallas/Fort Worth also led the nation with 6.5 million SF in the delivery of new product compared to 5.8 million SF in Houston. Dallas/Fort Worth also was tops in new construction with 3.9 million SF underway at the end of 2017, just ahead of Northern New Jersey. Much of the new construction is build to suits for major retailers that won’t negatively affect fundamentals and rent growth.
Most of the metro’s 2017 growth occurred after Q2’s negative 761,000 SF, the fi rst quarterly slump in three years.
Developers are shifting their attention away from malls and power centers and toward large residential corridors, building shopping centers and mixed-use projects. For example, CityLine in Richardson, Legacy West in Plano, Water Street and the Music Factory in Las Colinas – four projects that make

The Shops at Willow Bendon the Dallas North Tollway in West Plano opened in 2000 and is already getting a $100-millon makeover. Landlord Starwood Capital expects to boost the property’s performance as it occupies a prime location between the George Bush Turnpike and Sam Rayburn Tollway and near newer and future developments to the north.
Grocery-anchored centers are fi nding plenty of interest from HEB, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods Market - national grocers whose interest is heightened by the booming demand.
The year’s largest deliveries were Tanger Outlets Champions Circle, a 350,000 SF project in the Fort Worth suburban market followed by the 335,219 SF fi rst phase of The Shops at Clearfork and the 297,000 SF Ikea store in West Dallas. Fourteen of the 15 largest projects delivered in 2017 were 100% leased at completion.
Leading the largest projects underway is the 555,000 SF Wade Park Retail in North Central Dallas and slated for Q2 completion followed by the Music Factory, a 465,000 SF project in the West Dallas market. Eleven of the top 15 projects underway are 100% pre-leased.
The metro’s affordability, location and quality of labor continue to draw major employers to the region as job growth has averaged more than 100,000 annually since 2012. Although supply is ramping up, absorption has kept pace with inventor growth, ensuring continued record-setting occupancy levels. Population growth in the northern suburbs of Plano, Frisco, Allen, and McKinney is projected to continue.

The Chicago metro closed the year with a strong fourth quarter, posting nearly 1.6 million SF in net absorption driving down the year-end vacancy rate to 6.5%, its lowest in a decade. Overall tenant demand eased in 2017. New deliveries were off and despite 1.9% year-over-year rent growth average lease rates remain below 2008 levels.
With 547 million SF, Chicago has the nation’s second largest retail inventory after Philadelphia but led in 2017 in total vacancy with 33.8 million SF. Absorption fell 19% from 2016 to 4,280,466 SF. The metro was third in new deliveries with 2.45 million SF in 2017, off 35% from a year earlier. Chicago ranked fi fth behind Houston in the volume of space under construction at the end of the year.
Sales activity fell in 2017, but prices jumped nearly 14%.

Surging tenant demand for retail space catapulted Atlanta – the nation’s seventh largest retail metro – into a near tie with Chicago and Dallas as the nation’s hottest metros in 2017. Atlanta’s year-end vacancy rate fell to 5.3%, a 10-year low, and rents gained 6.9% year over year.
The volume of new retail space added to the inventory in 2017 totaled 2.4 million SF. But the 1.3 million SF of shopping area under construction at the end of the year represents a 64% drop from 2016.
Atlanta’s net absorption totaled nearly 4.2 million SF in 2017 – a 22% increase over 2016 and about 133,000 SF short of the top spot claimed by Chicago with nearly 13% greater inventory.
Job growth has been fueling demand for space, and in the last two years lease rates have begun to respond. Premium space in high-traffi cked retail centers is at virtually zero vacancy, forcing tenants to settle for B and C locations.
With a total retail base of about 365 million SF, Atlanta ranks behind Houston and ahead of Boston among largest U.S. markets. In 2016, Atlanta had 3.5 million SF under construction at the end of the year, the nation’s second highest total. But at the end of 2017, the volume of space underway dropped the metro to 19th.
Six of Atlanta’s 46 submarkets accounted for half the annual growth: Suwanee/Buford, Riverdale/

Prime locations in urban locales are in short supply and command the highest rents. Buckhead is Atlanta’s priciest submarket. Its 4.1% vacancy rate is the lowest in eight quarters and asking lease rates were just shy of $30 per SF. Phipps Plaza Buckhead completed its Peachtree Street million-dollar facelift and is announcing new restaurants and prestigious merchants, including Tiffany’s, Gucci, Jeffrey Atlanta and others.
Despite the retreat of several national retailers, tenant demand in most major malls has been strong and the year-end vacancy rate settled at 3.6%. DeKalb County is an exception. Its 2.3 million SF of mall space is 15.1% vacant. Stonecrest Mall and North DeKalb Mall struggle to lease up space vacated by top merchants. A number of major big box retailers also have quit the DeKalb market. Stonecrest Mall’s loss of anchor tenants and a Starbucks speaks to the challenge facing landlords.
Among the year’s leading deliveries were The Meridian at Tucker, a 207,000-SF center in DeKalb by developer Ben F. Kushner Co. and the 350,000 SF over two buildings at Battery at Sun Trust Park in the South Cobb market.
Major developments underway at the end of the year were led by a 123,552-SF project on Steeplechase Boulevard in the Georgia 400 market, the 90,540-SF Buckner Crossing in South Cobb and The Beacon Atlanta, a 60,222-SF project in the South Atlanta market.

Strong fourth-quarter demand closed an active year for retail space in the Charleston market as net absorption totaled 397,255 SF and the vacancy rate ended the year at 3.1%, up 30 basis points year over year.
There were 579,095 SF of space delivered to the Charleston market in 2017, the second highest total in 10 years. Twelve of the 15 largest new developments were 100% pre-leased.
Most new development was in the general retail category in East Islands/Mt. Pleasant. A 30,000-SF center at 349 Coleman Blvd. in the East Island/Mt. Pleasant market opened with 15% occupancy. The largest new project with 87,800 SF was BJ’s Wholesale Club on 1036 Jockey Court in Outlying Berkeley County.
Slightly more than half of Charleston’s 44.1 million SF of retail space is in the general retail category, which ended 2017 with a 2.1% vacancy rate, up 50 basis points year over year. The vacancy rate for 2.3 million SF of mall space was 0.4%, 3.7% for 2.6 million SF of power centers and 4.9% in shopping centers.
Small shop leasing still is healthy with normal turnover of a limited supply. Larger box development and backfi lling of existing space has slowed and plans for new power centers have been shelved.

Grocery-anchored and power centers still outshine all other categories. Small shop vacancies are low and lease rates are high.
The two enclosed malls in the Charleston area still struggle with creating or capturing foot traffi c. The Citadel Mall recently backfi lled a big box vacancy with a regional medical tenant. It was a blow to other mall occupants hoping for a strong replacement tenant that would draw consumers.
Municipal aversion to new projects and tough bureaucratic scrutiny of permit applications are big hurdles to development. Approvals for upfi t permits are taking up to three months.
Overall activity should remain stable with vacancy rates in most submarkets.
Three of the year’s fi ve top leases were in North Charleston. At the Northwoods Mall, Burlington Coat Factory leased 81,605 SF and Restaurant Depot leased 63,000 SF. Gander Outdoors leased 40,325 SF at The Promenade at Northwoods. Harris Teeter leased 50,000 SF and Carpet To Go leased 23,780 SF on Northwoods Bouldvard in Greater Charleston.
The year ended with 16 buildings under construction totaling 338,065 SF and averaging about 87% pre-leased. The largest projects underway were led by a 124,320-SF development at Summerville Commons slated for Q4 delivery.

Vacancies in the Greenville-Spartanburg retail market fell to their lowest in more than a decade, rents increased at the fastest annual rate since the recession and tenant demand for space outpaced new supply for the fi fth straight year.
The year ended with nearly 392,000 SF of fourth-quarter net absorption, lifting the total for the year to 704,120 SF. Although absorption was off 28% from 2016, new deliveries in 2017 totaled 571,685 SF. At the end of the year there were 236,631 SF under construction, more than triple the 75,753 SF underway at the end of 2016. Average rents gained 9% in 2017 and were up 22% over the last four years.
The Greenville-Spartanburg market includes 14 million SF of space in Anderson County. Nearly 2 million SF of space in Pickens County and 1.7 million SF in Cherokee and Laurens counties total 15% of the total shopping area.
Although available shop space has been tightening steadily since the recession, signifi cant turnover of space has created opportunities for new and expanding merchants to secure quality locations.
The Greenville-Spartanburg market has been adding jobs for years with an economy boosted by multinationals BMW, Michelin and others. It has an international airport, affordable housing, universities,

A recent U.S. Census bureau ranking Greenville as the nation’s fourth fastest growing city is a return on years of reinvesting in infrastructure, encouraging downtown residential development and subsidizing historic renovations, commerce and jobs.
Sales of properties were down in 2017 from the previous year. Through the fi rst nine months of 2017 there were 12 transactions totaling $75.9 million for an average of $86 per SF. In 2016 there were 22 trades totaling $203.7 million, an average $157 per SF. Cap rates were higher in 2017, averaging 8.54% compared to 8.18% in 2016.

Lackluster demand in Manhattan’s largest shopping districts continued in the second half as merchants adjust to changing retail trends. The overall 2017 vacancy rate settled at 4.1, up 40 basis points year over year. Rents largely are unchanged in the large Midtown and Midtown South markets as well as in the small 4.6-million-SF Downtown district.
Manhattan’s largest new project in 2017 was delivered in Downtown. South Street Seaport aka Pier 17 by Howard Hughes Corporation, added 249,394 SF of rentable space in Downtown’s insurance district. Although Pier 17 was 56% pre-leased on its Q4 delivery, the added supply pushed up the district’s Q3 vacancy rate 230 basis points, closing the year at 8.9%. Downtown includes the World Trade Center, Tribeca, fi nancial district and city hall submarkets.
Weakness continued in Midtown South, the largest retail district with 17 million SF and includes Chelsea, Grammercy Park, Greenwich Village, Hudson Square and Soho. The shopping area reported 87,245 SF of negative absorption in 2017 and has been in red numbers for 12 of the last 16 quarters. But the district total inventory also has declined 103,000 SF in the last four years, holding the increase in the vacancy rate to 50 basis points and keeping rents largely in check.
Strong fi rst-half demand in the Midtown market was enough to overcome nearly 77,000 SF of negative

absorption in the last two quarters. Midtown’s 16.6-million-SF inventory -- across Columbus Circle, Grand Central, Murray Hill, Penn Plaza/Garment, Times Square, and U.N. Plaza submarkets – has seen a 217,000-SF reduction since 2013, while rents and vacancy have largely been unchanged.
Strong demand over the last 10 quarters in the Uptown market has matched the volume of new space delivered since 2013, keeping the level of vacant space in the low 3% range and causing lease rates to soar 39% in the last eight quarters. Net absorption totaled 145,812 SF in 2015. The vacancy rate settled at 3.2%, up 30 basis points since 2013 while 320,000 SF added since 2013.
Amazon made Manhattan headlines twice in 2017. First was the company’s lease for 392,000 SF of offi ce space followed by plans for a 7,000-SF bookstore in two levels on Spring Street between Crosby and Lafayette streets. Amazon already has stores in Time Warner Center and Herald Square.
Another major deal in 2017 was the announcement by Spanish amusement company Parques Reunidos to collaborate with Lionsgate Entertainment on a new movie-themed food and entertainment center at 11 Times Square. The project will require $30 million and two years two complete.

TRENDING IN Q4Regional malls in Vancouver continue to perform well and landlords are making major capital improvements to accommodate healthy tenant demand, including from brands that are new to the market.
Unemployment is down to 4.9% and spending is up. With currency rates favoring the Canadian dollar, day trips to the U.S. were down 25% in 2017 as local shoppers stayed in Vancouver. The exchange rate also works to attract more tourist dollars. The Port of Vancouver is Canada’s largest seaport that supports ships from 15 cruise lines with 800,000 passengers.There have been major recent deliveries including an outdoor mall in 2017.
In the suburban community of Tsawwassen in southwest Delta, the 350,000-SF initial phase of Tsawwassen Commons opened with Walmart, Canadian Tire, Rona, HomeSense, Petsmart, Staples, Mark’s Dollarama and Nando’s. Planned for 550,000 SF off Highway 17. The development is on Tsawwassen First Nation’s Land and within greater Vancouver.
The new outdoor center is adjacent to Tsawwassen Mills, a 1.2-million-SF mall that attracted 284,000 shoppers over the fi rst six days of its late 2016 opening. Its anchor tenants include Bass Pro Shops, Marshalls, Saks Off 5th, Old Navy, H&M, Winners, Pro Hockey Life, Forever 21, Sport Chek, DSW Inc. and Roots Canada.

Centre in West Vancouver, were reporting increased foot traffi c in 2017 and each has expansions and renovations planned or underway.
With about 150 tenants, Oakridge Centre at West 41st Avenue and Cambie Street is anchored by Safeway and Hudson’s Bay. Oakridge Centre, the shooting location for the 1980s TV series 21 Jump Street, was renovated in 2014 and is at the center of the high-density residential Oakridge Municipal Towncentre Project.
Park Royal Shopping Centre in West Vancouver with 1.4 million SF was Canada’s fi rst covered shopping mall. North Mall anchor tenants include H&M, Hudson’s Bay and London Drugs. South Mall anchors are Best Buy, Indigo Books, La Maison Simons, Osaka Supermarket and Staples.
The metro’s largest transaction in 2017 was Cadillac Fairview’s sale of half interest in its 4-million-SF portfolio downtown portfolio that includes the 1.6-million-SF Pacifi c Centre and 12 offi ce downtown offi ce properties. Cadillac Fairview is owned by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. No terms were disclosed in the sale to the Ontario Pension Board and Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. But the transaction among the public pension funds makes it likely the assets carried a healthy valuation, which supports market confi dence.
Also notable in the Vancouver market in 2017 was the western Canadian debut of two Japanese-owned brands. Both leased space at Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby. Uniqlo, a global casual apparel retailer with 1,800 stores, leased 20,630 SF. Muji, which sells furniture, appliances, stationery and apparel with 800 stores worldwide, leased 7,700 SF.
