From Tom Vincent, CCIM - Chicago, IL | ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com recently reported on the vacancy rate for local retail properties and a rise to 12.1% in the first quarter, up from 11.9% - its highest level since at least the mid - ’90s.
The bright spot: “…in a sign that the woes of the retail real estate market may be easing, landlords’ average asking rents rose by a penny during the first quarter, the first such increase in six quarters.” Even though they are still about 1/3 off their peak, “…the smallest increase in rents may be a sign that the market is poised for a recovery.”

From Walt Arnold, CCIM, SIOR - Albuquerque, NM
 Sperry Van Ness brokers Art Paterson and Greg Linde in our office recently assisted Shoe Box in relocating to 4850 Lincoln Road, under 13,500 sqft.
While many corporate retailers are downsizing, theShoe Box have expanded into 13,500 square feet at 4850 Lincoln Road NE, just north of I-25 and Montgomery on Pan American Fwy. They offer wholesale pricing on shoes and accessories to the general public. Partner Greg Stovall credits their success to being able to offer the latest shoe fashions at warehouse pricing. The move was not only to increase exposure from I-25 but make access more convenient for his customers.

It’s always a good time to buy commercial real estate…really!
The law of supply and demand is changing, more inventory, lower prices right, not exactly! The commercial real estate market has plenty of inventories, but just not yet priced right for bargain hunters. The combination of more commercial real estate inventory on the market coupled with improved financing terms and fewer buyers will create the perfect buying storm!
Why? Although there are plenty of commercial inventories on the market, there are fewer investors buying and seller’s motivations are short of buyer’s expectations.
