Investors Are Hungry for Retail Deals, But Not Enough Assets Are for Sale to Satisfy Appetite

by Kristin Harlow October 13, 2026

A lack of quality inventory is one of the prominent factors shaping the retail investment sales landscape. Simply put, there is more capital seeking retail opportunities than there are assets available for purchase, says Michael Marks, executive director of retail capital markets with Cushman & Wakefield in Chicago. Strong leasing activity and rising rents are bolstering investor confidence in the retail market, he adds. Amid historically low vacancy, U.S. retail asking rents grew 2.2 percent year-over-year to $25.65 per square foot triple net, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s second-quarter report. Structural supply constraints continue to support sustained rent growth, as the development pipeline represents less than 0.3 percent of existing inventory. Retail investors are firmly in acquisition mode, according to JLL’s second-quarter U.S. report. In the first half of the year, retail investment sales volume reached $33 billion, up 14 percent year-over-year and the strongest first half since 2022. Evan Lyons, executive vice president with West Bloomfield, Michigan-based Encore Real Estate Investment Services, poses the question — where does the next wave of inventory for transactions come from? “Some will come naturally through ownership transitions, partnership changes, fund lifecycles and other reasons investors need to sell,” predicts Lyons. “Debt maturities …

Strong Tenant Sales Keep Philadelphia Retail Market Humming

by Taylor Williams October 13, 2026

By Taylor Williams “People are still spending money.” That’s what Nick Skeparnias, principal at Agora Commercial Realty Partners, a full-service advisory and development firm, identifies as the single-biggest point of optimism about the state of the greater Philadelphia retail market. According to data from the U.S. Commerce Department, U.S. retail sales totaled roughly $774 billion in August, a 1.2 percent increase over the previous month. The Wall Street Journal also reports that spending in discretionary categories of retail, namely electronics and appliances, rose by 1.6 percent in August versus July. And according to both The Journal and Breitbart, the actual volume of retail sales in August exceeded economists’ expectations by anywhere from 40 to 70 basis points. Within Skeparnias’ simple, five-word declarative statement, there’s no question that “still” is the operative term. “Retail is only as good as the money that people have to spend on it,” he elaborates. “So when you consider the biggest concerns for this asset class, there’s nothing specific to retail itself, but issues that are more global. There’s always going to be something at the retail level; first it was e-commerce, then COVID-19. Now we have AI [artificial intelligence], and if that starts taking people’s …
