Suburban Momentum Reshapes Milwaukee’s Retail Landscape

by Kristin Harlow June 18, 2026

By Brian Vanevenhoven and Joseph Ziolkowski, Newmark The metro Milwaukee retail market remains strong, supported by historically low vacancy rates. Elevated construction costs — and the resulting pressure on rents — continue to limit new construction, keeping inventory low and occupancy high. The western suburbs have the lowest vacancies in the region and are seeing robust demand for available space. While the urban core continues to face challenges, the Historic Third Ward remains a bright spot, benefiting from favorable demographics and a cultivated consumer base driving strong retail sales. Recent data underscores this trend. While Milwaukee County saw modest population growth in 2025, surrounding suburban counties are expanding at a faster pace, according to CoStar Group. Waukesha County alone has added more than 10,000 residents since 2020, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This outward migration — driven by affordability, schools and lifestyle preferences — is creating new pockets of retail demand across the metro area. Drivers of growth Several factors are fueling suburban retail expansion. The continued strength of experiential retail, particularly in the fitness and wellness sector, is the most notable driver. Concepts such as Crunch Fitness and Planet Fitness have been among the most active tenants, …

During his keynote address at InterFace I-85 Industrial Corridor, a two-day conference held May 19-20 at the Hilton Uptown Charlotte, Gregg Healy, executive vice president and head of industrial services at Savills, shared a quote from Charles Darwin to end his presentation. “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most adaptable to change.” Editor’s note: InterFace Conference Group, a division of France Media Inc., produces networking and educational conferences for commercial real estate executives. To sign up for email announcements about specific events, visit www.interfaceconferencegroup.com/subscribe. Industrial owners and developers have had to be adaptable given the haymakers issued by macroeconomic forces the past several years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they rode the reinvigorated demand wave for e-commerce fulfillment with large-scale developments in key transportation corridors. In the following years, they scaled down their pipelines to focus on smaller, more targeted requirements as construction and capital costs rose significantly. And since Liberation Day, when the Trump administration declared a sweeping package of tariffs for foreign trade partners and specific commodities in April 2025, industrial developers have been building and leasing facilities for domestic and global manufacturers that were nearshoring their investments.

The Best Multifamily Deals in Texas Aren’t Where You Think

by Taylor Williams June 18, 2026

By Alan Stalcup, founder, CEO, GVA Real Estate Austin’s apartment inventory grew 33 percent from 2020 to 2025, according to data from Marcus & Millichap — the fastest rate in the country. In addition, data from CoStar Group and the U.S. Census Bureau show that vacancy is sitting at 14 percent, roughly double the national average. That’s what happens when every investor in America chases the same story at the same time. Austin isn’t a bad market. It’s a great city. But the math doesn’t work right now. When vacancy is 14 percent and new supply keeps getting added, buyers aren’t buying yield; they’re buying a prayer. The opportunities in Texas didn’t disappear; they moved. And they moved to places most investors aren’t looking. The Places Nobody’s Watching The Rio Grande Valley has between 1.4 and 1.5 million people, according to Census data. That’s not a small market. It’s a large, underfollowed one. McAllen, Harlingen, Brownsville — these cities have real population bases, stable renter demand and almost no institutional competition. Rents sit around $700 per month. GVA has been pushing $240 increases — roughly 30 percent — with light improvements. Not gut renovations or repositionings of assets, just new …
