Although not immune to some of these challenges, the Manhattan retail environment has enjoyed much activity during the second half of 2016 and the first part of 2017. To be sure, some submarkets and certain retail corridors have seen an increase in vacancies and a corresponding fall in asking rents. However, a number of new retailers have entered the market and certain strong retail brands have right-sized or repositioned themselves in the market. One high-profile shopping center opened its doors, and there is considerable retail development underway. It’s a big story but here are some highlights. Lower Manhattan There has been considerable focus on Lower Manhattan in the past several years, and this continues.

This multi-level project contains an assortment of national and international tenants, including fast fashion and better retail stores, such as Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, H&M, John Varvatos and London Jewelers.

Will CMBS Lenders and Borrowers Adapt to the Shifting Retail Landscape?

by Taylor Williams May 16, 2017

Over the past two years, quarterly earnings results that followed holiday shopping seasons have come with a side of fresh store closures as well as new bankruptcy filings by major retailers. In the first few weeks of 2017 alone, long-established chains such as RadioShack, JCPenney, Macy’s, CVS, and Gordmans announced plans to shutter hundreds of underperforming store locations from their portfolios, putting added pressure on numerous commercial real estate landlords and mall center operators. The trend reflects the ongoing effort of retailers to reduce costs and focus on new showrooming and omnichannel strategies that better cater to the purchasing tendencies of today’s consumers, a sizable portion of which includes millennials. The confluence of e-commerce, changing consumer shopping habits, and new technological enhancements has shifted the retail landscape away from traditional uses of large physical footprints and the one-dimensional approach to sales as discount, experiential, and specialty retailers continue to rise in popularity.
