Woodmont’s Meno: Store Closures Are Painful, But Necessary for Retail Sector’s Long-Term Health

by Taylor Williams May 28, 2019

LAS VEGAS — As president and CEO of asset services at The Woodmont Company — which manages about 18.5 million square feet of retail centers, enclosed regional malls and outlet centers almost exclusively on a third-party basis — Fred Meno has had a front-row seat to the store closures and retail repurposing projects that have defined the market in the e-commerce era. Meno, whose company is based in Fort Worth, specializes in work that has afforded him the opportunity to see the big picture, to grasp the most in-depth reasons behind why certain retail categories are failing and why others are thriving. In some cases, that’s a factor of what types of retail uses are featured in certain types of properties. In others, it’s a matter of the retailer entering into a highly leveraged buyout deal to appease shareholders and gain additional time to right-size its stores and reshape its strategy. Sometimes it’s a simple matter of not adapting quickly enough to game-changing technology that can take the industry by storm. REBusinessonline.com sat down with Meno last week in Las Vegas during RECon, which attracted more than 30,000 retail real estate professionals, to pick his brain on what the future …

Strong Metro Economies Drive Retail Market Growth in Texas

by Taylor Williams May 28, 2019

If you want to understand the state of Texas’ retail market as of the first quarter of 2019, just look at the numbers. In terms of jobs, Texas is on track to add 191,000 net new jobs this year, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Much of that growth will be in our major metro markets of Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Houston and San Antonio. In Austin, for example, unemployment stood at an extremely low 2.7 percent as of March 2019. DFW’s rate is a healthy 3.3 percent; Houston’s is 3.7 percent and San Antonio’s is 3.1 percent. All of these rates are considered strong. Population growth is a big driver of retail demand and in terms of this metric, all of our major Texas metros are national leaders. The country has only 11 cities with 1 million people or more within city limits. Three of those — Dallas, Houston and San Antonio — are in Texas. And by 2020, Austin is on track to be the fourth. This healthy job and population growth are big drivers for our retail markets. Plus, near-record-low development at a time of steady demand is driving expanding concepts to lease in existing …
