Marcus & Millichap Brokers Sale of New McDonald’s Restaurant in Ringgold, Georgia

by John Nelson October 1, 2026

RINGGOLD, GA. — Marcus & Millichap’s Taylor McMinn Retail Group has brokered the sale of a newly built McDonald’s restaurant located in Ringgold, a Georgia suburb of Chattanooga, Tenn. The restaurant was delivered earlier this year and features a 20-year lease with 7.5 percent rent increases in the initial term and extension options. Don McMinn and Andrew Koriwchak of the Taylor McMinn Retail Group brokered the transaction. An all-cash buyer purchased the restaurant from the seller, a repeat developer of McDonald’s, in a 1031 exchange. The sales price was not disclosed. “Lower-priced, well-located properties with strong credit continue to command aggressive pricing despite market challenges,” says McMinn. “We secured an offer within 48 hours and closed near list price — proof that price point matters as much as credit in today’s market.”

The Great Cap Rate Puzzle: Rethinking How Net Lease Real Estate Responds to Interest Rates

by John Nelson October 1, 2026

By Jeff Lefko of Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors For much of the last few decades, commercial real estate investors have operated under a simple assumption: interest rates rise, and cap rates rise with them. It is a straightforward relationship: intuitive, widely accepted and deeply embedded in underwriting models and investment committee discussions across the industry. Yet in the net lease sector, the connection between interest rates and cap rates has been far less direct than many believe. Since early 2022, the Federal Reserve has increased short‑term rates by more than 500 basis points, the fastest tightening cycle in four decades. Longer‑term borrowing costs remain elevated compared to the ultra-low-rate era of 2020 and 2021, even after the Fed’s rate cuts through 2025. Conventional thinking suggests net lease cap rates should have expanded sharply. Instead, cap rates across much of the single-tenant and multi-tenant net lease market have risen only modestly relative to the scale of the rate increases. There has been movement in certain segments, particularly in secondary markets, shorter lease terms and lower credit tenants, but the broader market has moved far less than the headline rate increases alone would suggest. This raises an important question for …

Richmond Retail Continues to Shine as Leasing, Investment Activity Remain Strong

by John Nelson September 28, 2026

Richmond’s retail market continues to be one of the bright spots in commercial real estate, and it’s not difficult to understand why. While many markets across the country are still working through elevated vacancies and changing consumer habits, Richmond continues to benefit from steady population growth, a diverse economy and a retail inventory that remains remarkably full. Retailers continue to expand here. Investors continue to buy here. And perhaps most importantly, consumers continue to support both national brands and local businesses in a meaningful way. The result is a market that feels healthy, active and well-positioned for future growth. Quality space is hard to find If there’s one thing everyone in can agree on today, it’s that quality retail space is increasingly difficult to find in Richmond. Vacancy throughout the region remains exceptionally low, particularly in established corridors, hovering at around 3.6 percent in the second quarter. Areas like Short Pump, Midlothian and many neighborhood shopping center locations continue to operate with very little available inventory, creating a competitive environment for retailers looking to enter the market or expand existing operations. This has caused rents to continue to trend upward, leaving the landlord with the upper hand. The interesting part …

Denver’s Retail Market Is at a Crossroads

by John Nelson September 25, 2026

— By Tony Pierangeli of SRS Real Estate Partners — On the surface, Denver’s retail real estate market looks healthy. Vacancy remains low, rents have held firm and investment activity has strengthened. Industry sources reported a vacancy rate between 4 percent and 5 percent in the second quarter of 2026. The market has recently added a couple of new-to-market retailers, and grocery remains one of the most active and consistent segments. Grocery-anchored centers, convenience-oriented retail and quick-service concepts continue to expand, providing a strong foundation for the market. But the statistics don’t tell the entire story. Beneath the surface, a growing number of retailers, developers and landlords are confronted with a fundamental challenge: the economics of new retail development have become increasingly difficult to pencil. Construction costs remain elevated, municipal fees have increased, financing remains expensive, and protracted zoning and permitting processes add significant time and uncertainty to a project. Colorado’s property tax structure can also contribute to high triple-net expenses for retailers. At the same time, state and local requirements related to electrification, EV charging, composting and higher wages can add to operating and development costs, making the market less competitive for some concepts. The result is a market …
