NORTH DECATUR, GA. AND CRESTWOOD, MO. — Real estate developer EDENS and the City of Crestwood have separately announced two massive mall redevelopment projects in the Atlanta and St. Louis metropolitan areas, respectively. The redevelopment of Class B malls into mixed-use, open-air centers has continued to grow in popularity as shopping center owners and operators look to compete with e-commerce through the delivery of thoughtful spaces that provide an experience for visitors. North Dekalb Mall EDENS purchased North Dekalb Mall last year with plans to redevelop the property into a mixed-use project. This week, a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) application was filed with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs detailing plans for the project.

By Philip Levy, senior managing director, investments, Marcus & Millichap The Dallas retail climate is more favorable entering 2022 than it has been for most of the COVID-19 crisis. Overall, the marketwide retail vacancy rate fell 50 basis points during the first three quarters of 2021, ending at an even 6 percent in September. Nevertheless, that rate is about 100 basis points above the pre-pandemic level. A strong rebound in tenant demand is helping lower vacancy, however, with net absorption across the opening nine months of 2021 totaling more than 2.2 million square feet, compared with a net loss of 1.5 million square feet in 2020. Additionally, the construction pipeline has shrunk considerably, helping mitigate supply-side pressure as the market bounces back. As of the fourth quarter of 2021, less than 1 million square feet of new retail product with an expected completion date in 2022 was under construction in the greater Dallas area. This is a sharp contrast to the 2 million-plus square feet that developers delivered in each year between 2014 and 2020. Strengthening demand drivers amid a reduction in development suggest that downward pressure on vacancy will continue in the coming quarters. New Households Spend Near-term uncertainty …
