Nashville Retail Market’s Investment Sales, Leasing Activity Defy Pandemic Impact

by John Nelson April 5, 2021

In spite of national trends, news of spiking default rates and a prediction of a national decline in retail tenancy, the middle Tennessee region appears to be emerging in equal (or better) condition from one of the most unusual years in history. Prior to the government-mandated shutdowns last year, retail activity in Nashville was at a fever pitch. A decade of year-over-year population and economic growth created a strong seller’s and landlord’s market, with no end in sight. The University of Tennessee’s Boyd Center for Business and Economic Research projected a 1 million-person population growth for Middle Tennessee by 2040. This strong, sustained growth pushed retail rents up more than 50 percent since 2010 and represents one of the largest cumulative increases in the nation, behind only Miami and Austin. In 2019, the Nashville region saw asking rents above the national average, according to CoStar Group. One year ago, the sudden and unexpected COVID-19 shutdowns made the collective hearts of 2008 survivors skip a beat. A real concern of what the next week or month might look like hit both landlords and tenants in the region, particularly in the downtown retail district that is historically reliant on tourism.

US Economy Adds 916,000 Jobs in March, Unemployment Rate Down to 6 Percent

by Julia Sanders April 2, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. economy added 916,000 jobs in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported Friday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected the report to show a gain of 675,000 jobs, and this increase was the largest spike seen since August 2020. The unemployment rate fell to 6 percent in March. Revisions added 156,000 jobs to the totals for January and February. This growth follows the widespread administration of the COVID-19 vaccines and President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package. However, there is still about 5 million less Americans who are working this year compared to a year ago. Additionally, economists surveyed by CNBC are worried about inflation due to the government stimulus money. Over the past year, the hospitality and entertainment industries have been among the hardest hit job sectors, but with less government restrictions, these industries have been able to recover. The leisure and hospitality sector saw the most growth in March with 280,000 new jobs. With lessening pandemic restrictions, restaurants and bars are starting to open back up to more people. Restaurants and bars saw 176,000 jobs added to their sector as well. The hospitality and leisure sector, however, still is 3.1 million …
