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

John Nelson — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:45:00 +0000

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…

Richmond Multifamily Market Moves Up Investors’ Target Lists

John Nelson — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:53:00 +0000

For years, Richmond occupied an interesting position in the Mid-Atlantic multifamily landscape: large enough to attract institutional capital, but often overshadowed by bigger markets such as Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. That is changing. Richmond has moved considerably higher on investors’ target lists over the past several years, initially propelled by the migration patterns that emerged during the pandemic. People flocked to Richmond for its relatively affordable housing and quality of life. While that migration isn’t occurring at COVID-era levels today, those fundamentals remain. Increasingly, investors are recognizing that Richmond offers something particularly valuable in the current environment: attractive yield in a market where pricing has not necessarily caught up with the underlying fundamentals. Fundamentals hold up Richmond’s multifamily market is absorbing a meaningful amount of new supply while continuing to generate rent growth. Effective rents reached $1,658 at midyear, representing 4.1 percent growth, while occupancy stood at approximately 94 percent, according to Pyxis. The market absorbed 2,733 units over the previous 12 months, according to research from CoStar Group. Those numbers are particularly noteworthy given the recent construction cycle. Nearly 7,000 units were completed during the past 12 months. Another 5,736 are expected during the coming year, according to…

Richmond Industrial Real Estate: A Market Maturing Into Its Next Phase

John Nelson — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:50:00 +0000

Richmond’s industrial real estate market has changed considerably over the past several years. What was once a relatively quiet Mid-Atlantic logistics market became one of the country’s most competitive industrial markets during the pandemic. Record leasing activity, limited availability and rapidly rising rents attracted developers and institutional capital from across the country. Today, the market is more balanced — and, in my opinion, healthier. The fundamentals remain strong, but the days of putting a sign on a warehouse and watching tenants compete for the space are behind us. For owners, developers and investors, success in Richmond’s industrial market now requires a much closer look at location, building functionality, basis and tenant demand. The numbers tell the story. Richmond entered the second half of 2026 with an industrial vacancy rate of approximately 5.5 percent, according to CBRE, while the market posted positive net absorption of 136,000 square feet during the second quarter. Average asking rents reached $8.86 per square foot, up 2.4 percent from the prior quarter. At the same time, the development pipeline has grown to approximately 12.6 million square feet under construction, of which approximately 3.9 million are speculative projects. That amount of new supply deserves attention. Richmond has…
