Public and Private Partnerships Prove Positively Productive for Memphis Retailers

by John Nelson April 5, 2015

By the numbers, 2014 was a pretty good year for the Memphis retail market. With over seven million square feet of rentable retail space, the overall vacancy rate decreased roughly one percent since the end of 2013 while rental rates were relatively flat. Not bad. Not great either. It is important to note, however, that Memphis retail is not classified into A, B and C properties like their office and industrial counterparts, so we don’t often get an accurate snapshot of the market’s product availability. The truth is that Memphis is simply running out of space – desirable Class A space, that is. Because of this lack of available product, new construction is once again on the rise, as is redevelopment of existing structures within the city’s urban core. The good news doesn’t stop there. The willingness of local government entities to support development progress has proven to be instrumental to some very key wins for the Memphis MSA. This January, Tanger Outlets, a major player in the outlet mall industry, confirmed that it would partner with Poag Shopping Centers to develop a 310,000-square-foot outlet center in Southaven, Mississippi. Southaven and DeSoto County officials approved a $15 million tax increment …

Waco’s Retail Marches Down I-35, and Texas Takes Notice

by Haisten Willis April 3, 2015

In stark contrast to past years when motorists would fly through Waco on I-35 wondering if anything was happening in this town, the dramatic Twin Signature Bridges across the Brazos River now sit majestically with the backdrop of Baylor University’s brand-new, $325 million McLane Stadium. However, it has become abundantly clear that the stadium is not the only big thing happening in Waco. Anyone who has driven the stretch of I-35 that passes through Waco in the past 24 months has undoubtedly noticed quite a bit of new construction, demolition and site clearing for even more commercial construction. Leading the way is the dramatic increase of national restaurants and retailers that have made their presence known to everyone who used to drive right through, but who now stop, eat and shop in Waco. A primary catalyst of this rise in retail activity has been the release of property along I-35 formerly owned by the Waco Independent School District (ISD). “We witnessed a surge in demand for retail sites along the I-35 Corridor in 2013,” says Jim Peevey, CCIM, a local broker with Central Texas Commercial. “My partner, Andy Sheehy, and I represented Waco ISD in selling three surplus properties on …
