We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of the top retail leases signed by square footage in South Florida during Q4 2018. Some big brand tenants that inked leases include: Dollar General, Marshall’s, Aldi Supermarket, and Planet Fitness.
While the headlines are focused on the challenges and closures of major chains such as Toys “R” Us, Sears, Macy’s, and J.C. Penny, the retail leasing market in South Florida is stable as evidenced by some major leases signed in the 4th quarter and new retailers entering the market.
The retail landscape in South Florida remains strong and we have a positive outlook for 2019. Absorption has remained positive throughout Miami-Dade and Broward, as we have seen high demand from many new to market retailers and relatively low supply due to a lack of new construction deliveries. We expect rents to taper off slightly as the roughly 5M SF of new retail under construction is delivered, however are seeing strong activity in the pre-leasing at many of the new construction projects.”

South Florida Q3 2018 As Seen By CRE Professionals
Industry executives gathered at the Commercial Conference & Expo 2018 on October 19th, hosted by the Miami Association of Realtors, to discuss trends and state of the market. Interesting panelist comments included:
The reality is retail vacancy in South Florida is 4%. Nationwide, the retail landscape is different, but even then you’ve had more business open than close in the last year.”
– Rafael Romero, Vice President, CREC
On a national level, the reality is 12,000 new stores opened versus 8,000 closed in the last year. There are head winds no doubt – interest rates are up, construction costs are up, but in many ways that tempers development and the amount of space coming on the market, which is not necessarily a bad thing.”
