The U.S. retail market is stabilizing and evolving. In Q3 2025, it recorded +4.7M sq ft net absorption, rebounding after two quarters of decline. Construction remains at historic lows, while demolitions continue to remove outdated space. Quick-service restaurants and dollar stores are leading new openings with smaller, nimble footprints, and service-based retailers—like F&B, fitness, and healthcare—are growing fast. Vacant spaces are leasing quickly, with 1/3 of deals signed within 5 months and half within 10 months. Retail investment is also rising, especially for high-quality, well-located assets. The takeaway? Retail isn’t slowing—it’s tightening, shifting toward services, and becoming more competitive than ever.
