1 2019 SHOPPING CENTER REPORT

2 2019 SHOPPING CENTER REPORT Written by Andy Bulson, Principal Ground up development hit yet another new all-time low in 2018 with only 870,600 square feet of new construction space opening and a projection of even less in At the same time, there are several junior anchor and anchor-sized retailers expanding. However, this demand is being met by retailers who can re-use existing vacant boxes which contributes to ground up construction starts being very low. GROCERY STORES ARE STILL ACTIVE 2018 saw the opening of Melody Farms, a 252,000 square foot Whole Foods anchored shopping center developed by Regency Centers. This project personifies the sense of place developers of successful projects around the country are trying to create. In addition to the upscale grocer and merchants, the property includes unique art pieces and well thought out public spaces with appealing landscape design. This creates an important social experiential shopping environment that contrasts greatly with solitary one click at home buying. The 2018 grand opening of the Mariano s in Crystal Lake may very well conclude the eightyear rollout of this 44-store chain now owned by Kroger. Future growth plans for the chain have not been divulged by Kroger but all indications suggest nominal to no growth for the once heralded grocery operator. Woodman s debuted yet another new store in Buffalo Grove which is the first of three stores to open in a recent expansion push for the Wisconsin-based grocer. Future openings are slated for Lakemoor and Bloomingdale, which is slightly reduced from the other expansion markets Woodman s was once pursuing. FITNESS CENTERS RESHAPING SHOPPING CENTERS The fitness category is still very active with LA Fitness, Lifetime Fitness and more recently 24 Hour Fitness all competing for market share in the full service club category. LA Fitness has been the market leader and their aggressive growth plans continue despite the competition. Large scale fitness operators are no longer viewed as an undesirable, overly parking intensive use that shopping center owners once avoided. Perhaps this is in part a result of the overall low demand for big box retail which leaves few alternatives for landlords. Shopping Center Development

3 2019 SHOPPING CENTER REPORT THE CITY IS STILL HOT Target Express continues its growth in the city and urban areas, often providing the highly desirable first floor retail use so coveted by mixed use developers. All the while, Target s expansion of their full line Target stores is non-existent in the Chicago market. Demand for retail development within the City of Chicago remains strong but barriers to entry result in very little supply of big box or junior box availability. OTHER FACTORS IMPACT THE MARKET Soring construction costs create additional negative pressure on retail development and have resulted in a staggering reduction in the value of vacant space on both a leasehold and sale basis. With suburban populations on the decline retailers are rethinking the numbers of stores needed as well as the size of these stores. Right-sizing and consolidations in store networks are likely to continue. THE FUTURE OF RETAIL Brick and mortar retail is most certainly evolving but is by no means going away. Experiential, entertainment, medical, fitness and grocery operators are combining to re-craft the shopping center experience for consumers. Retailers are working to generate a halo effect in sales increases resulting from a successful omni channel approach that integrates home delivery, in store pick-up, brick and mortar locations and online presence giving consumers multiple channels from which purchases can be made and product fulfillment can take place.
