Where Inflation and Retail Create CRE Wins
Despite challenges like 18% office vacancies (CBRE) and tariff pressures (ending August 2025), this week’s data points to profit zones—discuss these with your CPA or advisor:
Suburban Retail: Retail Sales (0.5%) and Consumer Sentiment (61.8%) build on July’s Consumer Confidence (97.2), driving leasing in Sun Belt strips (6% vacancy, CBRE).
Industrial Warehouses: Industrial Production (0.0%) and NFIB Optimism Index (99.0) signal steady demand for logistics and data centers (51M sq ft added since 2023, Commercial Edge).
Multifamily Properties: CPI (2.8% y/y) and Core CPI (3.1% y/y) reflect renter demand pressures, with 90%+ occupancy (CBRE) in key markets.
Tertiary Offices: NFIB Optimism Index (99.0) and Initial Jobless Claims (229,000) fuel small business leasing in undervalued markets (7%–8% cap rates, CBRE).
Tuesday’s CPI and Friday’s Retail Sales will clarify inflation and consumer trends, while Fed speeches (Barkin, Goolsbee, Bostic) signal financing conditions. Ready to invest? Call David Goldman to target your market.
