Restaurants Execute Expansion Plans with Measured Approaches

by Sarah Daniels November 19, 2024

To say that the restaurant industry is sending mixed signals could be the understatement of the year. The National Restaurant Association expected restaurant sales in 2024 to top $1 trillion for the first time ever. But as the year has progressed, the number of operators who anticipated sales growth in the coming months dipped to 28 percent in August from 40 percent in April amid inflation and economic uncertainty, according to the organization’s latest performance index survey. At the same time, the fortunes of the major restaurant segments are largely …

Retail Experts Employ Creative Solutions in Tight Property Market

by Sarah Daniels September 30, 2024

High occupancy rates and prohibitive development costs continue to challenge expansion-minded retailers. Only 4.5 percent of total retail space in the United States was available for lease at the end of August, according to CoStar Group. That represents a 35 percent reduction in retail availability over the past decade amid greater absorption and space being removed from the market. Combined with limited new shopping center development over the past 15 years, the tight conditions are pushing retail real estate experts to get creative when searching for ways to help brands …

Faris Lee Investments: The Time to Buy and Sell is Now

by Sarah Daniels September 17, 2024

Finding the ideal time to buy or sell a retail investment is next to impossible. This task seems to be made even harder as sellers long for the prices and demand of 2020 and 2021, while buyers wish for the interest rates associated with that time period. But the past is the past. Retail investors can engage in shoulda, woulda, coulda until the cows come home, but it’s not a productive exercise. What is productive is operating with today’s fundamentals in mind. Part of doing that, notes Shaun Riley, Jeff …

Excess Real Estate Can Become a Boon for Retailers in a Tight Market

by Sarah Daniels July 25, 2024

Store closures have been making headlines — from drugstores to restaurants and big box retailers. While some worry this is a sign of a slowing retail market, disposing of excess space quickly at the right price saves companies valuable time and money. Closures are not limited to retailers that are struggling — healthy retailers and restaurants shutter locations where their prototype may have evolved or the demographic makeup of the neighborhood has shifted. Mark Reeder, executive vice president at SRS Real Estate Partners, has provided disposition solutions for national retailers …

Faris Lee: Sales Success Strategies in a Challenging Market

by Sarah Daniels May 7, 2024

Don MacLellan, managing principal at Faris Lee Investments in Irvine, Calif., knows it’s a challenging market. “Deal volume is off 40-60 percent from two years ago,” he says. “Back then, there was so much deal momentum because demand was so much higher than supply. Now, it’s the opposite, and due to lower transaction volume, 1031 demand is off significantly. So, the question becomes, how do you create strong demand with fewer 1031 exchange requirements?” It’s a question MacLellan and his fellow Faris Lee managing principals Jeff Conover and Shaun Riley …
