With Development Largely Restricted to Outlet Centers and Mixed-Use Infill Projects in CBDs, Many Retailers Left With Fewer Viable Options to Expand

The U.S. retail real estate vacancy rate drifted down another 10 basis points to 6.1% in the second quarter -- the 12th consecutive quarter of vacancy decline. The retail vacancy rate has already dropped below pre-recession lows in major metros like Boston, New York, and Denver, and demand remains solid despite continued store closings by Sears, Kmart, The Gap, Office Depot, Staples, Macys and even grocer A&P.

As tight as the market feels with the national vacancy rate just 10 basis points shy of its previous cyclical low in 2007, CoStar senior real estate economist Ryan McCullough argues that its even tighter today than at the height of the boom eight years ago.

Today, only 60 million square feet of new retail space is under construction, compared with 150 million square feet that was under construction in 2007 when developers were building or expanding power centers, malls and shopping centers in pursuit of population growth in the suburban fringes.

"You really have far fewer options if youre a retail tenant in todays market, and thats really starting to wear on the demand numbers," said McCullough, who joined Suzanne Mulvee, director of U.S. Retail Research for CoStar Portfolio Strategy, in presenting CoStar's Midyear 2015 Retail Market Review and Forecast. "Whats holding back a lot of tenants today is the scarcity of available supply in good locations with strong demographics."

Tenants absorbed about 32 million square feet at mid-year 2015, compared to 37 million square feet in first half of 2014. The declining absorption numbers in recent quarters are a logical consequence of the lack of available space, rather than declining tenant demand, McCullough said. Until more new supply enters the market, demand is likely to be reflected in terms of higher rent growth rates, he added. Despite the limited supply of available space, the market is still experiencing a bit of opportunistic leasing and store openings by retailers like Wal-Mart, Dollar General and Dicks Sporting Goods, which can be productive in somewhat less attractive locations. McCullough expects such activity will likely dominate retail expansion until new shopping center supply ramps up.

Meanwhile, store closures continue to provide an alternative source of space as stores are eventually shuttered and the space returned to the market.

Office Depot, confronting an 8% same-store sales decline in the second quarter, said Tuesday it would accelerate its store closure plan. The Boca Raton, FL-based retailer now expects to close 175 stores this year and at least 60 in 2016, for a total reduction of 400 stores by the end of next year.

One new twist in the store closure trend is a recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by grocery chain Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P) which is selling or closing all 300 stores in six Mid-Atlantic States.

However, A&Ps strong store portfolio has an average of $2.5 billion in buying power based on demographics within a three-mile trade area. In contrast, Stop & Shops more than 100 stores have $1.5 billion in buying power, while Shoprites 70 stores come in at $1.8 billion.

"Its no wonder than nearly three-quarter of A&Ps planned closures have already been grabbed by Shoprite and Stop and Shop," Mulvee said, referring to the chains plan to sell 120 stores to the rivals for $600 million.

Development is focused around mixed-use single-tenant projects in urban centers, unlike previous construction cycles where retail expanded into suburban markets. Supply constrained markets like Honolulu, New York City and Miami are seeing the strongest levels of new supply.

"This is the type of space that retailers are demanding, so its worthwhile for developers to push through entitlement issues into traditionally difficult markets," McCullough said.

Conversely, markets like Phoenix, Austin and the Inland Empire that dominated the last construction cycle are seeing a fraction of the activity this time around, Mulvee added.

"Part of the reason deliveries are so limited today is because there is a mismatch currently between where its easier to build retail space and where people and their incomes are concentrating," Mulvee said.

Rent growth continues to hold at about 3% annually, mild compared to last cycle, although denser urban areas seeing rent growth of upwards of 7%, while suburban markets where vacancy overhang remains are seeing little rent growth.

Ocean Seven Roofing has installed quality foam roofing and general roofing types under the same ownership and management since 1997 in Southern California.

Roofing is a very important part of your home, and spray foam insulation is an ideal alternative to traditional roofing. Spray foam is also a way to repair or improve many issues within your home. It is an excellent application for tanks, freezers, coolers, piping, ductwork, as well as odd jobs. Spray foam is the future of insulation in all areas of your home including attics and walls but it must be done properly.

Foam roof insulation is a polyurethane foam product which is applied directly onto the existing roof of your house/building.Because foam roofing is liquid polyurethane, it spreads easily onto, and adheres permanently to any surface, including concrete, metal and asphalt. Foam roofing will help reduce the costs of roof replacement by preserving an existing roof design. While foam roofing is durable and long lasting, the application process is delicate and must be done by a qualified, highly-trained, roofing expert.

Spray foam is a cost effective alternative, and a sustainable option that gives years and years of wear and tear to your roof. Spray foam is a complete barrier to air, moisture and pollutants, and is watertight within 30 seconds of application, offering complete protection to every room in your home. Spray foam can be applied to flat, pitched, saw-toothed and domed roofs, as well as roofs having unusual slopes or configurations. Because spray foam is so effective at solving these generally difficult roofing issues, it allows your roof to be applied with a minimum of inconvenience, mess and disruption to you.

Spray foam is a new and better insulator than many people realize. It is over three times stronger than the standard fiberglass insulation material, and has been proven to resist winds blowing at over two hundred miles an hour.

Ocean Seven Roofing are the Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura County, and Southern California spray foam specialists. Their expertise can help you resolve any roofing or insulation issue, and provide comfort and peace of mind for years to come.

It's true. No other furniture in your home gets more use than your kitchen cupboards. Over the course of an average day, the doors get opened and shut many times. Over a period of years, this can lead to the loss of the original finish around the handles, especially if they are natural wood doors and drawer fronts. But, what about the boxes of your cabinets? They hardly get any wear. That's a good thing. Because replacing the boxes would be hard. Replacing the doors, however, is another story all together. Do-it-yourself kitchen cabinet refacing, because it takes little skill or special tools, is a very popular solution.

Just removing and replacing your existing kitchen doors and ignoring the boxes is the easiest way. If the stiles, rails and box sides still look good, just order doors that match your existing finish to bring your old kitchen back to life.

Another way is to create the modern European look that has been so popular. Use our Euro style with natural wood pulls along the bottom edge. Use hidden hinges. RTF ( a laminate like Formica) works best here.

You can also paint your boxes with white paint. Do this inside and out. Beautiful white country styling with antique brass handles or ceramic white knobs is the perfect finishing touch. Adding white curtains and a gingham table cloth can also make the kitchen bright and cheerful with a country flair.

Go all-out with do it yourself refacing! Veneer your boxes with a color or stain that will match your favorite scheme. It costs a bit more and takes more time this way, but you will appreciate the results for many, many years to come. Refacing takes no special skills or expensive tools. We have literally thousands of typical, non-professional homeowners that have used our methods and instructions to transform their old tired kitchens. Visit our customer photo gallery. How did they do it? It's easy! Watch our video, measure your pieces, select a style and finish and place your order with confidence. We are here to help you succeed. Our live help desk can answer questions and solve potential problems quickly and accurately. Our highest purpose is maintaining our five star customer service rating.

The final suggestion if the budget is tight, is to order MDF paintable components and paint them and your boxes to match. Your imagination is the only limit when you use this method. It is a lot of work, but the look is all yours.

Our wood products are safe and Carb Compliant. No matter what method you use to spruce up your kitchen, it will add value and pride to your home. We hope you will let us be of service when you are ready to move forward.

Finishing details such as kitchen flooring are vital to achieving that professionally designed look, so choose wisely.

Because so many homeowners choose to remodel their kitchens, chances are you can find a remodeling contractor who specializes in kitchens. For improvements to just one room or area of the house, a kitchen remodel can involve a surprising number of specialists, depending on its scope. You or your general contractor may end up hiring everyone from cabinet craftsmen to electricians to plumbers to flooring specialists and countertop installation contractors.

Here a few tips for deciding who to hire for a kitchen remodel:

Who will be in charge?

It may be tempting to act as your own general contractor and hire each kitchen remodeling specialist on your own. While this can be easily accomplished for smaller scale kitchen improvements and there are potential cost savings, there are some drawbacks, especially for more involved projects.

A general contractor, especially one who has experience with kitchen remodelings multiple phases or features, will have the first-hand experience to deal with unforeseen issues that may arise during the project. What may seem like an impossible task to a first-time DIY remodeler, such as moving a plumbing drain or relocating an ovens gas line, can be a relatively simple task for a general contractor.

Time can prove to be another drawback to acting as your own contractor for a kitchen remodel. While you may save money by hiring multiple specialists yourself, scheduling each segment can present an issue, especially if delays pop up. A general contractor or kitchen remodeling specialist will have experience planning out a project to minimize delays and will likely have network of reliable subcontractors.

Getting estimates

Its always a good idea to get at least three estimates before hiring a contractor or kitchen remodeler before starting a kitchen remodel. One way to find a good contractor is to ask for recommendations from friends, neighbors or family members who have had similar work done. You can do a more comprehensive search Angie's List for contractor reviews posted by other Angie's List members in your community.

If youre remodeling based upon plans, sketches or 3D models, make sure you share them with each estimating contractor to ensure you can make apples-to-apples comparisons among estimates.

When interviewing contractors, be sure to ask about their experience in this particular remodeling specialty. Will they use subcontractors or do they have in-house employees perform the work?

Always make sure to ask for proof of a companys insurance and bonding, if necessary, as well as their contractor or trade license if required.

Be sure to ask for and actually verify references from previous kitchen remodeling jobs. Call their referrals and ask about their projects. Were they happy with their remodels? Were there any delays or hiccups along the way? How well did the contractor, and his or her employees or subcontractors communicate? Did they clean up the job site daily?

These types of questions will help you make comparisons among contractors based on what characteristics you consider important in a hiring relationship.

The contract

As with any home remodeling contract, a kitchen remodeling contract should include several fundamentals:
