Chicago TREND closes sale of Minneapolis’ Hawthorn Crossings Shopping Center
Why this matters
Retail has become a quiet outperformer. A decade of effectively zero new development has left necessity-driven, grocery-anchored, and Sun Belt strip product with negligible vacancy and re-leasing spreads in the high single digits. Cap rates have compressed in step, and the bid for stabilized portfolios is again broad across REITs, pension funds, and institutional core-plus capital. Minneapolis medical office and industrial continue to outperform. Multifamily supply has cooled meaningfully entering 2026 and concessions are now retracing. The asset class has effectively rerated as a defensive yield trade rather than a secularly challenged sector.
