Curaleaf Opens Boston Dispensary Near Downtown Crossing, Expanding Access for Patients in Massachusetts
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. Boston life sciences absorption has moderated from its 2021-2022 pace, and the market is working through a meaningful Cambridge sublease overhang. Multifamily and trophy office remain durable. The asset class has effectively rerated as a defensive yield trade rather than a secularly challenged sector.
