Hines Ties Downtown San Jose Retail Revival to Major Data Center Expansion
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. San Antonio industrial demand along the I-35 corridor has been driven by spillover from the larger Texas Triangle gateways. Multifamily fundamentals are steady. The asset class has effectively rerated as a defensive yield trade rather than a secularly challenged sector.
