JLL Negotiates Sale of Whole Foods-Anchored Retail Center in Metro Nashville
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. Nashville continues to absorb meaningful multifamily and mixed-use development. Hospitality has been a standout performer through the cycle. The asset class has effectively rerated as a defensive yield trade rather than a secularly challenged sector.
