Pembroke Realty Provides Updates on $300M Mall Redevelopment in Virginia Beach
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.

The asset class has effectively rerated as a defensive yield trade rather than a secularly challenged sector.
