Pepper Square redevelopment, $406M Dallas tower loan and more
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. Dallas-Fort Worth continues to absorb the largest multifamily delivery pipeline in the country. Industrial along the I-35 corridor is clearing at competitive basis, and selective office is finding bids at deep discounts to replacement. The asset class has effectively rerated as a defensive yield trade rather than a secularly challenged sector.
