Now that the Federal Reserve has kicked off a cycle of monetary policy easing, retail real estate transaction volume in the southeastern U.S. is poised to heat up, said Brad Buchanan, managing director in the Atlanta office of JLL Capital Markets, Americas.
The region’s fundamentals are strong, and retail has proven its resilience in the face of the long-term threat of e-commerce and the disruptions of the pandemic, he said. These factors are translating into renewed interest from investors, as well as an increasingly broad spectrum of lenders willing to finance retail acquisitions.
Bisnow spoke with Buchanan about the resulting opportunities and how commercial real estate professionals should capitalize on the ramp-up in activity.
