The county's retail market has taken a battering over the past several months, as consumer sales have slowed and operating costs have soared, sending some retailers into bankruptcy. As a result, vacancies have risen and some retail centers are not faring well, as the competition for potential tenants intensifies. Meanwhile, more than two million sf will be dumped on the county's retail market in 2001, as approximately 2.9 million sf of retail space will be completed in Orange County this year, according to a recent report by Marcus & Millichap.
