Kyle Crossing at 5100-5167 Kyle Centre Dr. was acquired by Elm Creek and Reserve Development.
DALLAS—Who says retail is dead? Four retail centers in Texas totaling $90.8 million recently closed, which demonstratively puts those rumors to rest. The centers encompass more than 634,000 square feet of retail space.
“The recent US Department of Commerce e-commerce sales fourth quarter 2018 report concluded that 90% of retail remains offline, in brick and motor stores,” JLL managing director Tom Salanty tells GlobeSt.com. “Expect demand for quality retail space to continue. The Texas statistics confirm this. All the major market retail fundamentals are very strong. Rental rates are increasing. Vacancy and new construction starts are also historically low. Texas is a great place to invest.”
