There are hundreds of news sites that are devoted to the real estate and real estate investment markets, but I hadn’t found very many quality sites that focus on retail news in commercial real estate. With the credit crunch in full swing, retailers are really starting to feel the pain. Commercial real estate has held up better than the residential markets, but retail properties are likely the first to run into significant trouble. Already, many retailers have filed for bankruptcy protection this year which has created many vacancies at shopping centers. Landlords have found it very difficult to fill vacant spaces, as very few retailers are looking to expand right now.
