Local Economy Charlotte s economy continues to climb during the first half of 2018, driven by the combination of low unemployment and skyrocketing home values. The unemployment rate for Charlotte s metro area fell to 3.4% during the second quarter, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That marked its first journey below 4.0%. The figure was down from 4.0% at the end of the previous quarter and 4.3% a year earlier. Charlotte s rate compares favorably to both state and national figures. The Charlotte Chamber reported that total employment in the Charlotte MSA rose to just less than 1.3 million during the second quarter from 1.26 million the prior year. Median home prices climbed to $245,000 from $226,500 a year earlier, the Chamber said, while monthly retail sales rose to $2 billion from $1.8 billion. 2Q17 vs. 2Q18 NET ABSORPTION VACANCY RATE DELIVERIES Charlotte Retail Market Overview ASKING RATES Charlotte s retail market continued to see positive trends at midyear. Vacancy rates have reached record lows over the past year, while average rents have hit record highs. A flurry of construction activity in 2017 has put more product on the market this year, including high-profile projects like the Whole Foods development uptown. Construction has slowed compared to last year, however, partly because of a dwindling supply of available land. That might be one reason the number of leasing deals has also declined. The retail market s vacancy rate was 3.8% at the end of the second quarter, little changed from the previous quarter and year. Rates haven t been above 4% since the first quarter of 2017, and remain well below a decade ago, when they pushed into double digits. Leasing activity continued to slow compared with A total of 192 lease deals were signed during, down from 226 the prior year. It was the second straight quarter that fewer than 200 deals were signed, ending a seven-quarter run of 200-plus deals. Square footage involved in the deals fell to 676,343 from 862,078 a year earlier.

3 The biggest retail lease signing for the quarter was for 51,000 square feet by Aviation Institute of Maintenance at Independence Square in the East Charlotte submarket. The second biggest deal of the year was inked during Q1, when Ultimate Performance Sports signed on for 37,176 square feet at East Independence Boulevard. Twenty retail buildings spanning 573,412 square feet were delivered during. That compares to 22 buildings spanning 307,087 square feet the previous quarter and buildings totaling 383,615 square feet the previous year. The quarter s biggest delivery was Harris Square, a 67,000-square-foot building in the University submarket. The top delivery so far in 2018 was the 150,000-square-foot Life Time athletic facility at Rea Farms in South Charlotte. Meanwhile, construction activity slowed. Fifty-eight buildings totaling 1.3 million square feet were under construction at the end of, down from 65 buildings totaling 1.8 million square feet the previous quarter and 79 buildings totaling 2.2 million square feet the previous year. The number of buildings under construction was the lowest in six quarters. First-quarter net absorption was positive 347,466 square feet. That compares to positive 620,480 square feet the previous quarter and positive 266,004 square feet the previous year. The average rental rate across all types of retail properties was $.30 per square foot, up from $.01 the first quarter and about the same as a year earlier. Year-to-date, rates are lower than they were in 2017, though they re still at their second-highest level of the decade. Central Business District An affiliation between AP Stonewall Station Phase 1 LP and Asana Partners spent around $34 million to buy 47,000 square feet of retail at Novel Stonewall Station in uptown Charlotte. The deal included the 38,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market. Midtown - South End The Charlotte City Council approved a 20-story office tower and mixed-use project in Elizabeth that will include up to 512,500 square feet of office space, 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and a 240-room hotel. The project, being developed by NAI Southern Real Estate, is bounded by Baldwin Avenue and Third and Fourth streets and is located adjacent to the Lynx Gold Line streetcar system. Charlotte-based The Spectrum Cos. announced plans for a mixed-use project in South End that will likely include two midrise office buildings, ground-floor retail and restaurant space, a boutique hotel and a pedestrian plaza. The development is located over a five-acre block bounded by Carson Boulevard and Tryon, Catherine and Winnifred streets. It currently contains surface parking lots and a 58,500-square-foot office building at 1100 South Tryon Street. No delivery date has been announced. A number of new tenants signed leases at the Atherton Mill mixed-use site in South End. Columbia, S.C.-based Edens, which owns the property, said the following retailers signed on and will likely open during the summer of 2019: Cava, a Mediterranean restaurant; Indaco, a rustic Italian restaurant; The Eagle Food & Beer Hall, an eatery specializing in Southern dishes; Las Olas, a swimwear maker; Paint Nail Bar, a luxury nail salon.

City Park will include residential, office, retail and hotel development. East Charlotte A partnership between Selwyn Property Group and SunCap Property Group said it will develop a 13.6-acre site into a 60,000-square-foot commercial center near Monroe and Idlewild roads in East Charlotte. The center, dubbed MoRA Point, will be anchored by a 22,000-square-foot grocery store. Broadstone KKD Portfolio LLC paid $1.8 million to buy the roughly 3,000-square-foot Krispy Kreme store at 9301 East Independence Boulevard in the East Charlotte submarket. Krispy Kreme signed a 20-year lease at the property on the day of the transaction. Outlook Charlotte s rapid economic and population growth have bolstered the area s retail market, even as online retailers take more market share from brick-and-mortar chains. Mixed-use projects have driven much of the retail market s expansion over the past couple of years and should keep doing so in the near term. The year-over-year slowdown in leasing deals is something to keep an eye on, though that might be more a product of dwindling supply than a lack of interest on the part of prospective tenants. The macro outlook remains robust in both Charlotte and North Carolina. Speaking at a mid-year Economic Outlook forum, Charlotte economist John Connaughton said the state should add 113,000 net jobs in He also forecast that North Carolina s GDP growth rate will accelerate to 2.8% this year from 1.6% the previous eight years Q1 $8 $10 $12 $14 $ $18 $20 $22 $24 $26 $28 $30 $32 $34
