BisNow

Retail in the Metroplex set a new record in 2023 as a dearth of new construction and rebounding tenant demand converged to create the highest occupancy in 42 years. Dallas-Fort Worth shopping centers of 25K SF or more were 95.2% occupied at the beginning of 2024, slightly outpacing the previous occupancy record of 94.8% in 1981, according to data shared at Weitzman's annual forecast event today.
