Criterion’s August 2026 Commercial Real Estate Newsletter is now available.
This month, we examine the interest-rate outlook for commercial real estate, current retail real estate trends, and the portfolio activity shaping today’s investment environment. While consumers are becoming more selective, retail foot traffic, small-business sales, and well-located necessity-based properties continue to demonstrate resilience.
We also share updates from across the Criterion portfolio, including leasing, renewals, sales efforts, development progress, and upcoming investment opportunities.
In This Issue:
Why higher interest rates may not be as negative for commercial real estate investors as many expect
Retail resilience across consumer foot traffic, small-business sales, and local retail markets
Grocery-anchored retail real estate and the importance of anchor-lease timing as debt matures
Convenience-store acquisitions and portfolio optimization among retail operators
Retail Quick Hits from Kroger, Costco, Cracker Barrel, Tractor Supply, Ross Stores, and more
Criterion portfolio updates covering leasing, sales, development, and operations
