2012 Retail ForecastWelcome to ChainLinks 2012 Retail Forecast Report. This
report not only contains our forecast for the national retail real
estate market in 2012, but also includes a statistical summary
of the activity that we witnessed during the third quarter of 2011
and detailed expansion plans of just a few of the retailers that
we are tracking throughout our 60+ offices across nearly every
major market in the United States.
2011 Holiday Sales Season Forecast
Before we focus on this years coming holiday sales season,
lets recap what happened last year. Heading into the 2010
holiday sales season, analysts were generally skeptical aboutretail sales. Luxury retailers had only seen a return to positive
monthly same-store comparables in September. Prior to that,
many had endured as many as 18 consecutive months of
double digit monthly declines. Consumer confidence was in
the 50swell below the historical average of 95 and the most
recent ranking (October 2011) of 71.8.
Last year, groups as diverse as the International Council of
Shopping Centers (ICSC) and the National Retail Federation
(NRF) were predicting that holiday sales would only increase
by about 2.5%. Then, the unexpected happened. Consumers
showed up. By early December, most think-tanks were
upwardly revising their forecasts. By mid-December it wasclear that nearly everyone had underestimated just how much
the American consumer would spend. Depending upon the
data source, we closed the 2010 holiday sales season with
sales increases in the 5% to 6% range.
As important as this was in terms of the general economy,
what occurred next was even more critical to retail real estate;
retailers significantly upped their growth plans. Retailers hadalready been increasing expansion plans over the virtually
non-existent levels of 2009, but this had primarily been driven
by discounters and other concepts that had benefited from
the newfound frugality of the American consumer. Following
Christmas 2010, we saw middle-of-the-road and luxury
concepts getting back in the game. We also saw discounters
adding extra units to their growth plans. Prior to the 2010
holiday sales season, retail requirements had been up about
20% over 2009 levels. By February 2011, requirements were
up over 40% above the past years levels.
The surprising success of the 2010 holiday sales season was
one of the driving forces behind keeping occupancy growthin the black this year. Retailer sentiment remained high
through the annual ICSC ReCon event in Las Vegas this past
May, when many retailers further bolstered growth plans in
the face of an economic outlook that looked to be improving.
This, unfortunately, only lasted until the debt ceiling/credit
downgrade debacle of August. As the economic outlook
darkened with uncertainty and fears of a double-dip recession,
retailers began to pull back on planned expansion. At the very
least, those who did not trim their number of planned new
units, were suddenly taking much longer to get deals done.
While we are now past the worst of this late summer swoon,
the economic outlook remains extremely cloudy at best. Most
economists have downgraded job growth and GDP forecasts
for the coming year; the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis will
likely morph into a European recession and retailers continue
to trim growth plans.
That being said, the impact of last years holiday shopping
season cannot be understated. It was a catalyst behind a

significant amount of retail growth throughout the United States
over the past year. Now, it may be true that most of this growth
was mitigated by just a few major retailer bankruptcies (as we
will discuss later in this report), however, we are firm in our
conviction that the impact of last years holiday season is what
sent us on a positive trajectory for 2011.
Despite the fact that economic uncertainty dominated the
landscape throughout the majority of the third quarter of this
year, it was only in the third quarter that we finally saw vacancy
levels moving downward. Growth over the first half of the year
was largely cancelled out by just the Borders and Blockbuster
vacancies. Other, smaller retail failures thrown into the mix
certainly didnt help. But overall, what we saw was minor
increases in demand from most of the marketplace, swallowed
up by a few big failures. So where does this leave us heading
into the 2011 holiday shopping season?
The Death of Black Friday
First, retail real estate statistics aside, the impact of BlackFriday is slowly slipping away. As this report went to press,
Black Friday 2011 numbers were not yet available. However,
we were seeing trends that seem to suggest that Black Fridays
days may be numbered as more and more retailers are pushing
up their opening times. This year, Target, Best Buy, Kohls and
Macys all opened their stores at midnight to accommodate
early holiday shoppers. Abercrombie & Fitch, Justice, Hollister,
Ann Taylor, The Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, GameStop
and dozens of other chains also followed suit with many of their
locations. But a number of retailers have taken things even
farther. Both Toys R Us and Walmart opened stores as early as
9 PM on Thanksgiving night.
While this has created some backlash (a Target employee
started an online petition to urge the Minneapolis-based retailer
to return to opening stores no earlier than 5 AM on Black Friday
so that employees could still enjoy their Thanksgiving holiday
it garnered over 190,000 signatures in less than a week),
the reality is that consumers have continued to show up in
record numbers at ungodly hours to get an early jump on their
holiday shopping.
It may take a year or two, but we expect the majority of retailers
and shopping centers to eventually be open on Thanksgiving
Day. It already is one of the busiest days of the year for movie
theaters and many restaurant chains (an estimated 14 million
Americans ate out this Thanksgiving). With retailers facing ever
more intense competition from both online retailers and one
another and consumers continuing to demonstrate that they
are willing to show up earlier to cash in on deals, we see it as
only a matter of time before Thanksgiving Day becomes the
new Black Friday.
But even as the importance of Black Friday seems to be fading
into the past, the question remains how will the market perform
this year? The predictions from ICSC and the NRF have, so
far, been in the 2.5% to 3.0% increase range. Of course, the
problem in this negative media cycle has been that many media
outlets have run with stories that headline reduced growth
ahead. The problem with this is that even these projections
are looking towards sales growth. They just dont see sales
growth matching the level of increase we saw last year. Yet,to the uneducated reader, many of these articles would seem
to paint a picture of declining sales revenues not increasing
sales revenues that are simply not living up to last years
surprising results.
Yet, we think these numbers are low to begin with. First off,
the projections of the major think-tanks are right back to
where they were last year. That being said, this year we have
concerns over the Eurozone, political dysfunction and a whole
new palette of issues plaguing the economy. But, one year ago
there was a similar set of issues hanging over the economy
in fact, they were issues that were actually more prescient than
our current crisis of confidence driven issues. And, despite allof these challenges, we are actually heading into this holiday
shopping season with higher levels of consumer confidence
than where we were last year.
We expect sales gains this year to be in the 3.5% to 4.0%
range. The year-over-year increase will not be as high as
last years jump, but these numbers will still translate into a
relatively strong holiday shopping season. We are more bullish
in our forecast than the NRF or ICSC, although we are not as
optimistic (though we hope they are right) as Customer Growth
Partners, a research group that recently published a report
forecasting 6.5% annual sales growth.
But regardless of whether our more positive forecast turns outto be true, this does not necessarily mean that this will translate
into a surge of retailer demand this year. In fact, our informal
polling of retailers is telling us that they are in a much more
conservative state of mind this year. The reality is that most
economists and most retailers are expecting 2012 to be a year
of slow, grinding growth thanks to the implications of both the
likely European recession and the continued ineffectiveness
of our government (which will be exacerbated by a gridlocked
election year) to create any sort of economic policy relief. Of
course, the political issues go deeper than this, to the fear

3/31

U.S. National Retail Report
that political dysfunction may actually derail the economy. It
certainly threatened to do so this summer, so many see it as a
looming potential issue at least through November 2012. So
while we see a strong holiday sales season ahead, we do not
see the same surge in retailer demand occurring that happened
last year.
So where does this leave us?
Retailer Demand Survey
We recently completed our quarterly retailer demand survey,
which asks over 600 top retail brokers in over 50 markets
nationally to rank current retailer demand on a scale of one
(reflecting the lowest levels of demand possible) to ten (reflecting
the highest levels of demand possible).
While the national average of retailer demand remained stable
at a ranking of sevenindicating levels of retailer demand that
are slightly above average, we did see a number of cracks in the
faade that our brokers at the local level reported to us. First
off, one almost unanimous response was that deals were taking
longer to get done. Retailers have responded to big picture
economic uncertainty with caution. Secondly, urban levels of
demand were immensely higher than those that we are seeing
in suburban marketplaces.
Markets that saw no movement in retailer demand included;
Albuquerque, Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham, Dallas, Denver,
Detroit, Indianapolis, Inland Empire, Las Vegas, Miami, New
Orleans, New York, North New Jersey, Oakland/East Bay,
Omaha, Orange County (CA), Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Portland (OR), Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, San
Jose/South Bay, St. Louis and Tampa/St. Petersburg.
Markets that saw improvement in retailer demand include;
Austin, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Des Moines, Jacksonville,
Kansas City, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Nashville,
Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Raleigh/Durham, Sacramento, San
Antonio, Seattle, Tucson and Washington DC.
Markets that saw retailer demand drop included; Charleston
(SC), Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston, Little Rock, Louisville,
Memphis, Mobile, Newport News/Norfolk, Hampton Roads, San
Jose/South Bay and Tulsa.
2012 Retail Forecast
We expect retail vacancies to continue to fall over the coming
year at an extremely slow pace. Though we do expect a strong
holiday shopping season, we expect retailers to be in cautious
growth mode throughout the majority of 2012.
Retailer expansion will be dominated once again by discounters
and grocery store chains, as well as new fast casual restaurant
concepts. But discounter expansion (with the exception of dollar
stores) may begin to slow by year-end, if for no other reason than
players like TJX or Ross have already been in aggressive growth
mode for a couple of years now and prime second-generation
sites are becoming harder to find. Meanwhile, grocery growth will
come mostly in the form of smaller format stores in the 20,000 to
40,000 square foot range. Even while discount, luxury/organic
and ethnic themed grocery chains will be expanding with these
smaller footprints, we will see increasing consolidation from
unionized, mid-priced regional chains that will be returning
stores (typically in the 50,000 to 80,000 square foot range) to
the marketplace. While fast food and fast casual chains wil
continue to expand, we also expect casual dining chains (with
a few exceptions) to continue to contract. Meanwhile, retailers
in the middle will continue to be squeezed. While The Gap and
Christopher & Banks have announced plans to close hundreds
of stores between them in the coming year, we suspect there wil
be more. Meanwhile, mom-and-pop retail will largely continue
to out of the picture until home prices stabilize (home equity
loans remain the primary initial source of funding for small retai
startups). Meanwhile, even as growth continues to be tempered
by economic headwinds, we will also continue to see retailers
shrinking their footprints.
The bad news is that we dont expect retailer demand and
leasing activity to increase above this years levels in the
year ahead.
The good news is that we also dont expect retailer bankruptcies
and failures to take as severe a toll in 2012 as they did in 2011.
Retail shopping center vacancy throughout the United States
stood at 9.3% as of the close of the third quarter. Vacancy levels
over the first half of 2011 had remained firm at 9.4% despite
strong leasing activity. The failures of Borders and Blockbuste
alone translated into nearly 12 million square feet of space
being returned to the marketplacemitigating nearly all o
the growth the market recorded over the first half of the year
These, of course, werent the only bankruptcies impacting the
market, but retail closures continued to keep pace with growthover the first six months of 2011. It was only in the third quarte
that the market finally began to see some movement in overal
vacancy rates.
While we expect retailer bankruptcies to diminish in 2012, they
will remain an issue. Throughout 2011, retail failures largely
mitigated what would have been respectable growth levels. As
of the close of the third quarter, year-to-date shopping cente
absorption stood above 12 million square feet. Take just the
failure of Borders and Blockbuster out of the mix and this
number would have doubled.
Looking forward, we continue to have strong concerns ove
mid-priced retail chains. Consumer shopping patterns havediverged to the extremes; luxury retail is back for the higher-
end consumer and discount retail is flourishing. Across every
segment of the retail industry, it is the mid-priced retailer who is
suffering most. Middle-class consumers have downsized and
there are no signs that the new frugality will end any time soon
Chains caught in the middle will be where the most contraction
occurs and though we dont expect retail closures to approach
last years levels, they will continue to mitigate growth across the
board. Vacancy will shrink in 2012, but it will be at a slow pace
measured more by basis points than by percentage points.

and entertainment centers, and outlet centers. Thanks in largepart to the performance of outlet centers; it is one of the strongersegments of the retail market. That being said, lifestyle centersare also performing well and are making a bit of a comebackafter having been overdeveloped at the peak of the last realestate cycle. This quarter marks the second consecutive quarterin which vacancy levels have declined. Last quarter vacancystood at 7.5%. Vacancy had peaked during the first quarter ofthis year at 8.2%.
Specialty centers absorbed nearly 148,000 square feet of spaceduring the third quarter. Year-to-date absorption now standsat 878,000 square feet. These are modest totals compared topre-recession averages. The market recorded nearly 3.8 millionsquare feet of occupancy growth in 2007 at the peak of thelast cycle.
Like every other shopping center type, performance has beenbifurcated by class. Class A centers in every market, eventhose with the highest overall vacancy levels, have performedstrongly this year and are typically averaging vacancy levelsof 5% or less. Class B centers have performed well in all butthe weakest markets and are typically averaging vacancy levelsin core markets of 10% or less. Class C centers continue to
struggle everywhere. Specialty centers overall have performedwell because the national inventory of specialty centersoverwhelmingly consists of Class A and B product.
Community, Neighborhood & Strip Update
Vacancy levels for community, neighborhood and strip centersfell from 11.0% to 10.9% during the third quarter. This is thelargest segment of the shopping center market that we track,accounting for over 3.3 billion square feet of the over five billionsquare feet of space that we track. This is also where we seethe greatest variances in terms of individual shopping centerperformance. Bifurcation by class is the overriding trend in themarketplace. Strip centers almost universally fall into the ClassC category and continue to struggle because their bread-and-
butter tenant base, mom-and-pop retailers, remain missing inaction. Mom-and-pop retailers will not be back in any significannumbers until the nations housing market begins to recoverhome equity loans are usually the initial line of funding fostartups and family-owned businesses. That being said, ClassA neighborhood and community centers are doing well in nearlyevery major U.S. market. Though the bankruptcy of Blockbustelargely impacted drug and grocery-store anchored shoppingcenters, much of this space was situated in Class A and B
centers and has been generating significant touring and leasingactivity. Neighborhood and community centers, meanwhilewere largely spared the impact of Borders liquidation. Borderstypically utilized space at power/regional centers.
Community, neighborhood and strip centers accounted foover 5.1 million square feet of occupancy growth during thethird quarter. Year-to-date net absorption now stands above 7.9million square feet. These numbers should improve over thefinal quarter of 2011. Leasing activity continues to be driven bystrong activity from fast casual dining concepts; meanwhile, mosof the pending closures that we are aware of will inordinatelyimpact malls and power/regional centers. That being said, theimprovement will continue to be limited to the strongest centers
Power Centers UpdateVacancy for power/regional centers crept up slightly during thethird quarter from 6.9% to 7.0%. Though deliveries accountedfor only 1.2 million square feet of space this quarter, thisnumber outpaced occupancy growth. Roughly 369,000square feet of space was absorbed this quarter. This productype took the biggest hit with Borders liquidation. Weestimate that over nine million square feet of the 12 millionthat Borders returned to the marketplace was at powerregional centers. Despite this, this product type has continuedto record modest occupancy growth this year. Year-todate net absorption now stands at just under two millionsquare feet.

Power/regional centers are continuing to show strong leasingactivity for junior box space, however, also are seeing challengesfrom continued closures. We expect continued slow growthahead. Though we expect vacancy to continue to trenddownward, these decreases will be measured in basisnotpercentagepoints.
Mall Update
Mall vacancy currently stands at 5.8%, up slightly from the 5.7%
mark recorded at the mid-year mark. Vacancy had stayed firmat 5.7% since the fourth quarter of last year. Despite the factthat vacancy crept upward during the third quarter, occupancygrowth remained modestly positive. The market netted nearly214,000 square feet of occupancy growth over the past threemonths. The problem is that during this same time, the marketalso experienced roughly 901,000 square feet of deliveries.Supply (new construction) outpaced demand (occupancygrowth) and so vacancy levels crept up slightly. This is despitethe fact that both new construction and occupancy growth totalswere miniscule compared to historical averages.
Though malls have been one of the strongest performingsegments of the market in terms of retailer demand and leasingactivity, they are also the segment of the market that we expectto be most impacted by the next round of retail closures. Forexample, both the planned closure of 100 Christopher & Banksand 189 Gap stores will almost exclusively impact malls. Whileluxury and discount retailers are doing well, mid-price retailers arefacing the greatest challenges. The middle-class consumer theyused to cater to has largely downscaled. Meanwhile, a numberof the retailers on our watch list are primarily mall users. Whilewe expect a strong holiday sales season, there will be more retailfailures in 2012. And many of these will include concepts that aremall-based. Looking forward, we expect vacancy levels to stayat or near current levels, but any movement will be up. The goodnews for mall landlords is that they remain at the top of the list formost expanding concepts.

Apparel
Accessorize opened only two stores this year, but the
London-based chain has announced a goal of reaching
100 units by 2015. We expect 2012 openings to surpass
the 20-unit mark.
Anthropologie will close 2011 with at least 15 new stores.
Our sources tell us to expect a similar growth rate for the
coming year.
Even while parent company The Gap is planning on
closing 100 stores or more in the coming months, they
are continuing to grow their active womens sportswear
concept, Athleta. Athleta should close 2011 with about ten
new stores. We expect growth levels to surpass this in
2012we anticipate at least 15 units.
Bebes has plans to add a total of 11 new stores in its
current fiscal year, which ends in June 2012.
Body Central is looking to open as many as 40 new stores
in 2012.
Casual Male will open about 14 more new stores before the
end of the year, most of which will be their new Destination
XL concept. The chain wants to be opening between 75
and 100 new locations annually by 2013, which leaves thequestion as to how many units to expect next year. We
expect as many as 40 new units as Casual Male ramps up
growth of its new concept.
Cato Corporations new accessories concept, Versone
Accessories, is looking to open as many as 50 new stores
over the next 18 months.
Charlotte Russe will beef up growth in 2012 with as many
as 20 new stores.
Charming Charlies, an accessories concept that typically
uses about 8,000 square feet, will close 2011 with at least
ten new stores. We expect 2012 openings to approach 15
units or more.
Charming Shoppes will close out 2011 with only five to
seven new stores. We expect similar growth rates for 2012.
Chicos will net 21 new units over the next six months.
Citi Trends is yet another apparel chain that shrunk growth
