Hodes Weill & Associates’ Post

As the brilliant Liam Carpenter highlights in his sketches (“In Germany we don’t say…”), the German language excels at creating highly specific terms. One example I picked up during my time in Berlin is Nahversorgungszentrum—literally a “near-supply centre.” While not the snappiest English translation, it perfectly captures the concept of a local shopping or service hub designed to meet the everyday needs of a nearby residential population. Interestingly, these assets are now at the top of many investors’ wish lists—not just in Germany but across global markets, as noted in this insightful piece from Hodes Weill & Associates (thanks, Jonathan Read for sharing). What better way to stay aligned with consumer spending patterns than by focusing on our most essential needs? Does this growing interest in Nahversorgungszentren indicate a shift away from high-end or luxury retail? In France, at least, that would contrast with what Antoine Salmon and Vianney d'Ersu suggested this summer in Newmark’s note on the Champs-Élysées (see the comments for more details). Or are we seeing a polarization in the retail market, where demand for the essential and the ultra-luxury increasingly overshadows the (very wide) mid-range? #retail #CRE #Nahversorgungszentrum #groceries

Over a decade ago, commercial real estate investors and their stables of advisors predicted the impending death of retail. As stores saw less foot traffic in favor of online shopping, the term “retail apocalypse” was coined, referring to the closing of many brick-and-mortar stores nationwide. The pandemic intensified these challenges in 2020, leading to widespread store closures, a significant decline in foot traffic, and a real sink-or-swim environment, in which businesses were challenged to adapt to the needs of their customers, employees, and local regulations.
