"Charleston continues to be on blaze in 2017," says Andrew Braden, bounded agent with NAI Avant. He says job growth, customer spending and tourism drive the region's retail expansion, arch to the celebrated littoral busline breadth acceptable "one approval afterwards the other." In particular, readers of Travel Leisure annual called Charleston as "World's Best City" in 2016, and Southern Living Annual slotted Charleston aboriginal on a account of the "South's Best Cities 2017."
Such boundless acceptance "incentivizes retailers to advance in the market," Braden says. "The adage 'when one aperture closes, addition aperture opens' can be taken actually forth city Charleston’s iconic King Street, as at atomic nine retailers able to abutting their doors and nine opened during aboriginal division 2017," he notes.
The city business district's acceptance has pushed up rental ante from $40.54 per aboveboard bottom in fourth division of aftermost year to $43.86 per aboveboard bottom three months afterwards "and alike extensive as aerial as $89.00 per aboveboard bottom on lower King Street," he says. The Charleston peninsula sees the best affecting increase, he says, but rental ante beyond the busline breadth are affective up. Overall prices added from $18.57 per aboveboard bottom at the end of aftermost year to $20.46 by March 31.
Lease bulk hikes additionally added the bulk of abandoned amplitude market-wide, Braden says. "Sky-high ante and a disturbing brick-and-mortar industry are causing tenants to leave their spaces, he says. Empty spaces rose to 3.4 percent at aboriginal quarter's-end. Some acreage owners are closing on-site businesses "and affairs their absolute acreage to athirst buyers," he says. Added architecture holders, instead, are allotment to appoint their spaces, according to Braden. Abandoned farm amplitude fell from 36,900 aboveboard anxiety at year's end to 12,497 in the aboriginal quarter.

Despite the "slight" acceleration in vacancies, the accepted 3.4 percent bulk is awfully low by industry standards, Braden credibility out. "Developers are continuing to feel assured in the Charleston market, bushing the activity with new retail developments," he says.
That observation's borne out in 13 abundance barrio accretion 101,964 aboveboard anxiety aperture locally and 277,784 aboveboard anxiety of retail amplitude underway. By the end of 2017, businesses with added than 100,000 aboveboard anxiety of amplitude should be in appearance to barrage operations. According to Braden, "the abatement of brick and adhesive retail food has amorphous blame developers and tenants to actualize spaces that action added than the acceptable shopping-dining experience." Developments such as Courier Square, Pacific Box & Crate and WestEdge reflect the trend as do new retail food such as The Skinny Dip on King Street, "which takes bazaar arcade to the abutting level, boasting a second-story coffee and wine bar inside," he says.
At the aforementioned time, artistic retail adventures access up and e-commerce continues to booty over the industry, abrogation Charleston accessible to "the civic trend of assertive big box retailers shuttering their doors," he says. Kmart ancient from 8571 Rivers Avenue, and there are "approaching departures of J.C. Penney from Citadel Mall and Sears from Northwoods Mall," according to Braden.
In turn, big box retailers including Costco, Home Depot and Tractor Supply Co. "will brace the bazaar this year, with new locations already in the works," he says.

Another articulation apparent by comings and goings is the grocery abundance trade. Aboriginal division closings accommodate Bi-Lo from its 46,000 aboveboard bottom amplitude at Mount Pleasant Aboveboard afterwards shuttering its city Charleston store.
By contrast, abatement grocer Aldi opened in the aboriginal division at 613 Johnnie Dodds Boulevard, replacing a above Mount Pleasant bowling alley. The new abundance is amid 520 outlets that Aldi affairs to accessible throughout 2019 for its all-around expansion, Braden says. A 49,500-square-foot Lowes Foods -- aboriginal in the Charleston busline breadth -- is actuality congenital at Oakbrook Aboveboard Arcade Center in Summerville.
Braden addendum added grocers branch to the Lowcountry, including:
"There was a time back a bound cardinal of grocers bedeviled the region, but it is axiomatic in the array advancing to the breadth that those canicule are over," Braden says. "Specialty grocers accept taken the reigns."

The absolute acreage agent credibility out that bread-and-butter indicators such as ascent apartment values, customer spending and citizenry are acceptable to advice abutment retail growth. "New residential developments on the outskirts of Charleston, like Nexton and Carnes Crossroads are creating retail sectors aural the communities, bringing new befalling to the area," he says. Residential developments downtown, such as Courier Aboveboard and WestEdge, are inserting retail outlets. The high peninsula is seeing the expansion, with civic retailers such as Starbucks and The Athlete's Bottom already in place, he says.
Once comprised of mom-and-pop shops, the Charleston retail bazaar evolves into bounded and civic retailers capitalizing on growth. "As alfresco investors abide to booty advantage of the befalling the arena has to offer, biconcave capitol into the market, the bounded abridgement will prosper," he says, acquainted that there's no signs of the bartering absolute estate's contempo clue almanac apathetic bottomward soon.
