Martha, Manus, and Dianne break down a short, yet jam-packed week in the markets, from the Fed’s “status quo” minutes and weak housing data to Walmart’s downbeat retail outlook and a major shake-up in government office leases. They dissect the 2.3 million square feet of leases on the chopping block—half in D.C.—and the ripple effects for landlords, small-town economies, and lenders. While CRE sentiment is cautiously optimistic, no one’s popping the champagne just yet. The team also unpacks lodging sector trends, San Diego’s red-hot multifamily market, and growing office leasing momentum in some unexpected markets. On the retail front, the team discusses store closures, expansion plans, and newly listed properties. And in a final twist, KFC is taking the “K” out of KFC—well, sort of.
