Southwest Florida Retail Market Report, by CoStar
Naples’ retail vacancy is hovering around historic lows, remaining relatively unchanged over the past year to 4.1% as of the fourth quarter of 2023, a near record low. Limited new construction has been a key factor in keeping vacancy low here, as only 59,000 SF has delivered in the past 12 months. In addition, preleasing has been robust on the current pipeline of 97,000 SF, which will have minimal impact on the market’s vacancy rate in the near term. Naples’ vacancy is forecast to remain around 4% for the foreseeable future, in large part due to the limited construction pipeline and consistent demand.
The Naples market has one of the highest retail asking rates in Southwest Florida at $28.00/SF. Asking rate gains have been consistent over the past several years, hovering around the 4% to 5% range and are up 4.9% year over year as of the fourth quarter of 2023. Looking ahead, asking rent growth is forecast to decelerate here over the coming quarters eventually flattening by mid-2024.
