1 Research & Forecast Report > MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL Retail Q Shifts in Consumer Demand Inspire New Retail Uses Vacancy and Absorption Trends The third quarter of 2017 returned a negative 153,000 square feet of absorption in the multi-tenant market, bringing the overall vacancy rate to 6.4%. This is an increase from last quarter when the vacancy rate was 6.2%. Year-to-date, the retail market is at negative 66,000 square feet of absorption. The five largest changes in vacancy this quarter were the result of closures and counted as negative in our total market statistics. Gordmans closed two stores, the 66,000-squarefoot Roseville location and the 45,000-square-foot Coon Rapids location. Additionally affecting multi-tenant vacancy was the closure several Gander Mountain stores. Q3 Market Indicators VACANCY NET ABSORPTION RENTAL RATE Relative to prior period MSP Retail Submarket Map The largest change in quarter three was the closing of JC Penny in Southdale Mall. A portion of the vacated space has already been signed by Lifetime Fitness. During construction, the space will be counted as vacant. The largest positive absorption was Hobby Lobby who occupied 52,000 square feet in Burnhill Plaza in Burnsville. 94 NORTHWEST W NORTHEAST 35E The Minneapolis CBD was a strong performing submarket in terms of absorption, with the largest change in vacancy happening this quarter with Nordstrom Rack opening in a long-vacant space in the IDS Crystal Court. The CBD however does retain the highest vacancy percentage of any submarket overall. Downtown retail is still a small market in comparison to suburban submarkets. The Southeast has the most absorption both this quarter and year-to-date, thanks in part to new construction in Eagan and Woodbury. Total retail sales volume this quarter was just over $130 million in the Minneapolis-St Paul metro. This is the second lowest quarterly total volume sales number in the last three years. Expectations are that the year will close with a below-average sales volume total for SOUTHWEST MINNEAPOLIS CBD W E ST. PAUL CBD SOUTHEAST

2 MARKET INSIGHTS > Adding customer pick-up services Vacancy 6.5% Major tenants including Target, Whole Foods, HyVee and Walmart are all launching curb-side pickup for online orders. The installation of several drive-up-only parking spots to existing parking is giving the brick-and-mortar stores a way into market share for online shopping with no delivery. Even more work by grocery retailers is being done to advance the online ordering process including an app that will automatically know when you are parked at a pick-up location and waiting for delivery. Potential hurdles include city zoning and lower parking ratios which may limit pickup options. 6.0% 5.5% 5.0$ 4.5% 4.0% Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q Grocery s new biggest customer Absorption Current household cooking and shopping behavior is drastically different than previous generations. Families today are just not spending as much time shopping for, preparing and cooking food as they have in the past. There has been a rise in demand of pre-made food or pre-measured and boxed meals, common through online ordering services. Traditional grocers are taking note and adding these to their existing stores. HyVee has invested in a new product line called Meals to Go which are pre-measured meals for two that just need to be cooked according to the chef-made attached directions. Other grocers are launching similar programs with the goal to more broadly appeal to changing customer bases. 600, , ,000 0 (200,000) (400,000) (600,000) (800,000) Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q Lease Activity TENANT PROPERTY ADDRESS CITY LEASED SF SUBMARKET Petco Southtown Shopping Center 7801 American Blvd W Bloomington 12,000 Southwest Pet Supplies Plus Burnhill Plaza 1200 County Road 42 W Burnsville 8,342 Southeast CoV Galleria Shops 3460 W 69th St Edina 8,000 Southwest Tri-Valley Opportunity Council, Inc.

3 Investor mindset shift Investors are continuing to evolve how retail opportunities are viewed. In the past, investors were interested in any building that had good, brand name tenants. As retail evolves, some tenants which were once thought of as safe bets are now struggling. If these tenants exit the market or close, the investor is then left holding a poor asset. Today, in order to plan for contingencies and backfilling strategies, investors are getting smarter and focusing on properties that also have strong location, access and visibility. Top tenants will still drive the most interest, but investors are putting more thought into the physical real estate than previously before. More private education options coming to a retail center near you? Traditional retail buildings with larger vacancies could see non-traditional users like charter schools looking more intently at their space. According to the Minnesota Department of Education, in the last 5 years traditional school district enrollment has increased by 2% while charter school enrollment has increased by 36%. All these new and quickly growing charter schools need more space. Retail spaces serve as viable options as these buildings already have the access and proximity to population that charter schools would look for in site selection.

4 Spotlight Trend: Retail Openings Outpacing Closings It makes for an easy headline whenever there is a big-name retail tenant closing. It focuses on the name recognition of the tenant and backs up the premise that e-commerce is killing traditional retail. The story that brick-and-mortar is dying is not only premature, it is also inaccurate. The reality is that there are far more openings than closings, they just don't make the headlines. This year, IHL Group reported that retail chains and restaurants are opening 4,000 more units in the US than are closing. That gap is expected to continue to grow next year with an excess of 5,000 more opening nationally than closings. Unsurprisingly, name brands of national tenants closing get more attention than smaller or new brands entering a market. We are going through a time when specialized retailers are gaining momentum over catch-all retailers and department stores. What this is leaving us with is more, smaller retailers versus a few large big-box and Regional Mall-anchoring retailers. The total market share for e-commerce is still below 10% of all retail spending in the United States. So while that sector of the retail pie may be increasing, it is not destroying retailers that are being proactive in evolving their business. Evolving goes both ways, with many online retailers moving into brick-andmortar locations. Moving from clicks to bricks. Clothing stores Athleta, Bonobos, Boston Proper, Fabletics and Frank & Oak are all opening stores. So are accessory retailers like Warby Parker, Birchbox and BaubleBar who are moving to physical locations to complement their online presence. Retail is shifting, but all the data indicates the type of retailer is what is changing, rather that the demand for physical retail space. Headlines of well-known company closures certainly seems to paint a negative picture for brick-and-mortar stores. In reality, the picture is not as bleak for the overall retail market as it may appear. Janet Olson Associate Retail Brokerage Direct janet.olson@colliers.com MARKET INSIGHTS > (cont.) Millennials are moving target By population, the largest age generation, and soon to be the largest by purchasing power is the Millennial generation. Appealing to consumers from the Millennial generation is key to long term retail sustainability. Generally considered people born between 1980 and 2000, as they age, the millennial generation is a changing demographic. That gap today means millennials are age Spending habits will change as more enter home-owning or family creating ages - which is already being seen. Optics seem to still view the millennial generation as very young, but in reality their buying power has matured into more substantial life purchases. Growing too quickly? Retail is in the midst of an expansion period with many retailers taking on aggressive growth plans. One driver of this growth is private equity investment. Investors want to push for market share, a larger top line income and brand recognition to boost overall valuation of the company. Competing retailers are feeling pressure to keep up with the industry and are implementing plans for the fast track as well. The worry is that the balance sheet of some of these retailers could be in worse shape because the push for more locations over-extends finances and may be unsustainable. Landlords would be wise to educate themselves about new or growing retailer sales as much as possible.
