Colliers International Reports Record Rents For World's Premier Retail Spaces



 SEATTLE, WA, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The most desirable global retail properties continue to show explosive year-over-year rental-rate growth despite continued economic uncertainty, according to a report just published by Colliers International's Retail Services Group.

Colliers' Summer 2012 Global Retail Highlights report looks closely at global industry trends and retail market performance indicators.

In the report, Ann Natunewicz (top right photo), National Manager of Retail Research for Colliers International's Retail Services Group and principal author of the report, explains:

"At a regional level, streets in areas that entered 2007-08 better-positioned economically --Australia, Canada, parts of Eastern Europe -- had a higher percentage of flat-to-higher rents than those slower to emerge from the recession.

We will be watching these areas closely: even as they represent some of the most attractive destinations for expansion-minded companies and yield-seeking investors, they too are vulnerable to softening consumer demand and, for those with reliable data, encroachment of e-commerce."
