The Charleston Retail Market remains strong and with vacancy at 3.30% for Q2 2025. We are not having any issues backfilling larger spaces when a tenant vacates and second-generation restaurant space is in high demand. National retailers continue to be interested in the market. The shortage of space is creating challenges, as limited options and rising CAM charges—driven by increasing property taxes and inflation—may be reaching an inflection point in the next 2 to 4 years.
