Commercial real estate is a whole world within itself. Some markets have been overbuilt for years. And the commercial markets in many areas are contracting due to the internet and shifting shopping habits. I'm very head shy about commercial properties. One of the biggest investment companies in the regional mall business has found itself in BK court. Who would have thought that? And think about the well-established chain stores going out of business -- ie. Sears, etc... That's terrible news for the commercial real estate market.

As an active participant in the retail commercial real estate industry, I agree that retailer failures are a cause for concern. However, retail is not going away, it is just changing.

Much has been written about the "Amazon Effect" and the impact of Walmart on retailers of all sizes. However, just as in many other industries that have experienced secular change over the years, adaptability is the key, and the landlords that don't adapt or don't have the resources to adapt, are the ones that will lose their properties. And that creates new opportunity for acquisition and redevelopment.
