Retail real estate in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) is nearing its cyclical peak, and users that want to continue expanding in the metroplex are being hamstrung by a lack of quality space and surging rents.

According to CoStar Group, DFW’s retail vacancy rate currently stands at 4.4 percent, a record low that the research firm expects to hold steady or even improve in the coming years. Rents have grown by more than 3 percent annually over the last five years, and are now 15 percent higher than their pre-recession peaks.

After the success of Broadway breakfast hotspot Hatch, a second location is set for north Oklahoma City.

Fitzsimmons Architects, the designers behind the first Hatch, have included many of the first model’s designs in its plans for the second Hatch model, set for the Chisholm Creek development at Memorial and Western.

The new location - between Fuzzy’s Tacos and Republic - will have a second level and patio as well as a breakfast bar.

Every time Thrive hires a new employee, Taylor Richardson, chief executive of the residential and commercial independent insurance agency, takes his entire team to happy hour the following Friday.

These days, that's an easy thing for Richardson to make happen, as his company, the beginning of the year, moved into Chisholm Creek's Tract 30 development south of the Kilpatrick Turnpike off Western Avenue. Thrive — which Richardson recently re-branded with a new name and logo — leases 6,300 square feet of sunlit third-floor space, just above Fuzzy's Taco Shop.

On the development front, the second half of the year was characterized by the completion or near completion of planned projects: The Market at Czech Hall is nearing completion of phase one including Academy, Ross & Marshalls (approximately 180,000 square feet); Sooner Rose at Southeast 15th & Sooner with Academy and Hobby Lobby; Shoppes at Quail Springs is nearly complete as well (96,000 square feet); University North Park has added two outbuildings and three stand-alone restaurants; Winco is under construction in Moore and will start construction soon in three other locations; Chi

Fuzzy's Taco Shop will be the first tenant to open its doors in Chisholm Creek's Tract 30 development next week.

Construction is complete on the 80,000-square-foot, mixed-use development near Memorial Road at Western Avenue, and tenants are beginning to build out restaurant and office spaces in the building.

Construction has started on the first residential piece of the Chisholm Creek development. The 287-unit multifamily project will take about two years, said Gary Brooks, a developer on the project.  Brooks is working with Texas-based developer Charlie Nicholas, whose company, NE Construction, is also the general contractor...In total, the project is expected to cost about $40 million...Brooks said he’s excited about the location of their current project in Chisholm Creek.

Construction is wrapping up on the latest piece of the 190-acre Chisholm Creek development in northwest Oklahoma City.  Tract 30, a multilevel building, will feature a mix of shops, restaurants and office space. Businesses expect to be open in Tract 30 late this summer.

Development work at Chisholm Creek has continued at a steady pace, despite the effect low oil and gas prices are having on the local economy, said Whitney Rainbolt, a spokeswoman for developer The Medallion Group.
