Yes, there is a lot of pain in the CRE market and there are plenty of vacancies in most of the larger shopping centers but there is also retail and restaurant growth still happening. If this is the kind of expansion and growth during the worst recession, in the “worst housing market” then I can’t wait to see what things will be like when there *is* economic growth or stability.
