This week on Commercial Real Estate Secrets, I sit down with Brittany Megrath, owner and principal broker at M Square Commercial, to dig into the evolving world of retail real estate and ground-up development. From fast-food drive-thrus to the explosion of Las Vegas, Brittany shares what’s working in retail, why land pricing is more critical than ever, and how developers are adapting to a high-cost, high-uncertainty market.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why retail—especially service-based pad sites—is thriving
- The impact of inflation, tariffs, and interest rates on development
- Why land pricing is the most negotiable (and risky) part of a deal
- The rise of Las Vegas from mom-and-pop town to institutional hotspot
- Lease escalation trends post-COVID and how CPI clauses are changing the game
- The real hustle behind being a successful CRE broker
