The retail world may be facing challenges this year, but the North Texas market looks strong even if there’s a question on what could happen in the future.
A new report by Weitzman, the real estate firm, shows that the occupancy rate continues to sit at 95.1%, a record level. And based on what’s in the pipeline to open this year, new deliveries are set to almost double this year.
That’s all despite some well-known names closing down all or some of their stores. Joann, Macy’s, Party City and others have shaken up the landscape. And recently, Tom Thumb and Kroger announced three combined store closures in the region.
Dallas is benefiting from strong population growth, housing expansion and a dynamic business environment that’s helping propel an already solid market. The Weitzman report said the outlook for the rest of the year — and going into 2026 — is generally positive.

Still, there are concerns. Among them is the possible rising costs for global trade. Retailers throughout the country are grappling with costs that could rise from a change of duties on imports and potentially slow growth.
“Deals can take longer to close as tenants consider potential tariffs, inflation, interest rates and other economic uncertainties,” the report said.
In addition, tariffs, along with inflation and higher interest rates, have affected construction costs and materials.
“That can both delay new projects and result in higher tenant finish-out costs for existing projects,” the report said.
Still, there is some resilience and, amid the growth, demand for places to buy groceries continues to be a driver in the region. The grocery-anchored community category will get a majority of the new space for the remainder of 2025, the report said.
“The market’s occupancy stabilized in the face of chain closings due to strong tenant demand for existing space, including large-format vacancies created by closed department stores and power retailers and junior box vacancies,” the report said.
The occupancy rate of about 95% is based on Weitzman’s review of D-FW’s retail market inventory of approximately 200 million square feet of space in multi-tenant retail projects with 25,000 square feet or more. D-FW has reported occupancy above 90% each year since 2013, it said.
