About this file
This is a Retail Market and Redevelopment Analysis report prepared by Kosmont Companies for Sacramento County, evaluating select retail centers in unincorporated areas of the County. The analysis was commissioned due to concerns about declining economic performance and vacancy at retail properties. Sacramento County identified 21 retail locations for initial review, of which Kosmont completed site tours and compiled property information including land and building area, vacancy rates, and ownership profiles. Based on this initial assessment, Kosmont identified six centers for detailed analysis under its Retail NOW! framework: 6525 Florin Road, Country Club Centre, El Camino Plaza, Foothill Farms Shopping Center, Rio Linda Shopping Center, and Bradshaw Square. These six centers are all greater than four acres in land area and either have high vacancy rates of 50 percent or greater or were previously developed with significant retail uses. The report provides comprehensive market analysis, demographic profiles, retail capture and leakage data, traffic counts, public transportation accessibility, proximate retail competition, market fundamentals, and recommended revitalization strategies for each targeted center.
The report synthesizes national retail market trends indicating significant shifts driven by e-commerce proliferation, which has resulted in declining demand for physical retail square footage and increased retailer consolidation. Property operators are adapting by shifting tenant mixes toward uses generating regular patronage such as fitness clubs, medical offices, and grocery stores, as well as experiential uses including restaurants and entertainment venues. Many locations are incorporating residential, office, and hospitality uses to "right-size" retail development and create sustainable customer bases. The analysis identifies revitalization tools available to Sacramento County including facilitation of land use changes, Opportunity Zones designation, PACE programs, site-specific tax revenue pledges, development opportunity reserves, and market-based workouts. Data sources for the analysis include California State Board of Equalization, CBRE, CoStar, ESRI, U.S. Census Bureau, and other real estate and market research organizations, with figures current as of December 2018.

1.0 Executive Summary
Sacramento County (“County”) retained Kosmont Companies (“Kosmont”) to evaluate certain retail centers and corridors in unincorporated areas of the County. The retail locations were identified due to a concern about potential or actual declines in economic performance and vacancy.
The County identified, and Kosmont initially reviewed a total of 21 locations. Kosmont completed a site tour of each of these locations and compiled high level information including land and building area, vacancy rate, and the ownership profile for each.
Based on a review of this information Kosmont ultimately identified six centers for additional review under its Retail NOW!TM framework.
The six retail locations are all greater than four acres in land area, and either have high vacancy rates (i.e. 50% or greater), or if vacant, were previously developed with significant retail uses. Strategies to help facilitate the utilization of these properties were identified and are discussed herein. Ultimately, elements of these strategies may be appropriate for consideration and application to the balance of the 15 properties.
The decline in economic performance at retail properties within the County is indicative of a new reality being faced across the Country in the retail market. The proliferation of e-commerce and online retail sales is dramatically impacting the physical environment. Physical retail stores are facing declining sales performance, and as a result many retailers are consolidating locations, and decreasing store footprints. The demand for physical retail square footage within a given community is decreasing and being replaced by demand for warehouse and fulfillment centers in proximate but peripheral locations. These trends are expected to persist as e-commerce continues to expand into once protected market segments.
Property operators and developers are shifting tenant mixes and land uses to adapt to the broad shifts in the retail world.
Tenants that generate regular trips and patronage to a location such as fitness clubs, medical offices, and grocery stores are increasingly sought after, as are tenants that provide experiential and entertainment functions such as restaurants, and sports / game uses. Many locations are seeing the replacement of retail square footage with residential, office and hospitality uses in effort to “right size” retail development, and create a regular customer base.
Most, if not all retail locations will ultimately have to adapt to the changing retail landscape. However, the speed with which property owners adapt can vary significantly. The County may be able to help accelerate the adaptation of stagnate retail sites to programs that are more viable over the long term.
A discussion of national retail trends, County real estate fundamentals, County retail sales trends, sample revitalization tools, and a review of retail locations follow.

Retail Center Classification
In evaluating retail markets and centers, it is useful to first understand the traditional types of retail centers. Retail centers are primarily classified based on (i) their overall size in gross leasable area (“GLA”), (ii) the type and number of tenants that occupy the center, and (iii) the format of the center (i.e. indoor, outdoor, themed buildings). These characteristics ultimately influence market segments and market areas served. ICSC’s classification for shopping centers is provided in Table 1 below.

3.0 National Retail Market Trends
The national retail market is transitioning due the shift in retail sales from an exclusively in person experience at physical retail stores (“brick and mortar”) to online sales. While e-commerce is not expected to make physical retail locations obsolete, it is dramatically shifting the brick and mortar landscape. As discussed below, e-commerce is driving the segmentation of retail markets and store closures, while also driving the expansion of unique, entertainment, and experience-based retailers and tenants.
Online Retail Sales
The biggest shift in retail of late is the move in sales from traditional brick and mortar locations to online sales. Credit Suisse Equity Research analysts estimate that within the next 10 years 30-40% of retail sales will be completed online. This is having a direct impact on the ability of brick and mortar retailers to maintain the number and size of stores in a given market. There are a few advantages that physical stores have over e-commerce such as immediate access to goods (i.e. no wait for shipping), the ability to try on clothing on the spot, and shopping experience. However, these competitive advantages are being eroded as e-commerce evolves. Online retailers are compressing distribution times from multi-day to single day to same day delivery, testing the ability to try on clothing virtually, and are beginning to open small physical showroom locations where customers can try on or inspect goods purchased online.
A retailer that holds large quantities of inventory in multiple 100,000 plus square foot stores is now competing with retailers that can hold inventory in consolidated warehouses in locations with low real estate costs but in close enough proximity to rapidly distribute goods directly to consumers, or to small showrooms (i.e. 2,000 – 5,000 square feet). This trend is also driving an increase in demand for industrial properties proximate to consumer markets for fulfillment centers and to facilitate last mile delivery.
Online retailer’s efforts to continually improve the e-commerce experience, demographic shifts, and rapid adoption of technology by younger cohorts is expected to continue to drive reductions in typical physical store sizes and counts. A summary of the current frequency of online shopping by age group follows in Table 2 below.
Table 2: Frequency of Online Shopping by Age Group
Frequent Occasional Infrequent
Age Shop at least once per week Shop at least once per month Shop at least once per year
18-29 35% 41% 24% 30-39 37% 35% 28% 40-49 23% 35% 42% 50-64 17% 38% 45% 65+ 11% 31% 58%
RETAIL MARKET & REDEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS – SELECT RETAIL CENTERS 12
Over time the frequency and volume of online shopping will increase and e-commerce will continue to penetrate further into traditional retailer segments. Online retailers are continually testing new business models and improving technology to expand reach into market segments currently dominated by physical retail locations. A summary of current penetration rates of online retailers for various market segments / product categories follows in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: E-commerce Penetration by Market Segment / Product Category
RETAIL MARKET & REDEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS – SELECT RETAIL CENTERS 13
Segmentation of Clothing Retail Markets
As clothing retail sales move and expand online, sales at brick and mortar locations are becoming increasingly segmented into off-price, fast fashion, and high fashion segments, and the space once occupied by many department stores such as Macy’s, J.C. Penny, and middle market retailers is decreasing.
Off-price retailers such as TJ Maxx (Marshall’s and HomeGoods parent), Ross, and Burlington have experienced notable sales growth of late despite having no online presence.
High fashion retailers such as Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue and are seeing growth augmented by online sales, and fast fashion segments such as H&M, Zara, and Old Navy are experiencing mixed in store sales growth, but generally seeing online sales growth.
There are three pertinent results of these shifts. First, large middle market department stores such as Macy’s and J.C.
Penny are closing locations, and large high fashion department stores are only opening new stores in select markets, leaving many large department store buildings in secondary and tertiary locations vacant. Second, retailers in lower tier fast fashion segments that are growing don’t require large store footprints, and don’t serve as strong anchor tenants (i.e. a department store or other strong tenant that drives visits to a retail center).
As a result, these retailers typically seek to be in a location with other customer attractors / drivers, and it takes multiple tenants in the category to occupy large amounts of retail square footage. Third, retail centers are following the segmentation at the store level, and increasingly positioned as either (i) an outlet mall, (ii) a high-end mall, or (iii) a regional / super-regional mall large enough to accommodate a collection of high fashion, fast fashion, middle market, and off-price retailers.
Store Closure & Aggregation
As sales move online, many existing retail stores are not able to sustain sales at levels sufficient to justify ongoing operation at a given location. As a result, many retailers are closing store locations. The closure of stores is occurring primarily in secondary and tertiary markets, though even primary markets are seeing consolidation and aggregation. Markets that once supported multiple stores are becoming single store markets as retailers “rationalize” their physical presence to meet market demand. Retailers reducing store counts have their choice as to where to locate or remain, and property owners are chasing the same retailers. This is especially true of the grocers that serve as anchors in many of the smaller neighborhood centers in the County. Should anchor stores vacate a given center, the viability of that center can quickly deteriorate. Credit Suisse Equity Research analysts predict that 20 to 25% of mall type retail centers in the US will be closed by 2022.
Viable Tenant Segments & Positioning
Despite the continuing move of retail sales to e-commerce platforms, some retailer and tenant segments are poised to retain some competitive advantages over e-commerce. Brick and mortar retail’s primary competitive advantage is its inherent ability to provide a tactile, curated experience. Further, restaurants and drinking oriented establishments are thriving as younger demographic groups seek more experience-based
RETAIL MARKET & REDEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS – SELECT RETAIL CENTERS 14
consumption in-lieu of physical product and ownership-based consumption.
Retail stores best positioned to weather the e-commerce transition tend to have small footprints, provide unique products, a social experience, and have an online experience that integrates with the physical store (“omni-channel” retailers).
Additionally, retail property owners are focusing on increasing the presence of non-retail tenants such as restaurants, entertainment venues, medical providers, gyms, and other similar tenants that drive visits and allow patrons to shop while completing other errands.
Tenant Mixes of Successful Retail Centers
The success of a given retail center or mall is reliant on its ability to attract a complimentary mix of tenants appropriate for the patrons being targeted. Centers in affluent areas will tend to have a greater number of tenants offering higher-end merchandise, while centers serving middle and lower tier segments will tend to have a mix of tenants that provide mid-market and discount or “off-price” merchandise. Retailers will determine which centers to locate in based on which tenants will also be at a given location, and will choose locations with other stores that target similar segments of shoppers. A complementary mix of tenants helps promote the success of each individual tenant.
Vacancy Reduces Patronage
A fully tenanted center is more appealing to patrons than a center with a significant number of vacant store fronts. Thus, a fully leased 100,000 square foot center will typically be more appealing, attractive to patrons, and yield greater overall sales performance than a 200,000 square foot center with the same 100,000 square feet of tenants, and 100,000 square feet of vacant space. Patrons want to shop in a location that feels active, and alive.
Subdivision of Empty Leaseholds
Given the trends of consolidation and downsizing in the retail market, the universe of potential tenants for larger format spaces is decreasing. This results in large empty shells with limited prospects for retenanting in their existing configurations.
As a result, property owners often propose to subdivide larger spaces. Unfortunately, the resulting configuration is often less than ideal due to deep and narrow formats, dog leg configurations, and/or the addition and reorientation of store fronts. Absent a complete rebuild, there may be no alternative for retenanting these spaces. Examples of building subdivisions follow in Figure 2 and Figure 3 below.

Addition of Residential & Other Land Uses
Retail center owners are increasingly pursuing the conversion of existing retail space to residential uses, and/or the addition of residential and other land uses as part of center revitalization programs.
A local example of this is the proposed redevelopment of the University Mall in Davis. The proposed project contemplates the demolition of approximately 90,700 square feet of the existing 103,700 square feet of retail uses, and construction of 264 residential units, and approximately 136,800 square feet of new retail uses. The finished project will include a total of approximately 150,000 square feet of retail uses, 412,500 square feet of residential uses, 200 surface parking spaces, and approximately 500 structured parking spaces on an approximately 8.25-acre parcel. A rendering of the proposed project follows in Figure 4 below.
Figure 4: University Mall Redevelopment Rendering
Summary of National Retail Market Trends
• Within 10 years 30-40% of all retail sales projected to occur online.
• Retailers are decreasing the square footage of their typical store and testing small format e-commerce “showroom” prototypes.
• Stores and retail centers are segregating into outlet / off-price versus high-end segments.
• Retailers are closing and aggregating stores; markets that formerly had two or three locations may only have one in the future. Large retailers in the mid-market segment are being especially hard hit.
• Retailers that are unable to adapt to market changes are going bankrupt.
• Some, though very few retailers are increasing store counts.
• Successful retailers are focusing on omni-channel experiences which helps increase brick and mortar retail sales and retain the relevance of physical store locations.
• Centers are focusing on having a mix of experience, food, entertainment, and trip generating tenants for viability.
• Retail centers are adding and combining residential, hospitality and office uses in blended use projects to generate patronage and activate retail components.

4.0 General County Market Conditions
Population & Income
Sacramento County is home to approximately 1.5 million residents, of which approximately 600,000 live in unincorporated portions of the County. The majority of the population lives in urban and suburban environments in the City of Sacramento and the communities to the northeast, east, and south.
There are a total of seven incorporated cities within the County.
Of these seven, the five largest cities (Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento) are regularly compared herein. The remaining two cities, Galt and Rio Vista, are limited in population, and for consistency between data sources are included in “Balance of County” figures (“BoC”, “unincorporated County”)
With the exception of Sacramento, all of the Cities evaluated have populations with incomes marginally to significantly greater than the unincorporated County median household (“HH”) income of approximately $56,000. Interestingly, the average household income in the unincorporated County of approximately $82,500 is somewhat higher than the Cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento.
This is likely due to some households in the unincorporated County with comparatively elevated income levels. Additional details follow in Figure 5 and Table 3 below.

Retail Market
Retail market performance appears moderately healthy overall, though individual center performance varies widely. While market area vacancy rate averages 10.0%, the median is substantially lower, at 3.5%. This is indicative of the fact that there are some centers with substantially elevated vacancy rates.
Market rents in area neighborhood centers average approximately $22 per square foot per year for non-anchor tenants, and approximately $15 per square foot for anchor tenants. Market rents in area community centers average approximately $27 per square foot for non-anchor tenants, and approximately $16 per square foot for anchor tenants.
Table 4: Neighborhood Center Rent & Vacancy
Table 5: Community Center Rent & Vacancy
Approximately 50% of area retail development was constructed between 1980 and 1999, approximately 24% was constructed before 1980, and approximately 23% was constructed between 2000 – 2009. Only 2% of all retail development was constructed subsequent to 2009.
Over the last year, the 25th to 75 percentile of property sales have yielded retail cap rates ranging from 5.0% - 9.8%, and per square foot values ranging from $114 to $298 per square foot.

Office Market
Similar to the retail market, office market performance appears moderately healthy overall, though individual building performance varies widely. The average vacancy rate in the metro market area is 19.2%, while the median is substantially lower at 11.6%. This variance is likely due to a significant number of buildings with vacancy rates greater than 35%.
Market rents in area range from lows of approximately $12 per square foot per year to highs of approximately $40 per square foot, and average approximately $26 per square foot. Average rents do not appear to be heavily influenced by building age.
Approximately 56% of area office development was constructed between 1980 and 1999, approximately 16% was constructed before 1980, and approximately 27% was constructed between
2000 – 2009. Only 1% of all office development was constructed subsequent to 2009.
Over the last year, the 25th to 75 percentile of property sales have yielded office cap rates ranging from 4.9% - 8.3%, and per square foot values ranging from $121 to $219 per square foot.
There is currently more than 700,000 square feet of office space under construction within the greater market area, and more than 14 million square feet planned or proposed for development.

Multifamily Residential Market
The multifamily residential market appears to be strong with the vast majority of buildings in the market area performing well.
The average vacancy rate in the metro market area is 2.8%, while the median is moderately lower at 2.4%
Average market rents in the area range from lows of approximately $1.20 per square foot per month for larger units in less expensive areas, to highs of approximately $2.00 per square foot for smaller units in more expensive areas. Average residential rents are heavily influenced by building age.
Approximately 45% of area multifamily residential development was constructed between 1980 and 1999, approximately 37% was constructed before 1980, and approximately 15% was constructed between 2000 – 2009. Only 3% of all multifamily residential development was constructed subsequent to 2009.

5.0 Retail Sales
Historic retail sales performance can be used to help identify a potential surplus or deficit of retail supply with a given market.
Taxable retail sales are regularly reported by retail category for large geographic areas and/or population centers. Retail performance can be measured in a number of ways by evaluating this information.
Two primary metrics evaluated herein are the volume of sales per person (per capita), from which estimates can be made as to whether an area is capturing more or less than it’s expected share of retail. When an area has more taxable sales volumes than would be expected given the area’s population and income it is said to be “capturing” sales. When an area has lower taxable sales volumes than would be expected, it is said to have sales “leakage”. A summary of historic taxable sales per capita for the largest cities in the County, and unincorporated areas follows in Figure 9 below. A detailed summary of historic taxable sales follows in Table 11 below.

As illustrated in Figure 9 and Table 11 above, the unincorporated areas of the County tend to have lower sales volumes per capita than the incorporated areas. The performance per retail store in the Balance of County also tends to be lower than the incorporated areas, though this figure can be skewed by higher numbers of smaller retail locations.
Interestingly the growth in taxable sales within the Balance of County was strong, and comparatively better than most of the

Leakage
As previously introduced, reported taxable sales can be evaluated in conjunction with population and income levels to predict whether an area has excess retail and is capturing more sales than would be expected, or not enough retail, and is experiencing a leakage of sales. Figure 10 below illustrates this evaluation for the County as a whole, and suggests that the County has more General Merchandise, Food, Building Materials, and Electronics & Appliance sales than would be expected. Further, the County has fewer Food Service
(Restaurant), Miscellaneous, Sporting Goods & Hobby, Clothing, Gasoline, Health & Personal Care, Furniture, and Motor Vehicle sales than would be expected. For reference, some Sporting Goods & Hobby and Clothing sales may be occurring at General Merchandise stores, and some Health & Personal Care sales may be occurring at General Merchandise stores and/or Food stores. Finally, Clothing, Sporting Goods & Hobby, are especially prone to leakage to e-commerce / online sales (please see Figure 1 on page 12 above).

Table 14 below illustrates a similar calculation as provided in Figure 10 above, however provides detail by unincorporated County and major city. Positive figures denote sales leakage, while negative figures denote sales capture. Key highlights are that the cities of Citrus Heights and Rancho Cordova are capturing more than their expected share of sales, the unincorporated County achieved $1.75 billion less sales volume than would be expected, and the County as a whole experienced approximately $2.64 billion less sales volume than would be expected. For reference, approximately $1.23 billion of the $2.64 billion is attributable to motor vehicle sales.
Possible explanations for the performance within the unincorporated County include losses to untaxed online sales, and leakage to competitive retail centers in incorporated areas of the County and/or outside the County that attract unincorporated County residents due to superior quality, retailer offerings, proximity, and/or ease of access.
