VACANCIES SLOWLY RISE

Vacancies rose for the 11th straight quarter at shopping centers, according to Reis Inc.'s latest data. However, absorption at 8.1 million square feet was the highest since the fourth quarter of 2005. Further, asking and effective rents also continued to rise, although effective rents grew at just 0.4 percent for the second straight quarter — the slowest pace since 2003.
