The Eureka Retail Velocity Index™

Dallas-Fort Worth Retail Leasing Trends & Market Momentum

This Month: DFW retail leasing posted its lowest Velocity Score of 2026, with volume and deal size declining for the third consecutive month. Rising vacancy and shrinking deal sizes signal a widening gap between newer product and aging inventory, though faster lease execution and modest rent gains suggest demand remains active yet increasingly selective.

The Eureka Retail Velocity Index™ is a proprietary monthly market intelligence product from Eureka Business Group tracking retail leasing activity, pricing momentum, vacancy compression, and negotiation leverage across the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The Eureka Retail Velocity Index™ is designed to provide actionable market intelligence for landlords, tenants, and investors operating in the middle-market retail segment. The index benchmarks current performance against trailing 12-month market averages to assess directional momentum.  The Velocity Score integrates leasing activity, pricing momentum, vacancy compression, and leasing efficiency. Scores range from 1.0 to 10.0. Data is collected from EBG proprietary leasing data and other sources such as CoStar® and CRExi®.
