Retail activity in Orange County remains resilient, with TenantBase searches showing sustained demand for both short and long-term leases. Specifically, 33.9% of retail tenants preferred three years or less, while a significant 24.6% sought 5+ year terms, illustrating confidence from businesses investing in physical locations.
The most active retail submarkets include Anaheim, Huntington Beach, and Santa Ana—dense, consumer-heavy areas with high foot traffic and tourism appeal. Notably, lease terms are more evenly distributed across ranges, signaling both new ventures and entrenched retailers positioning for the long term.
