CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) reported that U.S. retail construction activity in Q2 2026 remained near post‑pandemic lows, with roughly 72.1 million square feet under construction. This volume is up just 0.9% year over year and remains below the 10‑year average of about 78.9 million square feet, indicating a constrained development environment.
According to CoStar, higher land prices, construction costs and interest rates have pushed required rents above prevailing market levels for many formats, limiting viable projects. New retail construction is concentrated in 15 markets that represent nearly 47% of the national pipeline, led by Dallas, Houston and Austin, which together account for 21% of U.S. space under construction, or about 15 million square feet.
CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) appointed Robin Rossmann as Chief Financial Officer, effective July 31, 2026, succeeding Christian Lown, who is leaving to pursue an opportunity outside the company’s industry. Rossmann will report to Founder and CEO Andy Florance and lead CoStar Group’s global finance organization, overseeing financial and operational performance, capital allocation, planning and investor engagement.
Rossmann currently serves as Managing Director, Europe, and has eliminated approximately $51 million in European costs over the past two years, about 25% of the region’s cost structure, while delivering double-digit revenue growth and launching CoStar in France. The company stated that Lown’s departure does not stem from any disagreement regarding operations, policies or practices.
CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) reported that U.S. office tenants signed an estimated 115 million square feet of new leases in Q2 2026, slightly below the 2015–2019 quarterly average.

Nearly half of the 20 largest office markets still see depressed volume and weak deal counts. The data reflect only new lease commitments executed through the end of Q2 2026, excluding renewals, which CoStar Group notes typically have limited impact on occupancy.
