The big picture
CIM Group’s sale of Best Buy Plaza comes amid a broader trend of real estate investors reassessing retail holdings in response to shifting consumer preferences and e-commerce pressures.

With over $60 billion in projects delivered, CIM’s move may reflect a strategic pivot toward higher-growth or more resilient asset classes.
