Vacancies at U.S. shopping malls climbed to the highest in at least a decade, according to Reis Inc.'s annual report. The New York-based property-research company reported that regional and super-regional mall vacancies have risen to 9.4 percent—a nearly 1 percent increase from a year earlier. It attributes the U.S. unemployment rate that is depressing consumer confidence, and online stores that draw more customers, to sharply decreasing stores' revenue.
