Future trends in German real estate w.r.t. retail properties: "Die Verlierer sind die Eigentümer der nicht mehr marktgerechten Immobilien, die sich an bestimmten Standorten und Lagen (B-Lagen, Streulagen) konzentrieren, so dass es hier zu Leerstand, Verweisung und Verfall („Downgrading“) kommen kann."
Have no idea. In sport it would be relegation to a lower league. Could this be meant figuratively here? (Germans being big football fans!). Also thought of "Verwesung" incorrectly spelled.
Many thanks.

Steffen Walter
: "Verweisung" does look odd here. I'd translate "Leerstand, Verweisung und Verfall" as "vacancies [vacant properties], downgrading and dereliction", or "vacancies, abandonment and dereliction" if it's indeed "VerwAisung".

: with Steffen. Only "Verwaisung" makes sense here.
