Report: Atlanta Industrial Market Posts Stronger Than Expected Q3

The Atlanta industrial market experienced a stronger than expected third quarter, absorbing just over 6.2 million square feet, according to Colliers’ Atlanta Q3 2019 Industrial report. Atlanta also had the second highest amount of space absorbed nationwide in Q3, behind only Chicago.

Atlanta’s top submarket in terms of absorption during Q3 was South Atlanta. A number of large tenants such as PVH Corp. (982,777 square feet), Coca-Cola Bottling (415,000 square feet), and CEVA Logistics (400,000 square feet) took occupancy in South Atlanta in Q3.

Additionally, the average industrial rent for Atlanta reached a record high during Q3, increasing to $4.85-per-square-foot NNN. Despite leading the Atlanta market in absorption, South Atlanta’s overall rental rate remained level. The submarket continues to see new product deliver, but it is most exposed to large vacancies, according to Colliers.

Connect Industrial 2019 is coming to Houston on Nov. 19. For more information, or to register, click here.
