Industrial Vacancies Drop, Rents Increase Despite Record New Supply
Industrial real estate rents increased and vacancies continued declining through November of 2022 despite a record amount of new supply hitting the market, according to the latest U.S. industrial market report from CommercialEdge. Released just before Christmas, the report found that rents on in-place leases rose 6.5% nationally year over year, while the national vacancy rate dipped to 3.8%.
The new development pipeline also continued to increase, overcoming inflation-driven backlogs and bottlenecks along the supply chain. There were 742.3 million square feet of industrial space under construction as November ended, CommercialEdge reported.
Port markets led in November in both new leases and in-place rent growth. In line with trends seen in the past two years, Southern California in-place rents have climbed at the fastest rate, driven by double-digit growth in the Inland Empire and Los Angeles. On the East Coast, Boston and New Jersey saw the strongest rent hikes.
