In October, national in-place rents for industrial properties averaged $8.22 per square foot, an increase of 6.8% year-over-year (Y-o-Y), as reported in a recent industrial study<\/a> by CommercialCafe.<\/a> While Miami<\/a> led rent growth at 11% annually, its ascendance is a rare deviation from southern California\u2019s historical dominance. For instance, the Inland Empire, once synonymous with industrial demand, saw the premium on new leases drop from $9.32 per square foot in 2023 to $3.17 this year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the broader rent landscape reflects a cooling of once white-hot markets. Even as national vacancy rates inched up to 7.2%, Orange County<\/a> maintained its position as the tightest Western market, tying with Charlotte, N.C.<\/a>, at a 4.3% vacancy rate. These shifts suggest that industrial tenants \u2014 once laser-focused on proximity to consumer bases \u2014 are now weighing the suitability of spaces for high-tech adaptations.<\/p>\n

Construction Activity Slows in Phoenix & Dallas, but Picks Up in Inland Empire<\/h2>\n

Developers have scaled back significantly with 358.8 million square feet under construction as of October \u2014 down sharply from 2021-2022 peaks. The slowdown mirrors a broader recalibration in the sector as speculative builds cool in the face of stabilizing demand.<\/p>\n

However, some regions remain resilient. For example, the Inland Empire in California saw new construction start to recover with 9 million square feet breaking ground in 2024 compared to just 7 million last year. Even so, markets like Dallas-Fort Worth<\/a> and Phoenix<\/a>, which were previously at the forefront of the industrial pipeline, are witnessing notable slowdowns, thereby reflecting broader caution among developers.<\/p>\n

Dallas & Chicago Post Sales Gains, SoCal Faces Decline<\/h2>\n

Year-to-date, $49.2 billion worth of industrial properties changed hands at an average of $129 per square foot. While total sales volume slightly lags behind 2023 figures, the anticipated easing of interest rates is expected to reignite investor interest.<\/p>\n

Regionally, markets like Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago<\/a> have seen transaction volumes rise by $1.1 billion and $678 million, respectively, while southern California has cooled significantly. In particular, Los Angeles recorded a $2.2 billion drop in sales volume, marking a stark contrast to its prior dominance in the sector.<\/p>\n
