Benefiting from its position, robust rail and airport systems, Chicago\u2019s industrial market remains strong and adaptable. Despite a pipeline reduction to half of last year\u2019s volume, the metro remains one of the most active markets for industrial development. As of the end of August, the Windy City had 10.3 million square feet of industrial space under construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago\u2019s industrial market continued to demonstrate its strength this year, leading the Midwest with $1.9 billion in transactions during the first eight months, and ranking fourth nationally in sales volume. Below, we\u2019ve compiled CommercialEdge data for a current overview of the Windy City\u2019s industrial market performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving success in industrial sales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chicago led the Midwest with industrial sales amounting to $1.9 billion during the first eight months of this year, ranking fourth nationally, according to CommercialEdge data. A total of 165 properties changed hands in the metro, totaling 20.8 million square feet. Assets traded at an average of $98 per square foot, the highest in the region but still well below the national average of $132 per square foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Inland Empire ($263 per square foot) and New Jersey ($230 per square foot) were the priciest metros, while Cleveland ($49 per square foot) and Kansas City ($48 per square foot) recorded the lowest average sale prices nationwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of the larger transactions, Stonepeak purchased a three-building, 1.7 million-square-foot rail-served logistics portfolio<\/a> in the Chicago market from CenterPoint Properties. The New York-based company paid $125 million for the fully leased assets. Situated in the CenterPoint Intermodal Center\u2013Joliet\/Elwood\u2014the\u00a0largest inland port in North America\u2014the properties are in Elwood, Ill., at 26318-26634 S. Walton Drive, 21561 Mississippi Ave. and 26634 Mississippi Ave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development pipeline remains steady<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the end of August, Chicago had 10.3 million square feet of industrial space under construction across 31 projects. The pipeline accounted for 0.9 percent of existing stock, below the national average of 1.9 percent. The Windy City ranked fifth nationally on a square footage basis and second regionally after Kansas City, according to CommercialEdge data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first eight months of 2024, approximately 2.7 million square feet of industrial space broke ground in Chicago across 14 properties, representing 0.3 percent of the total stock. The index was lower than the national average of 0.9 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n

Deliveries slow down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chicago\u2019s industrial sector saw 25 properties completed year-to-date through August, totaling 9.4 million square feet. This represents 0.9 percent of total stock, lower than the 1.3 percent national figure. The metro\u2019s deliveries fell to nearly half its year-ago volume, when 17.2 million square feet of industrial space entered the market.<\/p>\n\n\n
