Northeast Ohio Industrial Market Sparks Investor, Developer Interest

by Kristin Harlow

By George Pofok, Cushman & Wakefield | CRESCO Real Estate The Northeast Ohio market has consistently been a stable industrial hub, and over the last couple years, has been attracting the interest of investors and developers from other regions. Spanning approximately 527 million square feet, this market stretches from Cleveland down I-77 to include Akron-Canton.  In the second quarter of 2024, the overall vacancy rate decreased to 2.8 percent, driven by 1.1 million square feet of positive direct absorption, a strong recovery from the negative absorption in the first quarter. Over the past few years, the vacancy rate has remained between 2.4 and 3 percent.  Leasing activity kicked off the year robustly, with 4 million square feet of leases in the first quarter. However, it normalized in the second quarter, with 1.6 million square feet leased, which was slightly below the usual pace. The market is expected to remain stagnant due to limited inventory and a lack of new speculative construction starts, which continue to hinder demand from local and regional tenants seeking to expand and backfill spaces.  Leasing deals are trending longer, between five to 10 years, with annual rental rate increases averaging 3 to 4 percent. Meanwhile, the …

Unlocking Cleveland: Trends, Opportunities in the Often-Miscalculated Market

by Kristin Harlow

By Donald Lydon, Avison Young Cleveland offers a mix of hurdles and opportunities across its industrial, office and multifamily sectors. With limited speculative construction, landlords are poised to leverage rental increases. Meanwhile, developers eyeing Cleveland should anticipate longer lead times for new projects, navigating through municipal regulations and land availability challenges.  This nuanced landscape presents openings for savvy investors, developers and occupiers looking to capitalize on Cleveland’s evolving real estate dynamics.  Resilient and mature, yet relatively untapped industrial market presents opportunities to national developers. Cleveland’s industrial sector is in a strong position relative to similar Midwest markets. With vacancy rates comfortably low at around 4 percent, rents are edging upward as developers struggle to find capital outlay nationally and spec development has all but stopped in most markets. The current landscape features a mix of large distribution hubs and older, yet prime, manufacturing facilities in key locations across Cleveland and Akron. Many facilities leased to third-party logistics companies seem to be stockpiling goods where others sit nearly empty, reflecting evolving needs in logistics and storage amid ongoing supply chain adjustments. This dynamic is leading to diverse demands: from small to mid-sized multi-tenant flex spaces (10,000 to 30,000 square feet) to …

Cleveland Browns Propose $2.4B Suburban Stadium Development, City Offers $461M Financing Plan Toward Rehabbing Current Stadium

by Jeff Shaw

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns NFL franchise owner Haslam Sports Group has released renderings and development plans for a new $2.4 billion stadium in the suburb of Brook Park, near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. The proposal comes on the heels of the City of Cleveland releasing its plan to fund $461 million in renovations to the current lakeside stadium, which has been the Browns’ home for 24 years. Haslam Sports Group is seeking a 50/50 split between its own funding and public financing, regardless of whether it elects to build a new stadium or renovate its existing home. This means the team would seek $1.2 billion in public funding were it to seek a new stadium in the suburbs. The team has not disclosed any plans on how to achieve either the private or public funding for that project. The Browns in particular want an indoor stadium for the notoriously cold and snowy area, and putting a dome on the existing venue is not possible due to flight-path issues from the city’s airport. The City of Cleveland renovation proposal for the current stadium, located in the North Coast Harbor area of downtown Cleveland, would offer $461 million in public money, just under …
