The overall vacancy rate stood at 9 percent, a tick higher than the mid-year figure.  While this figure might suggest slack in the market, it is important to note that the rise in vacancy is primarily due to smaller-bay space turning over and the inclusion of buildings actively being marketed but not yet move-in ready, such as the Wichita Business Park redevelopment at the former Towne West Square Mall. For context, the vacancy rate for larger industrial buildings — those over 100,000 square feet — was just 2.8 percent, highlighting a persistent shortage of modern bulk space.
