Southeastern Wisconsin Industrial Market Finds its Footing in 2026

Kristin Harlow — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 12:30:00 +0000

By Jim Larkin, Kyle Fink and Dylan Brown, Colliers After several years of outsized growth, southeastern Wisconsin’s industrial market entered a more balanced phase to begin 2026. While headline metrics such as vacancy and absorption have shifted from their pandemic-era peaks, the underlying fundamentals remain intact. Based on what we are experiencing across active deals and client conversations, this is less of a slowdown and more of a recalibration, one that ultimately supports long-term stability across the region. After many years on an unprecedented pace, the market is settling down into a more disciplined environment where decisions are more thoughtful, and fundamentals are driving activity again. From our perspective, that’s a positive shift that positions southeastern Wisconsin for long-term stability. Year-end 2025 data points to a market that is adjusting, not retreating. Vacancy rates increased modestly, rising to approximately 7.8 percent across southeastern Wisconsin. At first glance, that shift may appear significant given how tight conditions had become. This shift is largely driven by new big box supply entering the market rather than weakening demand. With more than 3 million square feet delivered in 2025 — most started during peak market conditions — an increase in vacancy is a natural…

Suburban Momentum Reshapes Milwaukee’s Retail Landscape

Kristin Harlow — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:30:00 +0000

By Brian Vanevenhoven and Joseph Ziolkowski, Newmark The metro Milwaukee retail market remains strong, supported by historically low vacancy rates. Elevated construction costs — and the resulting pressure on rents — continue to limit new construction, keeping inventory low and occupancy high. The western suburbs have the lowest vacancies in the region and are seeing robust demand for available space. While the urban core continues to face challenges, the Historic Third Ward remains a bright spot, benefiting from favorable demographics and a cultivated consumer base driving strong retail sales. Recent data underscores this trend. While Milwaukee County saw modest population growth in 2025, surrounding suburban counties are expanding at a faster pace, according to CoStar Group. Waukesha County alone has added more than 10,000 residents since 2020, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This outward migration — driven by affordability, schools and lifestyle preferences — is creating new pockets of retail demand across the metro area. Drivers of growth Several factors are fueling suburban retail expansion. The continued strength of experiential retail, particularly in the fitness and wellness sector, is the most notable driver. Concepts such as Crunch Fitness and Planet Fitness have been among the most active tenants,…
