Demand for Industrial Product in LA Continues to Rise

by Nellie Day October 21, 2014

The Los Angeles industrial market continues to lead the country with the lowest vacancy of any industrial market. The combination of the overall market’s size and lack of inventory continues to put upward pressure on rents. Not only is there limited inventory, but a lack of quality product puts top economical facilities in high demand. The inability to build new product readily, combined with increasing demand, changes the focus of the marketplace going forward.

Historically low vacancy combined with pent-up demand in the Columbus industrial real estate market is driving new speculative construction for the first time since the Great Recession. In fact, we expect delivery of 1.8 million square feet of spec construction by the end of this year. After a six-year drought, several speculative and build-to-suit buildings, ranging from 300,000 square feet to 700,000 square feet, are in the works. More than 1 million square feet of space already has been absorbed this year — the highest amount since before the recession. The vacancy rate stands at 7.4 percent, 320 basis points lower than the historical average. Average asking rents for modern bulk buildings have risen 7 percent since last year. Cargo Air Service Advantage Rickenbacker International Airport, one of the only cargo-dedicated airports in the world, is a huge growth driver.
