DENVER — The U.S. commercial real estate industry is currently experiencing a mixed bag of demand generators and property-level performance, according to Integra Realty Resources (IRR), a commercial real estate valuation services firm based in Denver. IRR’s conclusions are expanded in Viewpoint 2026, the 33rd edition of the firm’s commercial real estate trends report. “As we enter 2026, we see that the economic environment is becoming more stable, but growth is slower and visibility remains limited,” says Nick Luettke, economist at Moody’s Analytics. “Inflation has eased from recent peaks and interest rates have started to trend lower, however, borrowing costs remain elevated relative to prior cycles. With labor markets softening and policy uncertainty still at play, economic conditions are supportive in some areas but restrictive in others, contributing to uneven performance across the U.S. commercial real estate market.” IRR partnered with Luettke for the macro-economic trends within the report and sought contributions from nearly 600 valuation advisors in the United States and Caribbean. The report delivers sector-specific insights along with three specialty property reports on healthcare and seniors housing, quick-service restaurants and self-storage. Some key findings and forecasts from the main report include: the sustained poor fundamentals within the highly fragmented …

— By Richard Schwartz of SRS Real Estate Partners — The Inland Empire industrial market has undergone significant recalibration over the past 24 months, moving from the “too hot” environment of 2022 and 2023 marked by record construction and rent escalation to a period of normalization. Construction-driven vacancy has pushed the market into a digestion phase, marked by softening rents, adjusting sale prices and a reset in landlord-tenant expectations. These dynamics will unlock new opportunities as we enter 2026. Limited New Development Creates Breathing Room CoStar data compiled by SRS shows that new construction peaked in 2023 with about 29.5 million square feet delivered. This was followed by 17.8 million square feet in 2024 and an expected 16 million square feet in 2025. Deliveries are projected to fall to roughly 10 million square feet in 2026, making it the lightest post-pandemic year of new supply. This delivery includes several notable projects, such as Amazon’s 2.5-million-square-foot “middle-mile” facility in Hesperia, a 650,000-square- foot storage facility in Desert Hot Springs and a 1.2-million-square-foot facility in Apple Valley that’s leased to Lecangs. This means that more than half of the Inland Empire’s 2026 construction pipeline is already pre-leased, reducing speculative exposure while accelerating the rise …
