The biannual report indicated that the national vacancy rate declined to 7.3 percent in 2017, its lowest level since the Irvine-based online real estate transaction platform began tracking the sector in 1999. In addition, the report showed that 2017 was the sixth straight year during which rent growth accelerated, and the first year on record in which the industrial sector’s rent growth outpaced that of the other three major commercial real estate sectors (office, retail and multifamily). “Right now, industrial is the cream of the commercial real estate crop, and the trends driving the sector — including e-retail, cloud computing and legalized cannabis — show no signs of abating,” says Peter Muoio, chief economist at Ten-X. The California metros of Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco and San Diego are Ten-X Commercial’s top five markets for industrial investment, in part because they are at the epicenter of the cloud computing and legalized cannabis industries. “These new growth drivers are joined by the more traditional ones of recovering …
