Reis: Apartment Market Continues to Face Pressure From Added Supply

by Kristin Harlow January 11, 2018

NEW YORK — Over the course of 2017, asking rents for the national apartment market increased 3.9 percent while effective rents grew by 3.3 percent, according to a fourth-quarter preliminary trends release from Reis Inc. Although still representing rent growth, these rates reflect a deceleration in apartment market fundamentals compared to recent years. This deceleration is due in part to the large amount of new supply coming online. A total of 43,769 units were completed in the fourth quarter, raising the year-end total to 213,802 units. The national apartment market has not seen new completions in excess of 200,000 units since 1986, says Reis. “At 4.5 percent, the national vacancy rate increased 10 basis points from 4.4 percent in the third quarter. This represents a 30 basis point increase in year-over-year vacancy,” says the report. “Vacancies have more or less been on an upward march since the middle of 2016.” At $1,364, the national average asking rent grew 0.4 percent in the fourth quarter. This figure is well below the 0.9 percent average quarterly growth rate for the prior six quarters. Effective rent growth of 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter was also below the 0.8 percent average quarterly growth. …

Kansas City’s Industrial Market Shows Record Absorption in 2017

by Kristin Harlow January 11, 2018

Over the last five years, Kansas City has seen a flurry of activity in the industrial sector. Since 2012, we have seen approximately 22.7 million square feet of new Class A industrial space hit the market, with speculative development and build-to-suits. Considering that Kansas City had only about 14 million square feet of Class A industrial space prior to 2012, these additions have had a huge impact on our marketplace. Prior to big box speculative development in Kansas City, it was hard to land large users due to lack of available product. These users did not have the time to wait for build-to-suit projects to be completed, so if product wasn’t readily available, they would move on to a different market. As a result, developers began to introduce speculative buildings, meeting this demand for new Class A product. Kansas City has thus emerged as a major player competing for larger users and their requirements. This year alone we have seen record absorption numbers and are not showing any major signs of slowing down anytime soon. The two major drivers that are taking this space are e-commerce and logistics users. The new demand for larger spaces has increased the average size …
