Boston is known for its top-notch universities that spawn world-class technology, pharmaceutical and bio firms, not to mention its leading money management and financial services base.

Often overlooked, Boston’s industrial market may not be as glamorous as gleaming new office and multifamily projects rising along the waterfront, but its steady performance and strong recovery are impressive nonetheless. Vacancy in Boston’s 117 million-square-foot industrial market declined 1 percent between the second quarter of 2013 and mid-2014, from 13.2 percent to 12.1 percent. A paucity of new construction and deliveries suggests further vacancy declines. Only 41,000 square feet of industrial product has been delivered through midyear, and 76,000 square feet was under construction at that point.
