Atlanta’s Industrial Market (Re)Gains Momentum, Especially in Bulk Activity

by John Nelson

At the end of 2025, Atlanta’s industrial market turned a corner and has now regained its footing, especially in the bulk sector.  Four consecutive quarters of strong leasing activity signal that demand has returned, large users are back in the market and much of the inventory delivered immediately after the COVID-era development boom has been or is being absorbed.  For owners, developers and investors, the key takeaway is straightforward: Atlanta remains one of the country’s most resilient industrial markets, but the next phase of growth will be shaped by disciplined development and a continued flight to quality.  As for the broader market, leasing momentum began to accelerate late last year after a challenging stretch. Since then, leasing activity has steadily improved. Through the third quarter of 2026, Atlanta recorded 32.4 million square feet of new leasing activity for the year, with nearly 13.5 million square feet leased during the third quarter alone, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s data. Year-to-date leasing activity nearly surpassed all of 2025.  What’s particularly encouraging is the return of large-format users. “Bulk is back” has become a common refrain across the industry, and the data support that narrative. Several transactions exceeding 500,000 square feet were completed …
