Memphis Industrial Market Begins to Normalize After Years of Robust Growth

by John Nelson September 4, 2023

In January of 2023, the Memphis industrial market was coming off multiple years of record-breaking growth. However, mid-year we seem to be trending back to a somewhat normal growth pattern. The Memphis industrial market, which was fueled by the pandemic like many other markets, is finally beginning to normalize. Economic factors also influence the market as well. First and foremost is the uncertainty: uncertainty in interest rates, uncertainty in construction costs and uncertainty in when will we see some signs of stabilization. Many say we need to survive until 2025. Yet, the Memphis industrial market seems to have all the tools to handle this moment, and move forward. Memphis, located on the borders of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, is known as “America’s Distribution Center” — boasting unparalleled expertise in distribution and logistics. With a central location, Memphis’ transportation infrastructure comprises the four Rs: runway, rail, river and road. Memphis International Airport houses the largest cargo airport in the world with the FedEx worldwide hub. Memphis is one of only three cities in the country that has five of the seven Class I railroads: Union Pacific/Southern Pacific, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), CSX Corporation, Norfolk Southern and Canadian National Railroad (CN). …

Memphis Office Market Remains Steady Despite Sector-Wide Challenges

by John Nelson August 28, 2023

The Memphis office market posted 271,828 square feet of positive absorption in 2022, and that momentum has carried into the first half of 2023. Like most markets, Class A properties accounted for the majority of positive absorption, at 218,851 square feet. This trend has already carried into 2023, as Class A properties lead net absorption totals to begin the year. As a result of a strong year, the vacancy rate has fallen to 12.4 percent market-wide, an 840-basis-point decrease from the height of the pandemic. Additionally, sublease availabilities are less prevalent in Memphis than other comparable office markets. Currently there is 257,681 square feet of sublease space available in the Memphis market, which has a total net rentable area of 21.7 million square feet. The average among similarly sized Southeast markets is 422,624 square feet. There haven’t been substantial space additions to outweigh the below-average leasing activity thus far in 2023. The Memphis unemployment rate continues to trend downward to 3.2 percent in April, slightly lower than Tennessee’s 3.3 percent unemployment rate and the national rate of 3.7 percent. The tight labor market has increased demand in East Memphis, as tenants demand high-quality, highly amenitized buildings to attract and retain …
