Oahu’s Industrial Market: Still Tight, But Some Softening

by John Nelson July 9, 2025

— By William (Bill) Froelich of Colliers — s of first-quarter 2025, Oahu’s industrial market remains one of the tightest in the nation — but signs of softening are emerging. Our 41.9 million square foot market reported a vacancy rate of 1.2 percent, the highest in over two years, up from 0.9 percent in fourth-quarter 2024 and a near-record low of 0.6 percent in third-quarter 2023. Net absorption was negative at -115,001 square feet in first-quarter 2025, marking the fifth quarter of negative net absorption in the last six. Despite this, direct weighted average asking base rents reached a new high of $1.56 per square foot per month, reflecting continued landlord leverage in a market with severely constrained supply. Industrial operating expenses also rose, averaging $0.54 per square foot monthly, pushing our gross rents over $2.00 per square foot. Raw Land Market: A Race to Buy Before It’s Gone In a typical year, Oahu absorbs 10 to 20 acres of raw industrial land. But in a short period between the end of 2021 and the first half of 2022, over 100 acres had traded, driven by high-profile acquisitions such as Amazon’s 50-acre purchase and Costco’s 45-acre site purchased for almost …
