— By Nick Krakower and James deRegt of SRS Real Estate Partners — The fourth quarter of 2024 revealed significant trends across key indicators in Orange County’s industrial market. For starters, the county’s industrial market vacancy rate was 3.9 percent at that time. This figure represents a continued trend of gradually increasing vacancies, which has consistently occurred over the past eight quarters. The uptick in vacancies can be attributed to increased availability in larger distribution centers and evolving tenant requirements. North County had the largest increase at 4.5 percent. While a 3.9 percent vacancy shows OC’s industrial market remains relatively tight, there is a countywide availability of more than 16 million square feet. Net absorption for the quarter came in at -900,000 square feet. Sectors that rely heavily on logistics and distribution were most impacted, as the move to less expensive space in the Inland Empire continues. Despite the negative figure, leasing activity remains high with quarterly averages of more than 2 million square feet. Net absorption is expected to stabilize with the development pipeline slowing down. Development activity remained strong with 2 million square feet of new industrial space in the pipeline.

Vacancy Trends and Absorption Despite strong investor activity, the Phoenix market is experiencing rising vacancy rates.

However, the vacancy rate increased to 10.6 percent, marking a year-over-year 390 basis points rise. This increase is largely attributed to the completion of vacant product.
