— 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. This new inventory focuses on state-of-the-art facilities designed to …
— Phillip Hernandez, Research Director, Colliers — The Phoenix industrial market showed resilience throughout 2024. Arizona ranked fifth in net migration as of October, with 62,533 new residents — 52.8 percent of whom relocated from California. This influx of residents has positively impacted the labor market, growing Phoenix’s workforce by 42,900 employees by November, a 1.7 percent increase from the previous year. Investor interest in Phoenix’s industrial sector also remains strong. Fourth-quarter sales volume reached $1.9 billion, a 74 percent increase compared to the previous quarter and a 91.8 percent year-over-year increase. This brought last year’s total sales volume to $4.3 billion, with average prices per square foot rising by 2 percent (to $204.20) compared to fourth-quarter 2023. Vacancy Trends and Absorption Despite strong investor activity, the Phoenix market is experiencing rising vacancy rates. New deliveries in the fourth quarter added 7.8 million square feet to the market, bringing total deliveries for 2024 to 34.8 million square feet. 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. Net absorption reached 3.8 million square feet in the fourth quarter, contributing to a year-to-date total of …
