Based on existing fundamentals, 2022 is on track to be another record year.  As of third-quarter 2021, Phoenix had landed just under 16 million square feet of net leasing year-to-date. Absorption had improved by more than 28.5 percent in the same 12-month period, to total 8.5 million square feet. Nearly 94 percent of that activity was generated from ecommerce and food and beverage users. Vacancy had also dipped to pre-pandemic levels, falling by 100 basis points year-over-year to just 6.8 percent as of the end of the third quarter of 2021. Construction continues to ramp up, trying to meet a seemingly unending stream of demand. As of the end of the third quarter, there was 16.6 million square feet of metro Phoenix industrial space under development. The West Valley accounts for about 11.3 million square feet of this activity. The Southeast Valley represents an additional 3.4 million square feet. Two of the largest buildings underway in the market right now are the Cubes Glendale, totaling 1.2 million square feet, and Building …
