By Tony Phu, Senior Executive Vice President, Colliers Rental rates and land values continue to outpace construction cost inflation, driven by the insatiable need for industrial and distribution space across the entire Western U.S. This is especially true in Southern California where a critical mass of population/tenant demand and high barriers to entry for development have created an exacerbated supply and demand imbalance. Scarcities of land for new development, as well as existing and under-construction buildings, are the main drivers. Entitlements are difficult to secure with a timeline between 24 and 30 months from start to finish. As a result, scarcity will remain the name of the game, and tenants will continue to pay increased costs to secure a building. With roughly 29 million square feet expected to deliver over the next five quarters, vacancy should remain flat as demand stays high for these buildings. Lease rates will continue to rise as existing tenants renew while expanding tenants compete for limited space that comes to market. Total net absorption for 2021 will break the record set in 2018, likely falling just shy of 30 million square feet. Activity levels in both the Inland Empire East and West remain about the same. There are so …
