The Las Vegas industrial sector set records in 2017, with more new construction and higher net absorption than any other time in the market’s history. New construction was dominated by pre-leased space primarily driven by transportation and logistics companies, namely ecommerce and retail-related businesses. As a result, the overall vacancy rate decreased to the second lowest level in market history. As a percentage of overall market size, Las Vegas led the country in both new construction and net absorption. The significant momentum of 2017 did carry over to the first quarter of 2018, albeit at a relatively slower rate. New construction totaled 1.3 million square feet and net absorption lagged deliveries at a positive 1 million square feet, marking the 22nd consecutive quarter of positive net absorption. The overall direct vacancy rate in the first quarter of 2018 was 4 percent, an increase of 50 basis points over the previous quarter. This provided much-needed inventory for tenants looking to enter or expand into the Las Vegas market. While the North Las Vegas submarket dominated 2017, accounting for nearly 70 percent of total net absorption, it is the Southwest submarket that is surging in 2018 with 53 percent of net absorption …
