Utah Multifamily Signals Return to Rent Growth as Supply Tightens

John Nelson — Fri, 01 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

— By Patrick Bodnar of CBRE — Utah’s multifamily market remains one of the most resilient and compelling real estate environments in the country, supported by exceptional economic fundamentals and a steadily tightening development pipeline. Utah once again ranked No. 1 in the nation in 2025 in the American Legislative Exchange Council’s (ALEC) economic outlook index, marking its 18th consecutive year at the top and earning high marks for overall performance, labor participation and business affordability. These strengths, paired with ongoing population and job growth, continue to reinforce consistent long-term demand for rental housing across the Wasatch Front. Against this backdrop, rent trends are beginning to shift. After several years of rent stagnation driven by elevated supply, rent growth is positioned to rebound in the second half of 2026. The past three years were characterized by relatively flat asking rents, but CBRE’s analysis indicates that future rent growth is approaching as new deliveries decline and supply is absorbed. This shift is largely the result of two converging factors: a meaningful slowdown in new construction starts — driven by higher interest rates and sustained construction cost pressures — and persistently strong absorption, which places Utah among the top-performing absorption markets in…

Is Salt Lake City’s Office Market Set for a Rebound?

John Nelson — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 11:48:00 +0000

— By Mike Embree of Drawbridge Realty — After 16 consecutive quarters of either negative or negligible net absorption, Salt Lake City’s office market closed 2025 on a positive note. The end result was 114,700 square feet of direct occupancy gains, per Cushman & Wakefield. This resulted in 263,000 square feet of direct absorption for the year, spurring a 500-basis point decline in the direct vacancy rate, which now stands at 19.4 percent. It’s too early to say that the market has turned the corner, but the signs are promising. For landlords, one positive in a market with about 10 million square feet of availability is that new office construction has effectively stalled for now. Only one building was delivered in 2025, adding just 180,000 square feet to the existing inventory with no new office projects on the drawing board. At the same time, more than a dozen buildings were removed from the office leasing market, either by developers pursuing multifamily conversions or purchases by owner-users. One such sale occurred in the fourth quarter when the Salt Lake City Corporation of Public Utilities purchased One Airport Tech, a two-story, 87,657-square-foot building near Airport Technology Park campus.

SLC’s Industrial Market Boasts Stabilizing Conditions, Growing Owner-User Momentum

John Nelson — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:45:00 +0000

— By Rebecca Lloyd of Cushman & Wakefield — Salt Lake City’s industrial market ended 2025 in a transitional period defined by rising vacancy, shifting demand across product types, and heightened activity in both peripheral submarkets and the owner‑user segment. Overall vacancy climbed to 7.9 percent, driven by more than 8.5 million square feet of new warehouse/distribution deliveries since early 2024, nearly half of which remain available. This is particularly apparent in the North West submarket, which continues to dominate the region’s industrial footprint. Despite this supply influx, tenant demand held firm with 5.9 million square feet of new leasing activity recorded in 2025. Absorption remained steady across small and mid-sized facilities, with monthly net asking rents remaining stable at $0.80 to $0.81 per square foot. Smaller 10,000- to 100,00-square-foot buildings posted the tightest availability at 6 percent vacancy, while larger big box properties over 100,000 square feet saw vacancy rise to 15.7 percent, widening the performance gap between segments. Land scarcity, power constraints and elevated development costs continue to limit opportunities in core Salt Lake submarkets, forcing more tenants and developers to pivot toward Utah County. This is where a sizeable 4-million-square-foot proposed development pipeline is helping narrow…
