Commercial Real Estate Market Overview August 2015_tcm78-50654Yirong Song
The document summarizes commercial real estate market trends from 1950-2015. It discusses the post-WWII shift from central business district (CBD) office space to suburban office space due to demographic and economic factors. Starting in the late 1990s and 2000s, CBD office demand increased as crime rates fell and millennials entered the workforce. While CBDs have generally outperformed suburbs, some technology and energy markets saw stronger suburban growth after 2008. Across property types, vacancy rates declined and prices rose from 2014-2015, though retail prices remain below 2007 levels. The industrial, apartment, and office sectors are expected to see declining vacancies and rent growth amid new supply.
Despite rising multifamily construction starts, the current stock of rental units is struggling to meet demand in some areas. This problem is particularly acute for affordable and workforce housing. High construction costs driven by rising land and material prices are inhibiting new supply, especially of more affordable units. Most new multifamily projects consist of high-end apartments, exacerbating the shortage of affordable rentals. To make projects profitable given high costs, developers have focused on acquiring premium sites and pricing new units at the higher end of the market. This concentration of high-cost units in large cities further squeezes the supply of affordable housing.

Influence of high work function ITO:Zr films for the barrier height modification...Shahzada Qamar Hussain
We report the influence of magnetron sputtered zirconium-doped indium tin oxide (ITO:Zr) films with
high mobility and work function on the heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cell. The
addition of oxygen (O
) to argon (Ar) flow ratio during the deposition process improves the Hall mobility
of the ITO:Zr films while the carrier concentration decreased. The small amount of oxygen resulted in an
enhancement of work function while excess amount of O
2
was not suitable for the electrical and surface
properties of ITO:Zr films. The increase of O
2
2
/Ar flow ratio from 0% to 0.4% improved the work function
from 5.03 to 5.13 eV while the conductivity of ITO:Zr films remained about the same. The ITO:Zr films
were employed as a front anti-reflection layer in a HIT solar cell and the best photo-voltage parameters
were found to be V

sc
¼33.66 mA/cm

,FF¼72.4%, and η¼17.31% for the O
/Ar flow ratio of
0.4%. The increase of ITO:Zr work function leads to an increase in open circuit voltage (V
) and fill factor
(FF) of the device. Therefore, the ITO:Zr films with high work function can be used to modify the front
barrier height in the HIT solar cell.

Q1 2015 U.S. office market statistics, trends and outlookJLL
Though vacancy remained unchanged at 15.6 percent in Q1, as the year continues we expect it to drop below 15 percent for the first time in a decade. Corporate growth is driving expansionary activity, and tenants are thus faced with increasingly challenging market conditions. Currently more than one-third of all markets are favorable to landlords, and that’s expected to increase to three-quarters. With this leverage, landlords will continue driving rents upward, potentially surpassing a 5.0-percent increase by year end.

Capitalization rates for core assets declined nearly 50 basis points from 2013 to 2014. While the leasing market remains weak with high vacancies, the capital market continues to outperform due to investment security from the large government presence. As the market transitions away from government dependence, more secondary and tertiary assets may come to market if leasing conditions do not improve. Class B assets in transit-oriented locations present opportunities for higher returns compared to core assets.
The National Multifamily Index ranks major U.S. markets based on projected vacancy rates, rent growth, and employment gains. San Francisco and San Jose rank at the top due to strong job growth, low vacancy, and high rents. Markets in the Pacific Northwest and Northeast also rank highly. Atlanta and Riverside-San Bernardino moved into the top 20 due to improving economies and property performance. Midwest markets rank in the lower third despite favorable demand drivers. Supply growth will challenge some markets like Houston and Tampa.
The Savills Studley report summarizes commercial real estate trends in the Los Angeles office market in Q4 2016. Key points include: leasing activity declined slightly from the previous quarter but exceeded 2015 levels; availability rates declined while asking rents remained flat; and office property sales sharply increased from the previous year. The recovery is showing signs of moderating heading into 2017 as leasing activity and hiring slow, though conditions remain tight on the Westside and opportunities exist elsewhere in the market.
Lancaster County PA Economic Forecast--High Associates Ltd. 02-12-2014highadmin
This document summarizes 2013 macroeconomic assumptions and national real estate market conditions. For 2013, GDP growth was estimated at 2.7% with unemployment projected to decline from 7.9% to 6.7% nationally. Across real estate sectors, apartments rents exceeded pre-recession peaks while industrial saw strong absorption. Office occupancy recovered in central business districts with suburban office on a slower recovery path. Cap rates declined across all sectors as equity investment remained abundant seeking "core" and "value added" deals.
U.S. office market statistics (Q4 2014) and 2015 outlook JLL
Now at its strongest point in the recovery, the economy grew by nearly 3.0 million jobs in 2014, pushing unemployment to its lowest level since the third quarter of 2008. As a result, markets across the country recorded expansionary activity as corporate confidence grew along with demand for office space. Annual net absorption totaled 54.7 million square feet driving vacancy to 15.6 percent—its lowest point since 2008—a trend expected to continue over the next 24 months.
While challenges exist ahead, including historically low labor force participation and the recent fall in oil prices, forecasts for 2015 and 2016 across the U.S. project the highest growth in more than a decade.

U.S. Office market statistics, trends and outlook: Q2 2015 JLL
After a slow first quarter, office market fundamentals made a significant rebound at the close of Q2, undermining suggestions that both economic and office-market growth were slowing. As activity returns—and in many markets, intensifies—much needed supply will offer new opportunities to carry us into latter half of the decade.
Since the start of the year, rents have increased by 2.5%, with some in-demand markets increasing up to 5%. If market momentum continues as we anticipate, rents could reach a 5-7% annual growth rate by year end.
The Orange County multifamily market contains over 211,000 units. Despite rising home values driving demand for apartments, development has been limited due to high costs and lack of suitable sites. The market is in an expansion stage with low vacancy of 1.9% and rent growth expected to be 3% in 2015. An additional 4,449 new units are expected to be added this year, slightly increasing vacancy while rents continue rising due to strong demand.
C&W Marketbeat - Canadian Industrial Report- Q2-2014 Guy Masse
This document provides a summary of industrial real estate market conditions across Canada in the second quarter of 2014. Key points include:
- The Alberta economy continued to outpace other regions, driven by growth in the oil and gas industry. This fueled record industrial real estate absorption in Calgary.
- Central Canadian markets struggled due to slow economic growth, though momentum was starting to improve in the second quarter.
- Strengthening US economic conditions are expected to increase demand for Canadian goods and services, benefiting industrial markets going forward.
The document summarizes Houston's sublease office market, noting that there is currently a large amount of available sublease space due to lower oil prices cutting short expansion plans. It finds that sublease space, particularly Class A space, accounts for a high percentage of total inventory space and is concentrated in desirable submarkets. The average discount between direct and sublease asking rent prices has increased, suggesting it is currently a tenant's market with opportunities for tenants to negotiate favorable lease terms.
The Austin office market remains fast, competitive, and expensive. Vacancy increased slightly in Q2 2018 while absorption decreased. Rental rates are trending upward, especially in the CBD and Eastside, due to high demand and rising construction costs. Several large leases were signed during the quarter, and more large deals are anticipated as new developments deliver space over the next two years.
Washington, DC Office Sector Report (Q2 2016)Savills Studley
Renewals and early restructures dominated the leasing landscape during the second quarter and tenants continued to return space to the market. These factors have translated into myriad opportunities for tenants to restructure existing leases or lock in generous concessions to relocate to space that better fits their culture and way of working.
Rents and occupancy rates across all office grades in Ho Chi Minh City increased in Q4 2015, with Grade A average asking rents rising 1.5% quarter-over-quarter. While CBD office supply remained unchanged, 30,000 square meters of new non-CBD stock was added. In 2016, Grade B office space will see the largest new supply increase, with nearly 77,000 square meters from 4 new projects. Demand for office space is expected to rise due to economic growth, infrastructure improvements, and new trade agreements.
Rental growth was recorded across all office grades in Ho Chi Minh City in the first quarter of 2016. Grade A average asking rents increased 1.92% while Grade B surged 5.1%, though average occupancy rates witnessed a downward trend. No new office buildings entered the market, while the supply pipeline included 11 Grade A and 57 Grade B buildings. Grade B will see most new supply in coming quarters, while 4 new Grade A buildings after 2018 will substantially increase stock. Strong foreign direct investment is expected to continue driving office demand from foreign enterprises.
2019 Year End Multi-Family Market ReportLance Coulson
This document is the 2019 Year End Multi-Family Market Report for Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria produced by CBRE's National Apartment Group. It provides an overview of the 2019 apartment sales market statistics including 96 transactions totaling approximately $1.14 billion in sales. Key highlights include average monthly rents of $1,469 in Vancouver and a vacancy rate of 1.1%. The report also includes economic indicators and forecasts growth in the local economy driven by sectors such as finance, professional services, and transportation.
Continued economic and job growth is driving occupancy and rent growth in the San Diego office market. Vacancy fell to 15.1% in Q3 2016, the lowest in nine years. Absorption was positive across the North, Central, and South regions in Q3. Growth is expected to continue into 2017 due to forecasted increases in employment, especially in healthcare. New leasing activity and pre-leasing of under construction space will boost future absorption. Emerging trends include demand for amenity-rich spaces appealing to Millennials and increased co-working activity.

Through the first three quarter of 2015, the US industrial property market continues to
perform with amazing consistency. Net absorption, vacancy, average asking rental rates
and construction activity all kept moving in the same direction. Large bulk distribution deals
continue to dominate market activity across the country and both speculative and build-to-suit
development continues. However, that activity is concentrated in markets with greater land
availability like Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Atlanta and Southern California’s
Inland Empire. Other large markets are running out of land to accommodate inventory
growth. In markets like Los Angeles and New York, the danger is in losing base inventory
to the repurposing of
older properties. As a
result, construction of
traditional industrial
product in those
markets is nominal.

The national vacancy rate for warehouse and flex
space combined fell another 10 basis points in Q3,
6.7%. Since the end of last year, the vacancy rate has
fallen by 40 basis points, but several major market
areas, including Los Angeles and Orange Counties
in Southern California have vacancy rates below 3%.
Asaresultofvacancydeclinesacrossthecountry,averageasking
lease rates for Q3 moved up $.06 to $5.63 per square foot.
Rents are up across the country, in both primary and secondary
m a r k e t s ,
but rents in
areas with
higher levels of construction are seeing the strongest
rent gain. Tenants remain willing to pay a premium
for first generation space that offers greater efficiency.
New deliveries for both speculative and build-to-suit projects for
Q3 hit 59.3 million square feet in 391 buildings. That followed
a nearly 51-million-square foot gain in inventory in Q2. The
US now touts an industrial property base of 21.44 billion
square feet. Another 186.7 million square feet is still under
construction, nearly all of that in the bulk distribution category.

NET ABSORPTION
A LOOK AHEAD. The US industrial market should continue on its present path into 2016. However, if
GDP and job growth numbers don’t pick up the pace soon, some wind out of the expansionary sails could be
lost. Corporate earnings are coming under more scrutiny, especially in the manufacturing sector, as some of
the bigger players are seeing sale declines due to currency fluctuations and slow overseas economic growth.
However, the US economy is outperforming the rest of the world and that bodes well for business sectors that
are domestically oriented. Interest from foreign investors should remain strong as they see the US as a safe
haven for assets that are at increasing risk in non-dollar-based economies.
Vacancy will continue to decline and more markets will begin to see spot shortages of space, especially those
areas that have low levels of construction like Los Angeles where vacancy could go as low as 1% in 2016.
Low vacancy will be accompanied by a decline in product quality, as well. That will pose more of a challenge
to tenants that must remain in their immediate area to keep existing customers.
Net absorption should remain well into positive territory in both primary and secondary markets, but will
moderate in areas running short on supply. This will force some users to renew in place and forego planned
expansion or risk leaving their current markets in order to grow.
Average asking rental rates will continue to rise, especially in those markets with high levels of new construction.
Tenants will pay a premium for quality, as the alternative may be to settle for obsolete space and still pay more.
Construction will remain concentrated in large markets that still have land available at a price point that
makes sense for industrial development. Even in those markets, construction costs are rising and entitlement is
getting more expensive and time-consuming. This will reduce the chances of overbuilding but may also keep
developers from being able to build enough product fast enough to capture current demand.
.
Net absorption for the overall industrial market for Q3 hit 76.1 million square feet, just ahead of the
75.4-million-square-foot total in Q2, evidence of consistent demand throughout the country. Over 308
million square feet of net absorption has been recorded in the past four quarters. Large distribution deals
continue to account for the bulk of the net gains, with flex activity contributing just 9% to that total. Recent lease
signings include 915,000 square feet to Schnuck’s in
St. Louis, an 898,560 lease for Wayfair in Cincinnati
and a 745,000 square foot deal for LG Electronics
in the Inland Empire. E-commerce and 3PL operators
continue to make many of the biggest deals around
the country.
Supply, especially for smaller buildings, continued
to tighten in Q3. Demand from owner/users is still
running hot due to the availability of SBA financing
at low fixed rates. An interest rate rise, which had
been highly anticipated all year, never materialized,
so owner/users continue to pursue the opportunity to
control long-term occupancy cost with fixed rate loans
before the Fed finally pulls the trigger on rates.
Investors, both institutional and private, are still on the hunt to acquire industrial assets. Recently, secondary
markets have seen a spike in interest from buyers looking for better yields than they can achieve in major
metro areas. Cap rates have compressed to record low levels and that is likely to remain the case due to
prospects for continuing rent growth in the industrial sector.

QUARTER-TO-QUARTER GROWTH IN REAL GDP
The nation’s total output of goods and services has been and remains choppy and that has investors taking
a cautionary stance. Concerns over a variety of issues that could negatively impact GDP rattled the equities
markets into a big selloff early in Q3, though the major indexes recovered most of the losses by the end of the
quarter. Volatility has been on the rise, as investors scrutinize and react quickly to a wide variety of economic
indicators, and GDP is front and center. After dismal first quarter growth, the economy bounced back in Q2,
much as it did for the same period in 2014. But that bounce was not as big as it was last year, and the first
estimate for Q3 of 2015, released on October 29th, came in at just 1.5%, well below the 5.0% rise in US
output we saw in Q3 of 2014. There is just no denying that the economy is still struggling to keep momentum.
Consumer spending, which accounts for roughly 70% of GDP, did improve in Q3, but not enough to offset a
drastic drop in inventories, which were less than half of the total reported last quarter. Exports fell in Q3, which
is no surprise given the strength of the US Dollar against the world’s other currencies. US goods are services
are more expensive abroad and conversely, goods imported to the US are getting cheaper. The most recent
report on import prices showed a 1.3% decline. Yet, despite lower prices, imports also fell in Q3, neutralizing
the effect of lower exports on GDP performance.

Through the first half of the year, the news regarding job creation was looking good, with the US adding
an average of well over 200,000 jobs per month. Unfortunately, August’s total dipped to 136,000 and
September came in at just 142,000. The dip was largely unexpected and it has wary investors wondering
whether or not the recovery will stall out. The unemployment rate held steady at 5.1% in September and
the number of unemployed persons was little changed at 7.9 million. The biggest job gains were seen in
the healthcare, information and business services sectors. However, changes wages remained stagnant in
September, losing a penny to $25.09.
The proportion of part time positions remains a problem, as well. Businesses uncertain about the economy
in the near term have been hiring part time and temporary workers to enable a quicker response to
changing markets. The U-6 Unemployment Rate, which includes those workers who are working part time
but would prefer full
time employment,
stood at 10.8% by
end of September,
down 10 basis points
since the end of
Q2. Over 6 million
workers still fall into
this category.
The Labor
Participation Rate,
which many believe
is a more accurate
indicator of the
true state of the job
market, was down
again in Q3. This
metric measures
the percentage of
those eligible for
employment between the ages of 16 and 64 who are currently working. The lack of new jobs and the early
exit of Baby Boomers from the workforce have combined to drop this key metric to a four decade low of
62.4% in September a decline of 30 basis points since June.
Wage growth has become a growing concern over the past year. Even though, net job gains have lowered
the unemployment rate to a post-recession low of 5.1%, wage growth has been stagnant, barely keeping
pace with the rise in the consumer price index. This is largely due to the mix of jobs being created and too
many of them have been in lower-paying categories. Sluggish wage growth is directly related to lackluster
consumer spending, the main driver of GDP. Many of the jobs are in hospitality, retail and restaurant service,
which can disappear just as quickly as they appear. Also, there have been substantial layoffs in the energy
sector, which, until early this year, had been a main source of full-time, higher-paying positions.

National Economic Overview
2
Fed Chairperson, Janet Yellen and her Board of Governors, have been repeatedly threatening to raise
interests rates to signal a reversal of the Fed’s aggressive efforts to stimulate economic growth. Yet, they
have failed to do so, citing one economic indicator or another for sticking with the status quo and frustrating
investors who are looking for guidance on how to move forward. While most experts were sure that the
first rate hike would come in September, the Fed, citing concerns over China and other emerging market
economies, held off yet again. Now many of those same experts are not forecasting a move on rates until
next year.
Until recently, the Fed was focused mainly on unemployment rate and inflation targets to trigger action. But
now, global economic issues and wage growth concerns are entering into the mix. With so many variables
figuring into the equation, predicting Fed actions are becoming even more difficult. So, savers continue to
be pounded and yields in other asset classes remain at record low levels.
Real estate borrowers continue to be major beneficiaries of the current Fed stance. Long term financing
is still cheap and that has fueled intense demand to acquire commercial real estate. Low rates have also
contributed to cap rate compression in primary and secondary markets from coast to coast. That has raised
concerns with some investors that cap rates will decompress when rates finally do move up. Even a nominal
increase in cap rates could lead to a significant reduction in property values.
The yield on 10-Year Treasuries has also remained low due to the current interest rate environment’s impact
on yields across all asset classes. In Q3, the yield on the 10-Year moved back down into the low 2% range
after moving higher earlier in the year. Many attribute that change, in large part, to an increase in foreign
investor demand precipitated by shaky economic conditions around the globe.

The San Gabriel Valley (SGV) industrial market is
composed of three major submarkets; West SGV, 60
Freeway Corridor and 210 Freeway Corridor. The
highest concentration of industrial space, just over 79
million square feet, is located along the 60 Freeway
in City of Industry, which represents over 46% of the
region’s 171.1 million square foot base.
The third quarter of 2015 saw another 2 basis point
decline in the vacancy factor, which now stands at a
scant 2.60%. Year-over-year, the rate is down 21 basis
points, and the lack of available product is causing
significant concern from tenants and landlords that
expansion will require relocation to the Inland Empire.
However, tightening conditions are presenting a similar
challenge in terms of finding quality space. Also, a
greater portion of the vacant space has elements of
functional obsolescence, as tenants show a willingness
to pay higher rents to secure quality, functional product.
The average asking rental rate continued its steady
ascent in Q3, adding another $.24 per square foot to
finish the quarter at $7.59. Landlord concessions have
all but disappeared, including tenant improvement
dollars that help mitigate the cost of relocation.
Tenants are experiencing sticker shock, as a new high
water mark is being achieved with the closing each
transaction.
Net absorption remained positive in Q3, adding
another 128,896 square feet to the total of occupied
space. However, low vacancy is keeping the lid on
things, as more tenants are being forced to renew in
place or migrate to other markets. Distribution users
continued to dominate in terms of leasing activity

throughout the region, with strong activity occurring in
all size ranges above 10,000 square feet. Gross lease
activity, on the other hand, fell from 2.1 million square
feet in Q2, to just 950,000 square feet in Q3, largely
due to lack of supply in buildings over 100,000 square
feet.
Development of new product is moving ahead, but not
a pace that can service current demand for quality first-
generation product. Just 712,785 square feet of new
inventory was under construction as the quarter closed,
but only 100,000 square feet has been delivered so far
this year. Fortunately, another 3,100,000 square feet is
in the planning stages. Land is scarce and expensive,
but developers will still take on the additional risk of
speculative construction if they can secure the land to
build.
Owner/user demand is still high, but skyrocketing
prices have turned some would-be buyers into tenants,
which has put further upward pressure on lease rates.
But, low cost loans are still available and more owners,
concerned over an unsteady global economy, are
opting to sell at a premium before the next market
correction.
• Lease activity will slow down due to lack of supply
• Vacancy could rise slightly as older buildings are vacated
in favor of new product deliveries
• Average asking lease rates will move up another 5% in
2016
• Sale activity will moderate due to high price point
• Sales price increase will flatten out, but inventory will
remain scarce
• Construction should pick up as developers look to
capitalize on higher rents

The Central Los Angeles market, which includes
Downtown, Vernon, Commerce, and the Mid-
Counties, continues to tighten up. So much so, that
the ability for companies to expand in the region are
facing the tight supply, functionally obsolete product
and rents and sales prices at levels not seen since the
previous market peak.
Vacancy continues to move down from 1.63% in Q2
of 2015 to 1.44% in Q3 of 2015, which continues
the trend of less available spaces. Even those tenants
willing to pay today’s higher rents were unable to
find properties that are suitable for their needs. With
vacancy so low, lease renewals are still accounting for
a significant portion of overall activity. The Central Los
Angeles industrial base is undergoing a conversion to
residential and creative office users who can and will
pay more for space than traditional industrial users. In
turn, downtown industrial users are moving southeast to
Vernon and Commerce, pushing industrial lease rates
and sales prices higher. Tenants looking to relocate are
being blindsided by higher prices, which have reached
historic levels, even for space with substantial functional
obsolescence. However, the lack of inventory is also
posing a problem for institutional landlords anxious to
keep current tenants within their portfolios.
Vacant land for the development of modern facilities is in
extremely short supply and much of what does become
available is at prices that don’t justify the construction
of industrial space. Higher value, including multi-family
and mixed use retail-office-residential developments
are becoming more common, shrinking the industrial
base with each new project. That said, there are still

developers willing to pay a premium to build industrial,
as they see an opportunity to collect even higher rents
from tenants who will pay what it takes to stay in the
area.
Net absorption has been hovering near neutral despite
the severe lack of supply. Average comp rental rates
keep moving up, from $6.24 in Q2 of 2015 to a new
high water mark of $7.08. Just a year ago, the average
comp lease rate was just $6.60. Sale prices are also
up, but with virtually no available product, most users
looking to take advantage of the low cost of capital,
remain on the sidelines.
Industries across the board are very active, but the
fashion apparel, food distribution and processing,
3PL and furniture sectors are leading the way. Newly
constructed buildings, the few that there are, are
leasing quickly, with most being leased up by the time
they are completed.
• Leasing activity will continue to be restricted by low
supply
• Lease rates will move up slightly in Q4 of 2015
• Development of new industrial product will be flat for the
next several quarters
• Net absorption will remain marginally positive, restricted
by sub-2% vacancy next year
• Conversion to higher uses in the downtown market will
upward pressure on property values
• Owner/user demand will be restricted by low supply and
tax implications for outright sales

The Los Angeles/South Bay industrial market includes
major portions of Los Angeles and the City of Long
Beach. The area has long been one of the busiest
industrial markets in the country, driven primarily by the
Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, which together
handle over 40% of the nation’s cargo activity. After
container volumes declined over 18% in the first
2 months of the year, activity picked up and is now
running close to the record volumes of 2006 and 2007.
The Port of Long Beach has had the largest gains and
just finished the busiest quarter in its 104-year history
with over 2 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit).
High volumes of cargo moving through the Ports
has demand for industrial space in the South Bay
market running well ahead of supply. By the end of
Q3, available space was down to 3.3% compared to
3.9% during the 2nd quarter. The vacancy rate also
fell to 1.2%, a 25% decrease in just one quarter. At
these low levels, tenants are competing for space and
landlords are holding the line on concessions and
demanding stronger credit. Given these pressures,
asking gross rental rates for the quarter rose by
almost 10% to a weighted average of $0.72 per
square foot. Anticipating low turnover going forward,
landlords are already negotiating 2016 renewals
and off market opportunities to favored tenants.
The sale market continues to be strong throughout
Southern California and distribution properties close to
the port are trading at a premium. Both owner-users
and investors are competing at essentially the same
price point, which is great news for sellers, as they are
able to deal with sophisticated cash buyers who can

close faster than user/buyers who require financing.
The average sales price for a facility over 25,000 square
feet is 125.77 while the cap rate for an investor are
trending in the mid to low 4% range depending on the
asset type and credit of the tenant. These Institutional
buyers are making things even more competitive by
lowering their minimum transaction threshold to well
under $10 Million to acquire industrial buildings in
infill markets.
Developers are actively pursuing the few remaining
land sites in the region as well as locations that can be
redeveloped for warehouse use or less capital intensive
uses like truck and container parking. Unfortunately,
many of the remaining undeveloped sites in the South
Bay are contaminated, which poses a significant barrier
to new construction. Also, the entitlement process is
complicated by the fact that some cities prefer uses
that are not transportation related. Even with those
challenges, there is approximately 3,000,000 square
feet of new Industrial space in the planning stages or
under construction that should be ready by 2017. While
this may be well short of the scope of development
compared to the Inland Empire and other high growth
markets, it represents the South Bay’s largest amount
of new industrial inventory in over 15 years.
• Property demand is expected to continue into 2016.
• Availability and vacancy will remain low and lease rates
will continue to rise
• Owners are approaching tenants earlier on renewals
• Property prices for owner/user and investors will continue
to increase, especially for Class A product
• With the lack of available product in the South Bay, some
companies will be forced to move further east
• Older product is being redeveloped into more functional
product
• Cities have become a bigger obstacle as they move
to down-zone industrial properties, issue overlays or
require conditional use permits
• The possibility of two NFL teams coming to the South
Bay could add new users to the market.
• The inevitability of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) will
likely increase port activity

Industrial businesses throughout Orange County are
still expanding aggressively, as they have been since
2011. Vacancy has fallen to dangerously low levels
and strong demand has pushed prices for both lease
and sale product above the previous market peak of
2007. Development remains at a near standstill, which
has made quality space nearly impossible to find in
some submarkets, and landlords are taking an even
harder line in negotiations for new leases and renewals.
Current conditions are forcing some expanding tenants
and would-be owner users to look to neighboring
Riverside and San Bernardino Counties to find suitable
facilities. But those markets are tightening up, as well.
The likelihood of measurable industrial construction
is low. Land is just too expensive to justify building
traditional industrial product, even at today’s higher
rental rates. The industrial base is more likely to shrink
than expand, as remaining sites are being earmarked
for more intense uses like multi-family and mixed-use
commercial projects.
Just 2.9% of the industrial base was vacant by the end
of Q3, a decline of 40 basis points for the quarter. With
such low vacancy comes low quality, as the best space
is either already occupied or disappears as soon as it
hits the market. Competition from multiple tenants for
space is common, and the winning bidders are paying
more to get less. And, with no new inventory coming
on line, functional obsolescence is becoming a big
problem throughout the county. Renewing in place
is the only option for many area businesses, even if
existing space will limit growth and reduce efficiency.
Unfortunately, that is often the smartest move, as the
shortage of inventory is showing no signs of abating.

Lack of supply is also putting the brakes on net
absorption. The net gain in occupied space totaled
1,087,174 square feet in Q3 as compared to
1,538,232 square feet in Q2. However, Q4 of 2014
and Q1 of 2015 both posted negative net absorption.
With older/obsolete properties accounting for more of
the available supply, net absorption will be held at bay.
Inventory under construction totaled just 1,079,130
square feet in Q3, with build-to-suit transactions
accounting for most of the total. Redevelopment
projects like Turner Development’s project of 14,000 to
43,000 square-foot buildings in Anaheim, are seeing
high activity, especially from owner/users looking to
secure a facility before interest rates begin to move up.
Two of those buildings sold in Q3, but several more
were in escrow by the end of the quarter.
Average asking rental rates moved up again in Q3,
rising another $.03 to $9.36 per square foot. Landlords
have tightened up on leasing concessions and they are
demanding stronger credit. Title 24, the new California
energy conservation standard, is driving up the cost of
tenant improvements by as much as 40% depending
on space size and the extent of the changes required
by the statute.
• Competition for sale and lease product will only get
more intense in the next several quarters
• Transaction volume could decrease for the balance of
the year due to supply constraints
• Lease rates for 2015 will be up by 10% over 2014.
• Tenants without strong credit will have to settle for inferior
product in secondary locations
• Construction of speculative industrial inventory will stay
at current low levels
• Lease and sale activity may slow down in 2016, as
more cautious business owners wait for the results of the
current election cycle

The Inland Empire-East (East Valley) industrial market
includes the Cities of Colton, Grand Terrace, Moreno
Valley, Perris, Loma Linda, Mentone, Redlands,
Yucaipa, Bloomington, Rialto, Riverside, Jurupa Valley
(Portions), Highland, San Bernardino, Banning and
Beaumont. The area is served by the Interstates 10, 15,
215 and the 60, 71, and 91 freeways, which makes
it one of the largest distribution hubs in the US when
combined with the Inland Empire-West market.
Industrial lease and sale activity is still running strong,
but vacancy did move up over 100 basis points
to 5.68% in Q3 due to substantial new deliveries
during the period. Year-over-year, the vacancy rate
has increased by 58 basis points, but six years ago it
reached as high as 19%.
Large lease transactions, some over 500,000 square
feet are driving absorption, but supply is running short
in all size ranges, especially for properties offered for
sale. Gross absorption for Q3 came in at a healthy
2.9 million SF, bringing gross absorption over the past
four quarters to 12.8 million square feet.
Area business owners, anxious to acquire properties
for their own use, are competing aggressively to secure
limited inventory, and that has driven sales prices up
substantially over the past three years. That trend should
continue as the US Federal Reserve Bank continues to
hold interest rates at current levels due to concerns
over the global economy, slow domestic wage growth
and nominal inflation levels. Fully amortized, fixed rate
loans are still available for up to 90% of the purchase
price through the SBA’s 504 and 7A programs. Some

sellers, looking to take full advantage of the supply/
demand imbalance, have widened the ask/bid gap,
prolonging the time on market for those overpriced
assets. But, the prospect of fixing occupancy costs for
up to 25 years has buyers willing to reach to get deals
done.
Average asking rental rates for manufacturing and
distribution space combined, moved up $.37 to $6.41
GRS by the end of Q3. Year-over-year GRS lease
rates have climbed by nearly 16%, another reason
many users are opting to buy rather than lease. The
steady rise in rents has kept the construction of new
product at a brisk pace. In Q3, 3.9 million square
feet of new space was delivered, bringing total base
inventory up to 181.1 million square feet. Another

than bulk distribution. That said, the underlying market
driver is the demand from large distributors, especially
3PL and e-commerce companies.
The willingness to move quickly when the right
opportunity hits the market has become very important.
Despite good construction activity, supplies are running
short and the East Valley is beginning to experience the
same challenges as Los Angeles and Orange Counties
both of which have seen vacancy fall to less than 3%.
It is important to note that at current vacancy levels,
the concentration of functionally obsolete properties in
the East Valley is rising, as quality product generally
moves first.
• Gross leasing activity will remain strong in the short term
• Net absorption will be positive but tempered by limited
supply
• Sales prices will continue to move up, especially for
smaller buildings
• Vacancy will steadily decline going forward
• Higher lease and sale prices will shift construction activity
to smaller size ranges
• Limited supply of land and a protracted entitlement
process will slow new deliveries going forward
• Renewals-in-place will increase due to “sticker shock”
and limited choice of quality properties

The Inland Empire West (IE West) industrial market
includes the cities of Chino, Ontario, Rancho
Cucamonga, Fontana and Mira Loma. Together, these
cities contain 288 million of the over 500 million
square feet of existing industrial space in the Inland
Empire market. IE West is one of the largest industrial
markets in the United States, and serves as a key
distribution hub for the Western States. Located within
an hour’s drive of the ports of Long Beach and Los
Angeles where up to 40% of the goods entering the
US arrive each year, IE West is served by several major
highways including Interstates 10, 15 and 215, with
easy access to the 57, 60, 91, 210 and 605 Freeways.
Bulk distribution product makes up the vast majority
of the industrial space, with a high concentration of
buildings in excess of 500,000 square feet each.
Quality is also a differentiating factor for IE West,
as the region is the most active in the US in terms of
construction of state-of-the-art distribution facilities
with high ceiling clearance and the latest in fire and life
safety systems that allow large distributors to operate
with greater efficiency. By the end of the third quarter,
over 10.6 million square feet of Class A distribution
space was under construction and over 7.5 million
square feet has already been delivered since the
beginning of the year. A good portion of that space
has been pre-leased, but there is still a high level
of speculative development underway, which gives
expanding major retailers, e-commerce companies
and 3PL operators the opportunity to quickly expand
their capacity within the region.
Despite prodigious amounts of new construction,
demand from those sectors is so strong that supply

constraints are becoming noticeable, especially for
buildings under 300,000 square feet. That could
become more of a problem going forward, as reduced
land availability in the IE West is driving up prices and
increasing political resistance in some jurisdictions
to approve large distribution centers is slowing the
entitlement process.
After three straight quarters of increases in average
asking lease rates, Q3 saw a decrease of $.31 to finish
Q3 at $5.29. However, for buildings over 100,000
square feet, actual lease rates in the period were
unchanged at $4.80, while spaces under 100,000
square feet moved up slightly to $6.60. The bigger
story in the IE West market is about vacancy. In Q3,
vacancy stood at just 2.03%, perhaps the lowest of
the nation’s major distribution hubs, and that rate was
actually 54 basis points higher than it was in Q2. Under
such tight conditions, it appears quite likely that rates
will resume their move up in the coming quarters, as
demand remains strong and the delivery of new class
A space, which rents a premium, is delivered.
• Strong leasing activity should continue and hit record
levels in 2015
• Limits on absorption will come from lack of inventory
below 300,000
• Supply constraints will continue for space under
300,000, especially if home building improves in 2016
• Going into 2016, average land prices will be in the
$15-per-square-foot range and buildings sales will
average $125 per square foot
• Vacancy will remain near current level, as new deliveries
will keep pace with current demand

The Denver industrial property market remains in
relatively good health, despite the recent slowdown
in the energy sector. Layoffs in that sector are now
a reality, with roughly 70,000 jobs lost nationwide
in the industry. Also, the number of active wells has
fallen dramatically since the beginning of the year.
However, job losses to date have been concentrated
in the office sector, which has helped Denver’s
industrial market keep its forward momentum.
Vacancy ended Q3 at 4.1%, down from 5.0% a year
ago. Transactions contributing to that decline for the
quarter included the lease to HD Supply for 261,027
square feet on 56th Ave and Appliance Factory
Outlet’s new 228,651-square-foot space on W. 84th
Ave. Activity remains highest in the bulk distribution
sector, but the marijuana industry is still expanding
and those business owners are able to occupy space
that has functionally obsolete characteristics that
pose efficiency problems for traditional industrial
users. Short supply has become a problem for tenants
looking for the highest quality space with high ceiling
clearance and modern fire suppression capabilities.
Net absorption remained positive in Q3, bringing
the total change in occupied space to just under
2.4 million square feet for the year. Yet, absorption
would likely be higher if not for the tightening supply
of functional space. New deliveries for the quarter
came in at 355,840 square feet, bringing the year-
to-date total up to 1,620,000 square feet. Another
12 buildings are still under construction totaling
1.9 million square feet, mainly in buildings that will
accommodate users larger than 75,000 square feet.
That is keeping the supply of owner/user buildings

at very low levels and prices at very high levels. The
“marijuana effect” has contributed to the price spike
and some traditional owner/user buyers are starting
to rethink the purchase alternatives as a result. Fixed
rate loans at interest rates under 5% are still available
through the SBA, and the prospect of significant near-
term rate hikes is keeping the owner/user option front
and center for expanding businesses of all kinds.
Rents are still on the rise. By the end of Q3, average
asking rates for industrial warehouse product stood
at $7.82, up $.13 for the quarter and $.69 for the
year. Sales activity is also up. For the first six months hit
$358 million, up almost 11% year-over-year. Investors
at all levels are bullish on the long term potential of the
Denver industrial market in terms of rent growth and
net absorption. This area is very attractive to an ever-
younger workforce that likes the variety of recreational
activities and the developing urban cores like LoDo,
RiNo and The Highlands.
• Vacancy will remain tight, but may move higher during
quarters with high rate of new deliveries
• Gross sale and lease activity will slow down due to lack
of supply
• Average asking lease rates will move up another 6% to
10% in the next year
• Construction will remain steady at current levels
• Developers will develop fewer buildings in hopes of
warding off overbuilding
• Gains in the energy sector, when they occur, will increase
demand most in the northern communities

The Phoenix economy continues to improve and the
industrial market is still in expansion mode, but leasing
activity has not been strong enough to keep backfilling
space vacated by tenants moving to new developments.
The housing market, once a major driver of rapid
economic expansion for the region, is still moving
slower than needed to give the economy a big boost.
City and state governments are responding with tax
incentive programs designed to encourage existing
businesses and those from other states, to increase their
presence in the area. Business growth means new jobs
and new jobs drive net absorption of industrial space.
The unemployment rate in the Phoenix has fallen to
5.7%, but is still higher than the current US rate of 5.1%.
In Q3, another 972,151 square feet in new product
was added to the Phoenix industrial base, boosting total
inventory to 292.1 million square feet overall. Healthy
build-to-suit activity is anchoring the expansion, but
optimisticdevelopersarebuildingmoreonaspeculative
basis in anticipation of further demand. As the quarter
ended another 3.5 million square feet remained under
construction,mostofitbulkdistributionspacewithhigher
clearance and enhanced fire suppression capabilities.
The addition of new inventory is keeping vacancy at
fairly high levels compared to market like Los Angeles
that has no land for development. The vacancy rate
for the Phoenix area ended Q3 at 11.8%, down 40
basis points for the period. Net absorption remained
positive, posting a gain of 1,860,934 square feet,

product saw most of the action in the Southeast Valley.
Distribution product is still the product most in demand,
but activity in high-tech manufacturing space is also a
big contributor. Tuesday Morning’s 593,600 lease in
the Southwest submarket was a notable lease signing.
Average asking rental rates in Q3 held steady at $.53
per square foot on a monthly basis. Distribution space
rents for quarter were flat at $.45, while manufacturing
rents moved up 1.9% to $.44. It is important to note
that there has been no significant increase in overall
average asking rental rates since 2010, a fact not lost
on major users eying the area as a candidate for major
expansion. Phoenix offers their existing and potential
employees a good quality of life and a very reasonable
cost of living compared to other top tier metro areas.
Despite the lack of overall rent growth, investors at all
levels remain bullish on the Phoenix area. Institutional
investors still have a voracious appetite for the larger first
and second generation projects. That should continue
as cap rate compression and intense competition for
industrial product is a nationwide phenomenon. Cap
rates in the 4% range in some markets make Phoenix’
slightly higher rates look like a bargain. Likewise,
owner/users still see Phoenix industrial buildings as
a bargain. Prices are well under other major metro
areas and mortgage interest rates remain at a record
low, which may be partly to blame for sluggish leasing
demand.
• Gross activity will remain at current levels, driven by a
move-up in quality to first generation space
• The amount of functional obsolete product offered for
lease will rise
• Lease rates will move up slightly over the next year
• Vacancy will move up and down for the next several
quarters in sync with new deliveries
• Construction activity will remain at the current pace,
with emphasis in 40K to 80K multi-tenant distribution
buildings
• Owner/user demand will stay strong until interest rates
make a significant move up

The Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) industrial market’s
expansion continues. It is one of the nation’s hotspots
in terms of new construction. New deliveries for the
year hit 13.3 million square feet by the end of Q3
and another 14.4 million square feet of new space
is underway. Developers are playing it smart, bringing
just enough new product to the market to keep from
overbuilding. Leasing activity remains strong and there
is no sign of a slowdown in construction or absorption.
In fact, preleasing of space under construction is also
picking up.
DFW continues to attract distribution users because
of its infrastructure and central location. So, new
construction remains focused on that product type. Until
recently, most of the construction was in buildings over
350,000 square feet, but recent deliveries have also
included buildings in the 120,000 to 250,000-square-
foot range. But, not all the construction is being
driven by big box users. Recently, expansion in the IT
sector has been the catalyst for additional speculative
construction.
The overall industrial vacancy rate stood at 7.2% as
the quarter closed, an increase of 30 basis points for
the period. Variations up or down are influenced by
the timing of new deliveries, but the general trend is for
vacancy to hold steady in the 7% range. Fortunately,
new development is keeping pace with demand, which
will keep vacancy from falling too low to accommodate
the prolific growth of the industrial sector overall. With
so much first generation space being added to the
inventory base, expanding businesses should have an
ample supply of quality product to choose from over
the long term. That cannot be said for markets like

Los Angeles and New York, which have older product
that lacks the higher clearance and improved fire
suppression capability of today’s state-of-the-art
buildings.
Net absorption for Q3 was just 697,394 square feet,
mostly in first and second generation distribution space.
However, since the beginning of 2015, a net gain of
13 million square feet in occupied space has been
realized. Big box users continue to show a willingness to
pay a premium for quality and that is keeping average
asking rental rates moving up. In Q3, the overall
rate moved up another $.05 to $5.19. Landlords
throughout the region are pushing hard on rents and
tightening up on concessions for new deals and lease
renewals. The inner loop submarkets are experiencing
a higher level of rent growth than outlying submarkets.
So, tenants willing to move 5-10 miles out will be able
to save on occupancy costs. New lease transactions
that will contribute to net absorption going forward
include the 1,060,000-square-foot lease to Farley’s &
Sathers at Grand Lakes II and 1,002,000-square-foot
deal with Walmart at Alliance Center North 2 in North
Fort Worth.
Since state-of-the-art distribution product is the
preferred industrial asset class for institutional
investors, DFW remains a prime target for large scale
acquisitions. Supply is running well short of demand
and cap rates keep moving lower, as they have across
the country. Investors like the strong credit of bigger
users and the rent growth potential that comes with the
higher quality facilities they are attracted to.
• Leasing activity should remain steady through the end
of 2016
• Net absorption will continue to hit 6 to 7 million square
feet per quarter
• Vacancy will remain near current levels, in balance with
new deliveries
• Lease rates will continue to rise for existing and new
inventory
• Construction will remain in sync with current demand
• 36 foot clear heights will become more of a priority for
tenants above 100,000 square feet

The Chicago industrial market remains one of the
most active major markets in the country. Institutional
capital is pouring into the area, both for the purchase
of existing industrial properties and speculative
development. Bulk distribution centers along major
expressways dominate both sale and lease activity. New
deliveries hit just under 11 million square feet through
the first three quarters of the year, while another 10.16
million square feet remains under construction, almost
all of it bulk distribution space. Development activity
is being driven by a healthy blend of speculative and
built-to-suit projects. Big deliveries during Q3 included
Building 1 at the RidgePort Logistics Center, a 1.7
million-square-foot distribution building, which is now
fully leased to Michelin.
Despite the increase in development activity, vacancy
continues to move down. By the end of Q3, the vacancy
rate settled at 7.2%, down another 40 basis point in the
quarter and 90 basis points year-over-year. Securing
quality product is of increasing concern to expanding
tenants, as intensifying activity from e-commerce users
is making good space more difficult to secure. In all,
Chicago’s vacancy rate has fallen 490 basis points
from its recessionary peak of 2009.
Rental rates are increasing throughout the Chicago
area, but tenants are showing a willingness to absorb
higher occupancy cost to remain in preferred locations.
The average asking lease rate for the region finished
Q3 at $5.55, a $.09 rise over the previous quarter
and a $.28 rise year-over-year. The rate for warehouse
space now stands at $5.21, up 5.25% year-over-year,
while flex space ended Q3 at $10.88, up 4.82% from
a year ago.

Despite higher lease rates, over just under 14 million
square feet of net absorption has been recorded year-
to-date, with 4.2 million square feet of that coming
in Q3. Large distribution deals continue to dominate
leasing activity. Notable lease signings in 2015 include
Saddle Creek Logistics Services 1.1 million-square-foot
lease at the CenterPoint Intermodal and Whirlpool’s
752, 410- square-foot deal at 3851 Youngs Road
in the SW/I-55 Corridor. However, manufacturers
looking to access a deeper labor pool closer are still
contributing to net gains in occupied space.
Investor demand, especially from the institutional side,
is keeping the supply of available industrial product
scarce.Thereisjusttoomuchcapitalchasingnotenough
product and this has driven cap rates to record lows.
Big investors look for good long-term fundamentals
and they like the superior infrastructure in the Chicago
area including O’Hare Airport, the interstate highway
system and large rail hub. Distribution projects are the
preferred product, but demand exceeds supply across
all industrial product categories. Even with the steady
flow of new deliveries, rates are still on the rise and
vacancy continues to decline, fundamentals not lost
on the big players who have a long term investment
strategy.
• Leasing activity should remain strong as long as quality,
functional buildings can be found
• Net absorption should stabilize at current levels
• Vacancy will move up 30 to 40 basis points temporarily
due to new delivery of speculative space
• Average asking lease rates will continue to rise as supply
of quality product becomes more of a concern
• Construction activity will level off due to a lack of
available sites in key submarkets

Like other industrial markets in the Midwest over the
past several years, Cleveland continues to improve.
While market growth in distribution hubs like Dallas,
Atlanta and Southern California’s Inland Empire are
very high, Cleveland is expanding at a more modest
but consistent pace. The employment base has
grown by just over 1% in the past year and overall
confidence in the regional economy is improving. The
unemployment rate moved down another 30 basis
points in the month of August to settle 4.7%, well
under the national rate of 5.1%. The Governor’s office
is taking steps to promote a more business-friendly
environment for expanding businesses and that has
added extra energy to the recent economic expansion.
New advances in oil and gas extraction has given
the entire Youngstown and Southeast Ohio areas a
big boost, but the recent slide in oil and gas prices
will impact growth in that industry until energy
prices rebound from current levels. Fortunately, the
Cleveland area has a strong manufacturing sector,
which generates a significant share of higher-paying,
full time jobs that add balance to overall employment
base. So, the area is weathering the slowdown in the
energy sector better than those markets where energy
is a larger component of overall economic activity.
Total industrial inventory stands at 484 million square
feet, primarily in manufacturing and distribution
space. Just 5% of the total is flex product. Overall
vacancy was unchanged during Q3, holding steady
at 5.6%, but that is 60 basis points lower year-over-
year. At current activity levels, the vacancy rate should
continue to move lower at modest pace. In 2015,
expansion by tool and die makers has been driving

Third quarter net absorption totaled 526,885 square
feet, bringing 2015’s total to a positive 2,255,658
square feet. Main contributors to the Q3 total included
Cuyahoga County’s move into 222,708 square feet
on 40th Street and Cosmax USA’s lease of 179,405
square feet on Carter Street. Ta Chen International’s
takedown of 112,370 square feet on Marquette
Street rounded out the top three contributors to net
absorption for the quarter. Gains in occupied space
could be much higher if not for the limited supply of
industrial product available for sale to area businesses.
Recognizing that the current cost of capital is likely to
rise substantially in the near term, owner/users are
aggressively pursuing opportunities to acquire quality
assets, pushing sales prices higher.
However, the lack of new speculative construction
is also putting upward pressure on average asking
rates, as expanding businesses are limited to existing
inventory to choose from. In Q3, the overall asking
lease rate moved up another $.07 per square
foot to $3.82. New deliveries for the year total just
743,160 square feet, with 538,860 square feet of that
completed in Q3. The 303,888 square-foot building
at 1 Corporate Pkwy in Twinsburg was the largest
building delivered in the quarter, and that property is
now 100% occupied. Another 1,932,708 square feet
is still under construction.
• Lease and sale activity will remain strong as businesses
scramble to control a declining supply of quality space
• Net absorption should remain at current levels
• Average asking lease rates will continue to move up
another 2% over the next year
• Construction will remain limited to build-to-suit
transactions
• The energy sector will contribute less of overall economic
growth until prices stabilize
• Vacancy will decline due to a lack of speculative
construction

Large distribution deals in and around three main
intermodal hubs continued to drive Kansas City’s
industrial market in the third quarter. Demand is
strongestfromusersinthe100,000to500,000-square-
foot range, a trend we reported last quarter. Two of the
largest move-ins for the quarter were 345,705 square
feet leased to Excel Industries and 220,598 square feet
leased to Jet.com, both in Johnson County. Q3 ended
with a 1,056,885-square-foot gain in net absorption,
bringing the year-to-date total to 3,481,318 square
feet.
Construction activity is keeping pace with strong
leasing activity. Since the beginning of the year,
3,264,052 square feet of new inventory has been
delivered bringing the total inventory of industrial
product to 205.4 million square feet. At the end of
Q3, another 3,846,377 square feet was still under
construction. Bulk distribution demand is strongest in
Johnson County, Kansas, while automotive suppliers,
looking to be close to the GM and Ford assembly plants
are boosting demand for manufacturing product.
Significant speculative development in the region is
evidence of developer confidence that current demand
levels are sustainable. Kansas City is still one of the few
US markets with a substantial pipeline of speculative
industrial space underway.
Vacancy ended Q3 at 7.0%, down 20 basis points for
the period. Year-over-year the vacancy rate is down
100 basis points. Rents moved up again in Q3. The
overall average asking rate for the region rose 10
cents to $5.77. Submarkets leading the way in terms
of rental rates include Johnson County and the KCI
Corridor.

With the Fed still sitting on its hands as far as a move
on interest rates, low mortgage rates continue to
stimulate demand from owner/users. But, low supply
is stifling activity as it is in most markets around the
country. Demand from investor buyers is also exceeding
supply. Cap rates have compressed around the US,
and Kansas City has become a target for institutional
players looking to achieve higher yields than in primary
markets like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.
Big users within the metro area continue to be courted
by municipalities on either side of the Kansas/Missouri
state line, via tax and employment incentives. The State
of Kansas, for example, has eliminated all income tax
for corporations based in the state, which was offset
by sales and property tax increases. With businesses
moving back and forth across the border, it’s hard to
say which side of the border benefits most.
• Overall leasing activity will keep moving higher
• Vacancy will stay near current low levels into 2016
• Rent growth will remain in the 3%-5% range through
2016
• Construction activity will remain at current levels, based
primarily in bulk distribution product
• Owner/users will consider construction of smaller
buildings in 2016 due to low supply

Speculative development returned to the St. Louis in-
dustrial sector back in 2014. That trend has continued
through the third quarter of 2015, as the supply of class
A space within the existing base is running in short sup-
ply. The industrial base now stands at just under 263.4
million square feet, and much of that is older product
without the high ceiling clearance and fire suppres-
sion systems seen in new product. So, new spec space
is leasing well and developers have been achieving
higher rents as a result. That strong activity has caught
the attention of institutional investors who are increas-
ingly attracted to the quality and rent growth associat-
ed with new bulk distribution facilities. Cap rates have
compressed, but yields in St. Louis, along with other
Midwest metro areas, are still higher than bigger mar-
kets on both coasts. In Q3, 3,736,376 square feet of
industrial space was under construction but just one
building totaling 12,802 square feet was delivered.
Q2 saw deliveries reach 1,144,000 square feet.
Demand from owner/users is also running high, but
functional mid-size buildings rarely hit the market.
The opportunity to control long term occupancy cost
with low interest loans has users willing to compete
aggressively to secure new homes for their businesses
before interest rates move up from historic lows. But,
the Fed has yet to make its move and may not do so
until 2016. So, owner/user demand should continue
at least at current levels for the time being.
For all of 2014, net absorption totaled 4,581,702
square feet. Through the first three quarters of 2015,
the net gain in occupied space came in at 1,105,336.

to fuel net absorption and rent growth in that area. The
overall average asking lease rates moved up another
$.04 in Q3 to finish the period at $4.14, after a similar
increase in Q2. Year-over-year, the rate has risen by a
healthy 3.5%, but falls short of the rent growth seen in
bigger markets like Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.
The vacancy rate finished the quarter at 6.8%, down 30
basis points compared to Q2. Year-over-year, vacancy
has fallen by 40 basis points. Bulk distribution space
in the Metro East and St. Charles submarkets have
both contributed heavily to the decline in vacancy,
as absorption has been strongest in those areas.
Significant move-ins for the year include the Saddle
Creek Corporation’s lease of 673,137 square feet
at Gateway 673 and World Technology’s move into
410,000 square feet at Lakeview Commerce Center
4. Another 915,000-square-foot lease to Schnuck’s,
signed during Q3, will soon be giving another boost
to net absorption.
The St. Louis industrial market offers expanding
businesses a good balance of location, value and
quality, along with available land for long term
expansion. Rents are lower than in other hub locations
and there is ongoing speculative development to meet
immediate needs for efficient space. The automotive
industry remains firmly entrenched in the region,
which attracts a wide variety of industrial uses. The
unemployment rate has fallen 80 basis points since
March of this year and is now equal to the national
rate of 5.1%, which bodes well for growth in wages,
consumer spending and further expansion in the
industrial sector. Though, the potential loss of the Rams
could affect industrial activity in proximity to the CBD.
• Leasing activity will increase as spec product is delivered
• Sale activity in the short term will decrease due to lack
of supply
• Vacancy will continue its decline for the next several
quarters
• Average asking lease rates could spike by 10% or more
in the next year due to deliveries
• Construction will increase by a third or more, despite an
8%+ increase in construction costs
• The GM plant will continue to attract new businesses to
the region
• Older product in infill locations will be redeveloped to
meet the demand for more efficient space

Atlanta’s economy continues to improve and industrial-
based businesses are expanding to meet an overall
increase in demand for products and services. The
unemployment rate fell to 5.7% by the end of August, a
decline of 40 basis points in just one month. Demand
for all industrial building types is good, but demand for
bulk distribution space is dominating market activity.
Positive net absorption for all industrial product hit
4,716,412 square feet in Q3, with bulk distribution
space accounting for 67% of the total. In the past year,
occupied space is up by nearly 17.5 million square feet.
Development activity maintained its momentum in
Q3. Year-to-date, 7,495,492 square feet of space
has been delivered and another 18,169,280 square
feet remained under construction by the end of Q3.
So, Atlanta, unlike several other major distribution
hubs around the country, still has a ready supply
of quality space available for expanding tenants.
New developments include a stable blend of spec
and pre-committed space, limiting the possibility of
overbuilding the market. Improvements to the Port of
Savannah, strong gains in the housing market and
ongoing expansion by suppliers and manufacturers,
has developers in the mood to keep building.
Vacancy moved lower again in Q3, down 20 basis
points to 8.4%. Year-over-year vacancy is down by 210
basis points despite the high level of new construction.
While the average asking rental rate has risen by $.27
in the past four quarters, increased slightly in Q3 to
settle at $4.19. New product, offering greater efficiency,
fire suppression capability and higher clear heights, is
the key driver of rent growth in the region. Rents for
second generation buildings are also rising, but not as

fast. Many users who can function efficiently in second
generation space are opting to renew in place rather
than pay the premium for new product. Landlords of
those properties are offering incentives to keep them
to avoid competing against first generation space for
new tenants. Those tenants who do choose to move up
to more functional product have to allow longer lead
time to secure space. Large move-ins for 2015 include
Walmart’s 1.2 million-square-foot lease at Majestic
Airport Center IV and Amazon’s 517,080-square-foot
lease at the Interstate 85 Distribution Center.
Investors at all levels remain focused on acquiring
industrial product in the Atlanta area, and competition
for quality assets is intense. As a result, cap rates
continue to compress across the spectrum of industrial
product types. Large bulk distribution product remains
the favorite of institutional investors. They like the
robust leasing activity and strong rent growth in that
sector, coupled with the dwindling supply of land
to build more of it. Atlanta has many locational
and demographic advantages over other major US
markets. With its access to a deep water port, Atlanta
serves as a distribution hub for the Southeast and has
a well-educated, growing population that expanding
businesses need access to for long term growth.
• Net absorption will steadily increase for the next several
quarters
• Vacancy will stabilize in the 8% range
• Average asking lease rates will keep moving up
• Owner/user building values will see a sharp increase
over the next year
• Build-to-suit and spec development will be limited to big

• Look for more divisible buildings in the 140K to 200K

The overall economy in Orlando is improving at a robust
pace. The central Florida city is a major entertainment
hub and home to more than a dozen major theme
parks. The unemployment rate in the region has fallen
to 5.1%, well below the national average, and its
employment base has grown by nearly 5% in the past
year, making it a top performer nationally. Job growth
is driving the demand for industrial products and
services, which has buoyed the confidence of business
owners to expand and grow.
That optimism has speculative development off and
running again. Through the first nine months of the
year, a total of 1,191,499 square feet of industrial
space was delivered and another 1,451,279 square
feet is still under development. Construction is targeted
at distribution and general purpose warehouse
properties. Projects delivered this year include the Bent
Oak Industrial Park & Beltway Commerce Center, and
the Lee Vista Business Center, Building F, which is still
underway. The current base inventory of industrial
properties stands at nearly 107,436,261 square feet.
Average asking lease rates are on the way up. In Q3,
the overall rate hit $5.14, unchanged for the period
and up $.09 since Q3 of 2014. Expanding tenants
continue to show a willingness to pay a premium for
quality space. Distribution product finished the quarter
at $ 4.19, up $.05 over Q2 to lead the way. The
highest rental rates are in the Southwest submarket.
With land prices on the rise and spec development
back in play, tenants will be forced to pay more as new
product is delivered

been for the past 12 consecutive quarters. In Q3, there
was a 788,127-square-foot gain, which followed the
Q2 total of 683,483 square feet. In the past year, there
has been a net gain in occupied space of over 2.8
million square feet. Notable move-ins for Q3 included
JJ Haines at Center of Commerce and Amazon in
Crownpointe II.
Vacancy has moved down accordingly. The overall
vacancy rate stood at 9.3% by the end of the quarter,
down 160 basis points over Q2. Since January of this
year, the vacancy rate is down by 210 basis points.
Vacancy in distribution product fell to 8.5% in Q3,
while the flex rate moved down 30 basis points to
15.3%. Submarkets seeing the most activity include
Orlando Central Park & Southwest.
Sales activity in Orlando is up year-over-year. In the
past year, total sales volume for industrial property
hit $122.8 million in 577 transactions. That is a 52%
increase year-over-year. Good quality product is
selling at highly compressed cap rates and acquisition
demand includes institutional, local and foreign
buyers looking to take advantage of anticipated rent
growth. Until interest rates rise significantly, owner/user
demand will remain strong, but supply will continue to
run short.
• Both lease and sale activity are expected to remain
strong for the next several quarters
• Net absorption should remain steady in positive territory
• Vacancy will decline another 150 basis points before
leveling off
• Average asking lease rates will move up another 10% in
the next year
• Construction will increase by 15% above current pace
• Larger big box warehouses will be built to accommodate
expanding e-commerce users

The supply of industrial property in the Long Island
industrial market has tightened considerably in 2015.
The region has benefitted from the overall economic
recovery. Job growth throughout the New York area
has been running ahead of the national average,
and consumer demand for industrial products and
services is on the rise. While that is welcome news
for the area, the Long Island industrial market is
increasingly challenged by tight supply, an aging
industrial base and the repurposing of industrial
buildings to so-called higher uses. Industrial product
on the western edge of Long Island has been
particularly impacted, as buildings there are being
converted to residential uses due to zoning changes.
The industrial vacancy rate for Long Island fell to
just 4.0% by the end of Q3, down 100 basis points
year-over-year. Demand for distribution and general
warehouse property continued to outpace supply
and delivery of new product is at a standstill. That,
coupled with residential conversions, is shrinking the
industrial base and making the search for quality
product even more difficult. Some property owners are
responding by raising rooves to mitigate functionally
obsolete buildings in order to accommodate the
needs of distribution users. Older industrial product
located near public transportation is even being
converted to tech space to capture higher rents.
As a result of these trends, average asking lease rates
are moving back up. In Q3, the rate for Long Island
industrial space rose $.17 to $13.23. Rising prices
and tightening supplies are also prompting tenants to
look to neighboring New Jersey to meet their needs
for space. To mitigate that exodus, some existing

property owners are starting to buy up surrounding
properties to retrofit for increased functionality that will
help them achieve higher rents from tenants who prefer
to remain in the local market. They are being assisted
in that effort by the establishment of EDZ zones and
tax incentives created to encourage industrial users to
remain in the area. Redevelopment activity is primarily
in westerly submarkets, while a limited amount of new
development is further east.
Net absorption for the Long Island market in Q3 came
in at a positive 1.3 million square feet, nearly triple
the total for Q2. Demand remains ahead of supply,
especially for users looking to upgrade the functionality
of their facilities. This parallels a trend in markets
throughout the country that have a disproportionate
amount of older product. The largest tenant taking
occupancy during Q3 was Sub Zero. They moved into
120,550 square feet at 300 Michael Drive. As far as
new leases signed for the quarter, the 260,000-square-
foot lease to InvaGen Pharmaceuticals Inc. was
biggest, followed by the 152,000-square-foot renewal
of a lease to Supplytek International.
The low cost of capital has created fierce competition
from owner/users looking to keep a lid on occupancy
cost. While the up-zoning of industrial properties to
“higher” uses may have its benefits, it makes it even
harder for industrial users trying to grow their businesses
without leaving the area. Development of owner/user
product is non-existent, which exacerbates the supply
problem. Values for owner/user properties have risen
sharply in response.
• Gross leasing activity should remain strong as long as
rents remain near current levels
• Sale demand will remain strong as long as cost of capital
remains low
• Infrastructure development will limit the amount of
property conversions to residential use
• Vacancy will be lowest in the Western Edge at around
3.5% in the coming quarters, but overall vacancy will be
in the 9% range
• Sales prices will range to as high as $200 per square
foot in western submarkets
• EDZ zones will encourage new development and boost
activity in eastern submarkets

The Philadelphia industrial market with its base
inventory of 1 billion square feet is one of the largest
and most active markets in the US. Vacancy is
trending down, net absorption remains positive and
leasing activity is strong and steady. Companies large
and small are taking advantage of the low cost of
capital and energy by moving ahead with expansion
plans in anticipation of a strengthening national and
local economy. Construction activity has moved up in
response, giving users the opportunity to move into
more efficient first-generation spaces. Job growth, the
key driver of industrial market expansion, is modest but
moving in the right direction. Over 23,000 new jobs
have been created this year in the Philadelphia area
and unemployment rate in the region fell to 5.5% in
September, down 10 basis points for the month.
The overall vacancy rate for industrial product for Q3
held steady at 7.7%. But year-over-year vacancy is down
by 40 basis points. Flex vacancy was also unchanged
for the quarter at 9.7% while warehouse vacancy
was up by 10 basis point to 7.6%. Activity remains
strongest in the Lehigh Valley and Central Pennsylvania
submarkets. Significant leases were signed in 2015 by
DB Schenker, NFI, Uline and XPO in the Central PA
and Lehigh Valley markets for an aggregate total of
over 2.7 million square feet. As is the case in other
major hubs around the country, big distribution uses
are driving demand in the Philadelphia area. Hot
sectors include 3PL, e-commerce, food & beverage
and consumer goods, both durable and non-durable.
Net absorption for Q3 came in at 2,760,711 million
square feet, raising the year-to-date total to over 9.2
million square feet, which rivals any other major market

in the country. Warehouse activity accounted for all but
322,000 square feet of the total. In Q3, major move-
ins included the Zulily, Inc. lease of 800,250 square
feet at 10 Emery Street and Amazon’s new lease at 2
Ames Drive.
Overall asking lease rates moved up a penny in Q3
to $4.53. A year ago, the average lease rate was only
two cents lower than it is today. The region has yet
to experience the major run-up rents that other hub
markets have been recording. That could change soon,
as quality product within the existing base is getting
more difficult to find, and rents required to keep new
projects viable are going up due to rising land costs
and reduced yields caused by increasing storm water
requirements.
In Q3, 9 new buildings were delivered, adding another
3.8 million square feet to the base, while an additional
14.7million square feet in 45 buildings was still
under construction as the quarter ended. Speculative
development on well located sites is coming back
into play despite rising land prices and a protracted
entitlement process. Redevelopment in infill locations
is beginning to add to the strong construction numbers
due to the low supply of buildable land sites.
Investors are still driving cap rates down as they
aggressively pursue industrial assets in the area.
Institutions are particularly interested in Philadelphia
because they can acquire large, quality projects with
strong credit tenants at cap rates that are still above
those of other major markets.
• Overall lease activity is expected to remain strong into
2016
• Vacancy will trend down due to strong leasing activity,
but will fluctuate with new deliveries
• Net absorption will stay in positive territory, but could
slow in submarkets with lower vacancy
• Competitive pressure will keep average asking lease
rates relatively flat, with some rent gains in first generation
space
• Lack of available land sites will temper construction
activity going forward
• Developers will have to focus on projects that are several
years out due to the cumbersome entitlement process

The Northern/Central New Jersey industrial market
continued to improve in Q3. Major distributors,
especially e-commerce companies have given a boost
to industrial demand, as they are intent on shortening
shippingtimesbylocatinginthisdenselypopulatedarea.
The State of New Jersey has also attracted larger users
with its Grow New Jersey tax incentive program, which
was created to help the state remain competitive with
neighboring Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut.
Tax credits for the hiring of new employees can last as
long as 10 years. The lack of supply in nearby New
York also has expanding companies opting for New
Jersey to grow their operations.
Vacancy continued its steady decline in Q3, losing
20 basis point to 7.7%. Year-over-year, the vacancy
rate has fallen by 60 basis points. Class A product
availability is seeing the most activity, but supply is
running short in class B and C product, as well. As a
result rents keep moving higher across building classes,
mainly driven by leasing activity in class A distribution
product. In Q3, the overall average asking rental rate
rose by $.05 to $6.24. Food manufacturing, service
and distribution operators are fueling the decline
in vacancy, especially ethnic varieties. Lately, even
manufacturers have been returning to New Jersey and
smaller e-commerce companies remain active.

companies, unable to find the right space in their own
market, is also on the rise, exacerbating the problem
of dwindling supply and higher rents for local users.
Large lease signings that will soon be contributing to
net absorption include Amazon’s 1,064,000-square-
foot lease in the Carteret/Avenel submarket and a
432,000-square-foot space for Hackensack University
Health Network.
Demand for owner/user product has risen to
unprecedented levels. Asking sales prices run from a
low of $100 per square foot to a high of $200 per
square foot for new product. Investor/buyers are
having to outbid users to acquire industrial product,
and cap rates have been driven to as low as 4% as a
result. Owner/users from neighboring New York are
also bidding prices up in New Jersey. Their properties,
many of which can be repurposed to residential use,
are selling at record prices, which brings them to
New Jersey flush with cash and ready to compete for
industrial assets. Overall, the region is experiencing
one of the biggest “sellers” market in recent memory.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult for developers to
deliver the new state-of-art space that is in such high
demand. Land availability is drying up and developers
are turning to long term ground leases for future
projects. In Q3, 2,039,224 square feet of space was
delivered and another 2,322,294 square feet was
under construction. New projects include a mix of
build-to-suit and speculative space. Rental rates have
finally moved up to pencil projects that involve tearing
down older, functionally obsolete buildings in favor of
more efficient space with higher ceiling clearance and
modern fire suppression systems.
• Overall sale and lease activity should increase over the
next 12 to 24 months
• Absorption may decrease based on dwindling availability
• Average asking lease rates will continue to move up at
current pace
• Average asking sales prices for new product could
exceed $200 per square foot
• Developers are turning to long term ground leases in
