Q1_2020_Industrial_Header_Image_1536x1040
Sacramento’s evolution into a big-box distribution market helped accelerate its impressive growth rate in the second quarter of 2021. Quarterly net absorption of 2.8 million square feet for all industrial property types is the highest quarterly total since 1998 with Amazon accounting for 1.5 million square feet of new supply and absorption. The warehouse/distribution market vacancy rate continued its decline to 4.3 percent, a decrease of 70 basis points year-over-year. Strong leasing activity at newly vacant and recently delivered properties will continue to elevate net absorption totals moving forward as developers attempt to meet surging demand. Sales activity over the last 12 months hit the highest total in three years as the market continues to attract investors looking to place capital. Average warehouse/distribution asking rents increased 12.6 percent year-over-year to a record-high of $0.60/SF NNN as landlords continue to have the upper hand in lease negotiations.
