Voit Reports Inland Empire Industrial Market Has Positive Absorption for Eight Consecutive Quarters


Jerry Holdner
INLAND EMPIRE, CA, (Oct.  6, 2014) –The Inland Empire industrial market took significant strides toward continued improvement in 2014 with positive absorption for the year thus far, a six cent or 16 percent increase in asking lease rates, and drops in both vacancy and availability compared to the previous quarter.

“Overall in the Inland Empire industrial market over the last five years, vacancy and availability have decreased over 50 percent,” explains Jerry Holdner, Vice President of Market Research at Voit. 

  “The substantial decreases in vacancy and availability are contributing to the gains in asking lease rates and higher occupancy costs.”

Industrial vacancy and availability continued trending downward throughout 2014.

Vacancy ended the third quarter of 2014 at 5.70 percent, an increase of 1.24 percent from 2013’s third quarter, due to almost five million square feet of new construction that was added during the quarter. 

“This is notable, since 21 million square feet of new product has been delivered to the market over the past five quarters.  Likewise, availability posted a rate of 8.0 percent at the close of the quarter, a decrease of almost 3.5 percent from a year ago.”
