Strong demand is likely to fill millions of square feet of industrial space now under construction, according to “Industrial Trends in Austin, Seattle, Phoenix and Miami,” a new report by CommercialEdge, a research and marketing service created by Yardi.
“There are strong underlying fundamentals that are fueling the growth, from the transition to e-commerce to the re-shoring of certain manufacturing,” says Turner Levison, senior account executive in Yardi’s offices in Atlanta. “We feel like we are still mid-cycle. We are not on the immanent, bubble-bursting end of the industrial run.”
For example, in Austin, developers have started construction on a stunning 11.2 million square feet of new industrial space, a 13.5% increase to the existing inventory in that rapidly growing city.
