Submarket Stats

The East industrial market had a strong fourth quarter, posting 424,622 square feet of net absorption. This marks the highest quarterly absorption ever recorded in the East. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the e-commerce industry and, thus demand for industrial space, has skyrocketed. Despite positive absorption, vacancy in the East increased to 7.67 percent due to new available speculative development that was added to the market. Two projects reached completion in the fourth quarter – 510 Sunbury Rd and 8200 Innovation Way. Additionally, there is one project totaling 437,154 square feet under construction – Core5’s I-70 Logistics Center East. Overall asking rates in the East submarket increased to $4.10 NNN per square foot due to this new first-class warehouse space hitting the market.
