Colliers just released its national report on what happened with the industrial real estate market in the second quarter.
And what a quarter it was. The research shows lower vacancy rates and higher net absorption, new supply growth, and higher asking rents than ever before. The only downside was a decrease in new investments in industrial spaces, this coming after 2015 saw record-breaking numbers in industrial site sales. However, the decrease in sales was more a symptom of how strong the industrial leasing market has been.
