Q3-2022 Industrial Market Update

The Twin City area industrial leasing market continues its spectacular performance with total quarterly net absorption of 2,189,981 SF and Year to Date total net absorption of 4,856,996 SF.  Current market activity remains robust with approximately 60% of new construction pre-leased before building completion. We expect the remainder of 2022 to be one of the best on record; however, 2023 is less clear with some clouds on the horizon.  The Federal Reserve’s recent escalation of benchmark interest rates combined with the now sustained 8%+ inflation rate, stock market volatility and difficulty of attracting new employees present substantial challenges to the continuing record setting performance of the industrial market.
