Summary

"The next big thing in office mixed-use development could come from a rising demand for light industrial space near city centers." - Julie Littman, Bisnow SF Reporter.

With continued innovation in Northern California, let's unpack the reasons for this recent industrial development & investment surge!  

The Bay Area is set for steady industrial growth as low vacancy rates and industrial net absorption remain the talk of the industry. Last year’s net absorption rate totaled 3.8M SF and asking rent shot up to $0.73/SF from a low of $0.43/SF in 2010, according to JLL. These indicators have not gone unnoticed as leading brokerages chime in. Colliers International SVP | SIOR Kevin Hatcher reflects, "The last couple of years [have] been a good run for Bay Area industrial, including the larger distribution market of Tracy and Stockton.”

Collier's Hatcher is right on the money, but still, some are asking...

1) What cities and municipalities are offering development incentives?

2) Are tenant incentives a deal breaker? Should cities & municipalities cave to the demands of those looking to build in their backyard?  

3) Leasing: How will industrial vacancy rates look 2018? Will logistics or distribution centers be a driving force? 

4) Building: With the Federal Reserve aiming to raise interests rates, how will this affect the builder's outlook? 

5) Cap rates are hovering around 5 - 6% in the Bay Area. Can owner's expect to see greater returns in 2018? 

While industrial development has traditionally taken place in more inland in cities such as Tracy, Stockton, and Sacramento. We are now seeing development trends in the East & South Bay grow year over year.
