Greater Boston’s industrial market closed out 2022 with consistently strong fundamentals despite facing significant macroeconomic headwinds, concludes Newmark’s Boston Industrial Market Report 4Q22.
Findings of the global, full-service commercial real estate firm’s “Insights” report include:
*Leasing activity rallied from its third quarter deficit and ended the year with 1.7 million square feet of positive net absorption.
*Landlords remained bullish on rents, as the overall average asking rate realized a 12.3% uptick over the year.
*Several properties that experienced extended construction timelines delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022, providing much-needed supply to an otherwise tight market.
*The spike in deliveries caused overall vacancies to stabilize above 3.0% as well as quoted rents for the Class A Warehouse/Distribution subtype to decline.
*Demand continues to outpace supply for quality industrial product, which bodes well for the long-term health of the market.
*Capital markets felt the impact of interest rate volatility and investor uncertainty during the fourth quarter of 2022, as the average per-square-foot sales price dipped below $200/SF for the first time since the third quarter of 2021.
