Industrial space under construction declined 62% from nearly 785,000 sqft in Q1 2025 to 296,500 sqft in Q1 2026. This decline is reflective of a national slowdown in new industrial construction, primarily a result of continued high interest rates, increasing cost of construction, and ongoing economic policy uncertainty.
