By Jason Crimmins, CCIM, SIOR, The Blau & Berg Company State of Commercial Real Estate for 2024 and Vision for 2025
2 024 has been a year of adjustments thus far for industrial investors,
Since that time, IOS rents have decreased by approxi- mately 40%; however, in the last two months, these rents have stabilized. Warehouse rents have also stabilized, as more TI (Tenant Improve- ments) and abatements are offered as landlords are ad- justing to the market and realizing that such offerings are increasingly necessary to secure a tenant. Warehouse vacancy rates have increased from 5.5% to 6%. There is sustained de- mand in and around the port areas, as last-mile e-commerce
operators value proximity. Tenants coming off long leases are still experiencing sticker shock over renewal rates, and some are seeking space outside their preferred locations for cost reasons. Election years often prove to be historically slow, and 2024 is shaping up to be the same. Many want to see where fiscal policy is headed before making long-term commitments. With interest rates high, and uncer- tainty in the overall economy, the motto right now is “Survive until 2025”. Jason Crimmins, CCIM,
