By the Numbers: U.S. industrial rents climb 6% as vacancy inches up
Across the U.S., rents for industrial assets rose nearly 6 percent year over year to reach $8.73 per square foot in October.
None of the top markets saw rent fall over the past year. But the sector’s rental growth comes as the vacancy rate also increased, by 240 basis points, over the past 12 months to 9.6 percent amid increased inventory, according to Yardi Matrix’s November industrial report.
The market that recorded the strongest year-over-year rent growth was Miami, where the average rent in October was $12.91 per square foot, a roughly 9 percent spike. The vacancy rate in that market was just over 11 percent.
