United States Research Report
INDUSTRIAL MARKET OUTLOOKQ3 2015
Key Takeaways > The U.S. industrial vacancy rate declined by 20 basis points (bps) to 6.6%, the 22nd straight quarter of rising industrial demand. Industrial vacancy rates have steadily declined since peaking at 11.2% in Q1 2010.
> U.S. industrial demand has remained positive with net absorption totaling 59.1 million square feet this quarter
> Healthy occupier demand and the need for modern industrial space has continued to spur industrial construction. More than 41 million square feet of space was added to the industrial base, much of which was in built-to-suit projects.
> Positive industrial demand and tightening market conditions continue to put upward pressure on average asking rents, which now stand at $5.28 PSF per year. Asking rents have been steadily rising over the past 16 quarters since bottoming out at $4.53 PSF in Q3 2011. However, rents are still below the prior peak of $5.63 reached in Q2 2008.
> Some markets are seeing outsized increases in rents. The asking rent for warehouse space was up significantly year-over-year in the following markets: Austin (30.0%), Oakland (24.4%) and Sacramento (17.1%). Bulk asking rents were up year-over-year in Chicago (31.5%), Seattle / Puget Sound (24.9%) and San Francisco (24.5%). Markets where flex/service asking rents were up year-over-year include: San Francisco (35.5%), Nashville (28.9%) and Houston (23.5%).
> The results of Colliers’ U.S. Q3 survey remained optimistic. Of the 70 U.S. markets surveyed by Colliers, 63% expected further tightening in vacancy rates and 66% expect industrial rents to continue to rise in upcoming quarters.
> Demand for U.S. industrial assets remains strong for both foreign and domestic buyers. This year saw record acquisition on a wholesale level in the entry of Global Logistics Properties and the sale of KTR to ProLogis. Year to date, investment activity in U.S. industrial assets is up 43% over 2014.
> Looking forward, prospects for future industrial investment into the U.S. are cloudy Expected interest rates increase in the U.S. would likely induce capital inflow from emerging markets, further compressing already low cap rates. On the other hand, global trade is slowing with the slowing global economy, perhaps reducing near-term demand for industrial space.

4.6% year-over-year decrease in total railcar traffic. A major reason for this decline in railroad traffic has been decreased demand for petroleum, metallic ores and coal.
In the third quarter imports into the U.S. have increased faster than exports, due to both the relative strength of the dollar and slowing global economic growth. Imports are up 5.5% from one year ago while exports have increased only 1.5% over this same time period. Canada remains the largest export market for U.S. goods and services accounting for 10.3% of U.S. exports, while China remains the largest exporter to the U.S., accounting for 12.7% of imports into the United States.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade agreement among twelve countries, was reached in October after seven years of negation, though it still must be ratified by the signatory nations. The TPP contains measures to lower trade barriers, enhance the development of production and supply chains, and open up foreign markets among other provisions. The effects of the TPP are far reaching and it will take time before the winners and losers of this agreement are made clear. In the long run, the reduction of tariffs and taxes should benefit both consumers and producers across all
The U.S. industrial market is at a post-recession high, recording the lowest levels of vacancy coupled with very strong absorption. This is leading to upward pressure on asking rental rates, which have increased 1.6% from the previous quarter.
Some caution is warranted, however, as the market currently has over 181 million SF currently under construction, more than at any other time in the last 10 years. More than other property types, industrial is prone to boom / bust cycles dues to the low barriers to entry and relatively short delivery time. Market fundamentals currently suggest that newer and more modern industrial space is needed; however 56% of space currently under construction is speculative in nature. This poses a significant risk of supply overshoot if global economic conditions were to unexpectedly reverse.
Industrial Economic Indicators U.S. GDP in the third quarter increased at an annual rate of 1.5 percent. This lower-than-expected growth was due to inventory drawdowns and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar adversely impacting exports. Gains were made in personal consumption and building construction. The manufacturing sector posted anemic growth with the Purchasing Managers Index recording only 50.1 in October; figures above 50% indicate expansion, so the current level suggests manufacturing risks contracting. Growth was seen in new orders and production, while inventories and employment fell.
Nationally, the unemployment rate stands at 5.0% at the end of October, the lowest its been since April of 2008. Over the last 12 months, the economy has added 1.8 million jobs with construction adding 228,000 jobs, manufacturing adding 65,000 jobs and transportation and warehousing adding 107,000 jobs in the last 12 months. These industries are the heaviest users of industrial space.

countries however in the short run certain industries are likely to be negatively impacted. Significantly, China is not a party to the TPP, so clearly not all Asian trade is represented, limiting TPP’s total impact. Nonetheless, the trade agreement should continue the trend toward easier and more trade among nations, which has no doubt benefited logistics firms and the warehousing sector.
Vacancy
Driven by robust absorption in the top U.S. markets, the vacancy rate fell by 20 bps to 6.6% in Q3. The decline was broad-based, with 87% of U.S. markets seeing a decline in vacancy.
Vacancy rates declined in every U.S. region, led by the West, which dropped 30 bps to 4.7%. Still, there is a wide disparity in rates among the regions. The West remained the lowest at 4.7%, trailed by the Midwest (6.4%), South (7.4%) and Northeast (8.4%). Western markets ranked among the lowest vacancy rates include: Los Angeles (1.6%), Honolulu (2.2%), and Orange County (2.6%).
Savannah continued to be the best performer in the third quarter with the vacancy rate dropping by 150 bps to 2.3%. On the other end of the spectrum, vacancy rates increased in Dallas – Ft. Worth (+30 bps) and Atlanta (+20 bps) due to vacant construction completions rather than downsizing companies.

4 United States Research Report | Q3 2015 | Industrial Market Outlook | Colliers International
Absorption
Net absorption was strong in Q3 at 59.1 million square feet, with 22 markets reporting over one million square feet of positive net absorption this quarter. Due to robust industrial demand for warehousing and distribution space, we expect strong absorption in markets dominated by larger distribution space.
Absorption this quarter was more spread out than in previous quarters, although the same markets continue to dominate, with Los Angeles – Inland Empire reporting 4.2 million square feet and Atlanta showing 2.9 million square feet. This quarter also saw Seattle / Puget Sound report 2.9 million square feet due to the completion of a 2 million square feet build to suit for Amazon and Memphis recording 2.6 million square feet due to several large leases and user purchases this quarter.
Construction Activity
Rising industrial demand is pushing new supply to pre-recession levels. Some 59 million square feet of space came online in Q3, and over the previous 12 months there has been a total of 184 million square feet added to the industrial base, approaching the yearly all-time high of 196 million square feet seen in 2008.
We are now tracking 181 million square feet of industrial space under construction that is expected to come online in the next 18 months. Construction is heavily concentrated in a handful of markets such as Los Angeles – Inland Empire (19 million square feet), Atlanta (16 million square feet), Dallas-Ft. Worth (14.4 million square feet) and Chicago (12.5 million square feet). In each of those markets, virtually all of the new supply will be modern distribution centers with high ceilings, large truck courts, ESFR sprinklers and other improvements demanded by logistics and e-retailer tenants.
One concern is that more than half of the space under construction (57% or 102 million square feet) is speculative. So far, gains in industrial demand have remained greater than gains in the industrial supply. Net absorption has averaged 64 million square feet per quarter over the last four quarters while new supply has averaged 46 million square feet a quarter over the last four quarters. Thus, at current rates, there would be little trouble filling the entire inventory

of 181 million square feet of new supply projected to hit the market. Still, the high share of speculative space could be problematic should an unforeseen adverse event occur reducing industrial tenant demand.
Transaction Activity
Investor demand for U.S. industrial real estate remains high; however growth may slow relative to previous quarters due to the lack of portfolio deals. Year to date, investment volume is up 8% over the previous year on investment volumes of $50.7 billion.
Of this, roughly $23.8 billion (47%) has been from foreign direct investment inflows, primarily focused on New Jersey ($1.6 billion), Inland Empire ($1.6 billion) and Chicago ($1.5 billion). Much of this total involves Global Logistics Properties purchasing assets from Industrial Income Trust. Foreign investors seek the stability of U.S. denominated assets and are drawn to the industrial sector’s relatively low volatility compared to office or retail investments.
In today’s low yield environment, the industrial sector continues to post the highest average cap rates for any commercial property type, averaging 6.8% nationwide. Although the gap is narrowing with the other sectors, industrial returns remain compelling for many investors on a risk-adjusted basis. Foreign investors are weighing the strength of the dollar in their calculations; and the dollar may strengthen further with the anticipated Fed hikes. But with the continuing stagnation in the European and Asian markets, the U.S. will continue to be a safe haven for investors to park their money.
Conclusion
The industrial sector is posting record absorption and rental rate increases despite mixed macro-economic signals. Notwithstanding continued volatility in both GDP and job growth, the U.S. economy is generally outperforming most advanced economies, albeit growing slower than many would like. Beyond that some of the key drivers for warehousing, including manufacturing and trade, are areas of relative weakness, in large part due to the slowing global economy and the relative strength of the dollar, making exports less competitive. In addition, the prolonged weakness for oil, gas and other minerals continues to strain the economies of commodity-dependents metros such as Houston. In sum, drivers for the industrial sector are favorable overall, though some clouds on the horizon bear watching for signs of possible slowing for the sector.
