TAG Industrial Watch: August 7, 2021

“Shortages in building materials and construction workers have been well documented this year, but we are starting to witness the toll these shortages are taking on deliveries. Despite a record 648 million square feet of industrial space under construction, deliveries for the first half of the year are down 16.8% compared to the first half of 2020 (CoStar). The nation’s factories, mines, and utility companies are only running at 75% of capacity (St. Louis Federal Reserve), suggesting that shortages of building materials are here to stay for a while. Although developers are beginning to adapt to innovative construction designs, it’s clear that deliveries will continue to be delayed. As a result, existing industrial properties will continue to command a premium, allowing landlords to raise rents aggressively or sell to the highest bidder.” -Adam Abushagur
