Over the last decade, the development of large warehouses fueled the industrial market to new heights. Yet, as the economy slips further into stagflation, many of these newly developed warehouses are underutilized. Like Amazon, the owner-users of these warehouses aren’t hesitating to sublease surplus space (Bisnow), effectively increasing supply. Thus far, industrial demand has remained resilient, with the national vacancy rate sitting at a record low of about 4.0 percent (CoStar). Nonetheless, if demand slows and the subleasing of surplus space continues to rise, vacancies could easily reverse course. Since large warehouses can be subdivided, these properties can also compete with smaller industrial buildings. However, owners of special-use properties will be able to weather the storm.
