TAG Industrial Watch: June 8, 2024

With industrial demand slowing down to levels not seen since 2010 and eight times as much supply hitting the market than what’s being absorbed, it should be expected that rent growth is slowing down. The annual growth rate of asking rents has decelerated from a record high of around 10.7 percent to 4.7 percent heading into the last month of Q2 (CoStar, Top 50 metros, minimum 10K Sf). Rent growth has officially fallen below its pre-pandemic 5.8 percent trendline that was on track since 2016. Rents are quickly decelerating toward the lowest level in a decade and at its current trajectory could drop into negative territory as early as Q1 2025. In coastal markets like Los Angeles, the reality of falling rents has already arrived. Given the current inflationary environment, negative rent growth is not ideal for property values. In the face of these new challenges, investors should strongly consider how to protect their real estate portfolios from stagflation. Today is the perfect time to consider investing in specialized industrial facilities that will allow landlords to raise rents to keep pace with the cost of living.
