QUARTER IN REVIEW 3RD QUARTER LEE & ASSOCIATES - IRVINE / NEWPORT BEACH / ORANGE INDUSTRIAL MARKET REPORT Industrial Vacancy Tumbles To 3.1% On Surging Demand The countywide vacancy rate fell 5 basis points in the third quarter to a record low of 3.1% as intense demand for industrial space continued apace, cutting deeper into an already sparse inventory of available space across Orange County s four submarkets. Net countywide absorption of 1.1 million sq. ft. of space in was the second most for any three-month period since the recession. Slightly more than 2 million sq. ft. have been absorbed in the last two quarters. This leaves 8.5 million sq. ft. of vacant space out of the county s base of 276 million sq. ft. among 8,315 buildings of at least 1, sq. ft. in Lee & Associates quarterly survey. Companies planning for growth are adding many months to their searches for suitable space and are seeing fewer options. For now, average asking rents are 13% below the market s 28 peak. That is expected to change as many leases extended during the recession are coming up for renewal through next year. Renewal rates are up as much as 3%. Among the handful of properties that come up for sale, generally all are drawing multiple offers at prices at or near pre-recession highs. Industrial land for new development is unavailable and the total inventory of industrial space has contracted by 4.3 million sq. ft since 28, adding to upward pricing pressures. North County the county s largest submarket with 114.6 million sq. ft. of space has been one of the hottest. Its vacancy rate fell to 3.2% from 3.9% on s net absorption of 441,839 sq. ft. There are 3.6 million sq. ft. of vacant space, 4.6 million sq. ft. less than in 21. The Airport submarket with 2,51 buildings totaling 75 million sq. ft. posted 248,49 sq. ft. of net absorption in, pushing its vacancy rate to 2.6% from 3.2% in the prior quarter. About 4.4 million sq. ft. of empty space has come off the market since vacancy peaked at 8.2% in 21. Net absorption in South County was 85,894 sq. ft. in the third quarter, pushing down the vacancy rate 2 basis points to 4.4%. Vacancies among 1,261 buildings totaled 1.8 million sq. ft. on a 41.5 million-sq.-ft. inventory. Demand also has been strong for space in the small West County submarket. In, its vacancy rate fell to 2.3% from 2.8% on net absorption of 339,697 sq. ft. About 2.6 million sq. ft. have come off the 44.7-million-sq.-ft. West County s submarket in 11 quarters when vacancy was 3.5 million sq. ft. In Los Alamitos, for example, only 34,34 sq. ft. of space is available in a total inventory of 15 buildings totaling 3.7 million sq. ft.
