New supply of industrial space totaling 256,000 square feet have been delivered to the Dayton area’s inventory since the start of 2018, according to Colliers.
Construction activity has increased, though, now equaling 1.8 million square feet, the firm said.
“Half of that total is speculative and is concentrated in the North submarket adjacent to the Dayton International Airport,” Colliers said. “These two buildings developed by Kansas City-based Northpoint Development are 50 percent pre-leased.”
For the second quarter of 2018, Dayton’s industrial market rose to a 7.2 percent vacancy rate — which is one percent higher than a year ago — with another 1.8 million square feet still under construction, Colliers said.
Colliers put asking rents for the overall industrial market at $3.50 per square foot.
