DFW leads U.S. in 1Q industrial leasingDFW leads U.S. in 1Q industrial leasinghttps://www.recenter.tamu.edu/news/newstalk-texas/?Item=10422015-05-12T09:59:00Z2015-05-12T00:00:00Z

DALLAS-FORT WORTH - The Dallas-Fort Worth area led the country in net industrial building leasing in first quarter 2015, according the latest U.S. Snapshot by Cushman & Wakefield.

Expanding and relocating tenants rented a net 6 million sf of warehouse and distribution space in North Texas in the first three months of 2015.

In all but a few markets, absorption continues to surpass construction or new supply, creating a healthy balance between recovering supply and demand.

“Market fundamentals continue to be strong, driven by a resilient economy, good job creation and a relatively strong housing market,” said Cushman & Wakefield’s John Morris. “But the biggest requirement stems from the need for facilities to satisfy the continued growth in e-commerce activity.”

Less than 7 percent of the nation’s warehouse space was empty at the end of the first quarter — the lowest vacancy rates in more than a decade for the U.S. industrial market.
