SAN ANTONIO - The local commercial real estate market continues to tighten as demand for premium space grows. Each market — industrial, office and retail — saw vacancy rates fall and rental rates increase, according to data from Xceligent Inc.

Through the first three quarters of the year, the industrial sector saw the highest growth with a net gain of more than 1.1 million sf.

During third quarter 2013, the citywide vacancy rate was 7.3 percent, a nearly 34 percent drop compared with the same period last year when the vacancy rate was at 11 percent.

Tight inventory coupled with strong demand pushed up rental rates to $7.54 per sf, representing a nearly 5 percent increase over last year.

The office market saw vacancy rates slip to 19 percent, a 4.5 percent decrease from the same time last year when the rate was nearly 20 percent. For the year through 3Q 2013, the sector managed to rack up more than a 334,000-sf net gain.

For the second quarter in a row, the retail sector saw the vacancy rate fall, leading to a net gain in occupied space. During 3Q 2013, the vacancy rate fell to 10.6 percent, a 7 percent dip compared with the same time last year.

So far this year, the retail sector has posted a net gain of nearly 264,000 sf of space. Rental rates grew 46 cents to $16.33 per sf.
