It is time to update as we wrap up summer In Orange County the pace of play for companies and big announcements waivers a bit this quarter as recession talks intensify.

Market Reports

Second quarter reports are out for our entire company. You can access our National Market Report here. Macro breakdown for industrial and office. Detailed market breakdown included as well. Love our new reports. So much in there for so many. The 30,000 ft overview of the nation is below:

Industrial

Of the nation’s 390 metros surveyed, 216 posted positive net absorption in the second quarter and were led by Dallas/Ft. Worth with 11.6 million SF, Southern California’s Inland Empire at 10.1 million SF and 5.5 million SF in Atlanta. Chicago at 4.9 million SF and Las Vegas’ 3.4 million SF round out the top five. Among all markets, those with tenants shedding the most space in the first half of 2019 all are on the West Coast. Los Angeles posted 2 million SF of negative net absorption, followed by Orange County (-1.8 million SF), East Bay/Oakland (-1.2 million SF) and Portland (-1.2 million SF).

Mid-year tenant demand for industrial space increased 73.3 million SF but was down 51% compared to the first half of 2018, which is shaping up as the apparent peak in the current economic cycle’s rate of industrial growth. Despite flagging demand and easing rent growth, vacancies remain near record lows.

Office

Net absorption in the first half of 2019 totaled 35 million SF with 23.6 million SF of growth coming in Q2. More than 96 million SF was absorbed in 2018 with about 60 million of tenant growth coming in the second half. Deliveries to date, 44 million SF, are nearly equal to the first half of last year, but the volume of projects underway through June totaled 186.5 million SF – a record high in this cycle. That is a 10% increase from the in Q4 2018 and an 18% gain over the average of the previous three years.

Healthy tenant expansion returned in the second quarter but fell short of offsetting the overall market’s lackluster start to the year. Overall, the office market is tight. But unless demand improves dramatically in the second half, 2019 will post the lowest net absorption in four years just as construction pipelines in several metros swell with new projects.
