EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the start of 2025, Lee & Associates made several key predictions about the Atlanta industrial market. With mid-year behind us, we are checking in—benchmarking where predictions prevailed, where the market surprised us, and what’s shaping the outlook for the remainder of the year. Despite headwinds, leasing has remained resilient, supply growth has eased, and tenants are staying put. However, vacancy is gradually rising as  tenants adapt to a new market cycle. YEAR-END…

The renewal trend, combined with limited new supply, is expected to…
