TENANT DEMAND, RENT GROWTH COOLS<\/strong>
\nEasing overall demand for industrial space continued in the second quarter, pushing up the countywide vacancy rate to 3.9%, a percentage point more than a year ago and its highest in five years. <\/p>\n

Tenants shed 519,062 SF in the second quarter and 1,826,119 SF of space in the first half, the most since the recession. <\/p>\n

South County was the only market with positive net absorption in Q2 with 206,512 SF of tenant expansion but there was continued weakness in the North County, West County and Airport markets.<\/p>\n

Since the vacancy rate bottomed out at the end of 2016 at 2.5%, 4,715,926 SF of space has gone back into available inventory, a break for growth-minded users whose expansion plans have been stymied by the lack of suitable space. Analysts maintain that the record-low vacancy rate was effectively zero vacancy for many requirements.<\/p>\n

Because access to the twin ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles is vital for many industrial users, it follows that growth in port traffic has cooled in 2019 after breaking records the last several years. Year-to-date container volume is up only 0.25% from a year ago.
\nAbsorption in the North County market, the county\u2019s tightest market and largest with 117.1 million SF of inventory, has been in the red this year by 982,825 SF. North County posted 16,888 SF of negative absorption in 2018. Its vacancy rate settled at 3.7% at the end of Q2, up from 1.4% since early last year.<\/p>\n

Weakened demand for space in the 73.3-millon SF Airport market for the fourth straight quarter totaled 1,261,371 SF of negative absorption. Negative absorption has totaled 2,759,546 SF since 2016.<\/p>\n

Net absorption in the 42.8-million SF West County market was off 356,334 SF year to date and is negative 1,043,379 in the last 10 quarters.<\/p>\n

South County, the smallest market with 41.5-million SF of inventory, has posted only four quarters of positive absorption since the end of 2016. In the last 10 quarters, South County net absorption was a negative 60,257 SF.<\/p>\n

Year-over-year countywide rent growth totaled 8.2% but Q2 asking rents were virtually flat across all markets.<\/p>\n

Asking rents are highest in the South County market, gaining 9.8% year over year and averaging $1.36 per SF gross at the close of Q2. <\/p>\n

Lease rates in the Airport market were up 15.4% year over year, settling at $1.20 per SF gross in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

North County asking rents averaged 97 cents per SF gross, up 5.4% year over year.
\nRents in West County were off 1% year over year ending the second quarter averaging 95 cents per SF gross.<\/p>\n
