Strong Leasing Activity in 2022 as Bigger Blocks Get Filled

The Palm Beach County industrial market held steady throughout 2022, as heavy demand pushed rental rates to all-time highs. At the same time, 635,200 square feet delivered over the year, helping to provide further space options for new and existing tenants. Despite strong leasing activity, net absorption for the fourth quarter was negative and the vacancy rate jumped up 50-basis points year-over-year to 3.6 percent. The ongoing trend of new-to-market tenants coupled with population growth are expected to bode well for market fundamentals going into 2023, which will contribute to balanced market fundamentals moving forward.
