## Resource

Industrial real estate in 2026 is stabilizing after a rough patch—vacancy rates, though still high, are likely peaking, with steady leasing outpacing vacancies. Lease rates have dipped from $1.80 to $1.49 per sq ft, leveling off as landlords compete with incentives, keeping tenant costs favorable. Small buildings ( 100K sq ft) sit idle at over 14% vacancy. New construction has plummeted 66% due to soaring costs and rates, potentially tightening supply later. Owner-user sales lag due to high financing costs and reluctant sellers, meaning quality assets will attract interest—but deals will be slower and more price-sensitive, heavily influenced by the Fed’s next rate move.
