Leasing activity remained strong for Class A space to end 2016 as developers continued to fill the pipeline with speculative projects.The historically tight Airport submarket saw more space become available in the fourth quarter thanks to two large users vacating space in addition to speculative projects in the development pipeline. As the market continues to face a tightening market for available land, civic groups are answering the call with the development of infill sites.

Leasing activity finishes the year strong
Throughout 2016 developers have filled the construction pipeline with projects to
meet growing tenant demand for industrial space within the market. The fourth
quarter confirmed developers confidence as Class A leasing heated up,
absorbing over 650,000 square feet of space. As rental rates have risen,
developers have become increasingly confident in speculative buildings smaller
than 200,000 square feet. A trend was reversed from the start of 2016 in which
projects greater than 300,000 square feet accounted for the majority of the
development pipeline. Multiple deals were signed in recently delivered buildings
in the smaller size segment, confirming that higher rental rates can be achieved.
Quality space finally available in the Airport submarket
Over the last two years the airport submarket has become increasingly tight with
the vacancy rate falling below 2 percent to start 2016. Fortunately for tenants,
space have become available due to recently vacated spaces as well as new
construction in the submarket. The fourth quarter saw Innotrac vacate 646,000
square feet at Litton Lane, as well as 194,000 square feet that Dematic vacated
in Airpark West. One building delivered was the 151,800-square-foot Airpark
West # 16. Construction commenced on Hebron Logistics Center, containing two
buildings totaling 718,658 square feet and Dermody continued construction on
the 264,000-square foot LogistiCenter at 275 #2. Recent development activity
reaffirms developers confidence in tenant demand for space in the submarket.
Civic activity opens doors to infill sites in fourth quarter
While Cincinnati’s industrial market has seen continued growth since the Great
Recession, the market is still plagued by a shortage of available land for
industrial development. As our second quarter report touched upon, civic players
have become increasingly more involved preparing infill sites for industrial
development. The fourth quarter was no different as the City of Evendale
announced the purchase of the 24.6-acre “Aero-Hub”, an advanced
manufacturing campus. In addition, the Port Authority began demolition of the
former Gibson Greeting card building to make way for a 56-acre site for new
development. The Port Authority also partnered with JTM Food Group on a
78,668-square-foot freezer-cooler warehouse at 200 Industrial Drive in Harrison.
Market fundamentals strengthen to end year
