Record-breaking industrial construction projects reshaping San Antonio region


VACANCY RATE AT 4.6%
Two months into 2022, overall vacancy in the San Antonio industrial market remains tight at 4.7%, dropping 150 basis points from this time last year. Availability is at 7.7%, down 80 basis points from February 2021. The difference between this figure and the vacancy rate reflects expected future move-outs. The San Antonio industrial market has recorded 1.8 million sq. ft. of leasing activity—which is comprised of both new leases and renewals—while net absorption (move-ins minus move-outs) is at 4.6 million sq. ft. Among the notable projects completed that contributed to the above-average net absorption in 2022 include the 3.8 million sq. ft. Amazon SAT3 – Project Star at 6806 Cal Turner Drive. The San Antonio metro NNN average asking monthly rent is at $0.56 per sq. ft., up from $0.53 this time last year.
