San Antonio Industrial vacancies shrink to record-breaking low.
VACANCY RATE AT ALL-TIME LOW OF 3.6%
Four months into 2022, overall vacancy in the San Antonio industrial market has tightened to a record-breaking low of 3.6%, dropping 230 basis points from last year at 5.9%. Availability is at 7.3%, down 60 basis points from April 2021. The difference between this figure and the vacancy rate reflects expected future move-outs. The San Antonio industrial market has recorded 3.1 million sq. ft. of leasing activity, comprised of new leases and renewals, while net absorption (move-ins minus move-outs) is at 7.1 million sq. ft. 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, and the 900,000-sq.-ft. Navistar manufacturing facility at 14607 U.S. 281 S.
