U.S. warehouse rents hit record highs in Q2 2023 despite decreasing demand; long-term leases and new premium facilities influence trends.
Despite declining demand, U.S. warehouse rents reached record highs in the second quarter of 2023, with an average asking rate of $9.59 per square foot, marking a 16.1% increase from the previous year. Several factors contribute to this trend: long-term lease agreements that disregard short-term market conditions, a persistently tight warehouse space market compared to historical standards, and newly constructed facilities with premium prices.
