MARKET TRENDS
- Vacancy in Tampa Bay continues to climb, up 200 (bps) year over year to 7.0% from 5.0% as new supply continues to outpace demand.
- Asking rates ticked up 1.5% year over year to $10.01 per square foot (psf), although on a quarterly basis, this represented a 3.4% decline.
- Quarterly net absorption, totaling nearly 900,000 square feet (sf), was primarily driven by the delivery of Target’s new 1.4-million-square-foot (msf) distribution center that delivered in the North Tampa submarket.
