Construction activity continued to trend smaller as buildings of less than 300,000 square feet accounted for the majority of projects in the development pipeline. Class B leasing activity outpaced Class A in the third quarter as Class B landlords increase tenant improvement packages to become more competitive. Two speculative projects commenced in the Airport submarket combining for a total of 415,800 square feet.

Developers look to fill void with Q3 construction starts
Developers continued the recent trend of reducing the footprint for projects that
broke ground in the third quarter. While the first half of 2016 saw construction
activity heavily focused on buildings greater than 300,000 square feet,
construction has shifted as buildings less than 300,000 square feet account for
the majority of projects in the development pipeline. Leasing velocity within the
market has long been focused in the 50,000 to 150,000 square foot size range.
The smaller speculative buildings under construction can accommodate single or
multiple tenants within that range, positioning them to capitalize on tenants within
that size range. Steady demand and rising rental rates have afforded developers
the ability to move forward with smaller projects.
Class B leasing activity outpaces Class A in third quarter
While newly constructed modern bulk warehouse space has become the most
desirable space for tenants in today’s industrial world, Class B space has made
a comeback with the signing of two large deals in the third quarter. While Cass B
space may not provide the same amenities as newly constructed Class A space,
the product can still provide value for tenants in today’s market. Landlords are
using aggressive tenant improvement packages to add dock doors, and upgrade
sprinklers and lighting in order to entice tenants to lease space in Class B
buildings. Although Class A space is estimated to significantly outpace Class B
space moving forward, the third quarter proved there is still a market for older
product in Cincinnati.
Speculative constructions return to the Airport submarket continues
In the current development cycle, the southern and northern most submarkets
have been the focus of construction activity with over 13.5 million square feet of
space delivered since the Great Recession. While multiple build-to-suit projects
have taken place in the Airport submarket, only two speculative buildings have
been delivered in the submarket since 2009. The last completion, Prologis’
520,000-square-foot Gateway International, was leased to HH Gregg in the
second quarter of 2016. Two speculative developments commenced in the third
quarter, bringing the submarket back into the fray with Hemmer Constructions’
Airpark West #16 and Dermodys’ LogistiCenter at 275 #2; the projects total
151,800 and 264,000 square feet respectively.
Vacancy remains low amidst new deliveries
