Resiliency is the overarching theme of the Puget Sound industrial market Q3 of 2022. In the face of adverse economic conditions, 2.3 million square feet was absorbed, with 9.4 million for the year, across King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.
Despite inflation, supply chain issues, and uncertainty from Covid, development is on the upswing, with nearly 940,000 square feet of space in newly completed buildings hitting the market in the third quarter, with an additional 10.4 million square feet still under construction. A CBRE report on the strength of the Puget Sound industrial market noted “tenants in the market continue to patiently wait for large developments to come to fruition to accommodate their need for space.”
