Baltimore I-95 NorthIndustrial Market Review First Quarter 2014

Baltimore Metropolitan OverviewThe Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area

has emerged as one of the strongest

second-tier markets in the United States.

While Baltimore is a stand-alone

metropolitan statistical area (MSA) with

over 2.7 million residents, it is also part

of the Washington-Baltimore

consolidated statistical area (CSA) with a

total population over 8 million. The

Greater Baltimore region comprises

Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil,

Harford and Howard Counties as well as

Baltimore City. As of March 2014, the

Baltimore metropolitan area’s

unemployment rate was 6.3% compared

to the national unemployment rate of

6.7%.

Baltimore I-95 North Industrial MarketThe I-95 North industrial market

experienced little activity in the first

quarter of 2014 as inclement weather

contributed to a delay in new leasing

activity. Fortunately, the strength of the

I-95 North market was displayed by a

lack of sizeable moveouts that otherwise

would have caused a spike in vacancy.

The East Baltimore City and County

submarkets continue to enjoy some of

the spillover demand from the extremely

tight Harford and Cecil County

submarkets. With an overall vacancy rate

of 7.71%, the I-95 North industrial

market is certainly one of the strongest in

the Mid-Atlantic region.Current Market Trends

Rental Rates

Bulk rental rates will rise as there is now a lack of supply for bulk product. Functional office warehouse buildings should see a slight uptick in rates along-side absorption.

Leasing Activity

As the I-95 North market as a whole continues to tighten, the submarket of Baltimore County East is expected to be the next to experience potential absorption.

Tenant Concessions

Tenant concessions diminished during 2013 as vacancy rates have decreased. Q1 2014 saw concessions remain flat from year-end 2013.
