INDUSTRIAL MARKET OUTLOOKQ2 2016
The U.S. industrial market continued its exceptionally positive run during the first half of 2016. In this past quarter we witnessed the lowest vacancy rates and the highest levels of net absorption, new supply, product under construction and asking rents ever recorded. Supply-chain modernization and positive economic fundamentals continue to drive demand. The bulk of activity remains concentrated in core industrial markets but is also growing in other coastal and inland port locations. With the supply-chain renaissance still in its infancy, many markets are reporting relentless demand from retailers and wholesalers seeking to satisfy rapidly growing e-commerce needs. We expect the surge in requirements to keep vacancies low, absorption levels high and new development robust for the remainder of the year and into 2017.
Key Takeaways > Despite weak GDP growth in the first half of the year, consumer spending has been solid, particularly in Q2, with an annualized growth rate of 4.2%—the highest rate of growth since 2014. Major factors include accelerating job growth as well as continued recovery in housing markets, leading to increased consumer spending and confidence.
> E-commerce sales continued to outperform overall retail sales. Online sales grew 15% in Q1 compared with the same time a year ago, five times higher than the 3% overall retail growth for the same time period. These sales generated far more demand for industrial space than equivalent sales in brick-and-mortar stores, as merchants shift more goods into warehouses rather than into stores.
> Vacancy rates declined versus mid-year 2015 in 84% of the markets we track. At mid-year only 6.0% of the nation’s industrial space is vacant, the lowest rate on record. Vacancies dropped despite 63 million square feet (MSF) of new supply completing in Q2, breaking the previous record of 60 MSF set just last quarter. Development will not ease any time soon, with a record 204 MSF now under construction.
> Strong leasing and lower vacancies, especially in modern class A distribution centers, drove up asking rents in Q2 to $5.66 per square foot per year (PSF/YR), an all-time record for the country (not adjusted for inflation). Asking rents for distribution space increased year-over-year in 87% of the markets we track.

Robust Job Growth and Consumer Spending a Positive Sign for Industrial Real Estate
The U.S. economy decelerated significantly in early 2016 from its already weak pace of recent years, but the news wasn’t entirely bad: Job growth remains robust, though the above-average growth could not be sustained as the economy approached full employment. And while GDP growth has been a clear disappointment, with gains over the past four quarters barely above 1%, most economic indicators remain good to very good, particularly consumer spending, which registered its strongest quarter since 2014.
Equity markets joined the overwhelming consensus of economists and agreed that Brexit was not the grave threat to global prosperity suggested by market volatility in the immediate aftermath of the vote. Economists and the markets have now refocused their attention back to the domestic U.S. economy where key indicators continue to send mixed messages.
The employment reports have been stronger this summer, adding 255,000 jobs in July on top of 292,000 new payrolls in June, reversing the slower growth trend this past winter and spring. The increase in jobs is having a positive effect on consumer confidence and spending. Consumer spending increased 4.2% at an annual rate, the highest rate of growth since 2014. Nonetheless, the government’s first estimate of Q2 GDP was only 1.2%, about half of the consensus forecast. Moreover, the government also retroactively revised its GDP estimates for the past three years, with Q1 GDP adjusted down to only 0.8%. So, GDP did indeed accelerate this past quarter, but only relative to the downgraded Q1 figure and still well below expectations.
Thus, economic growth for the year is unlikely to match even the moderate pace averaged over the past few years, though the pace of growth should pick-up in the second half of the year. With real GDP barely growing above stall speed and preliminary Q3 GDP figures not due until late October, the Fed is most unlikely to raise rates in September. As always, future hikes will depend on job gains and economic growth. Regardless, the magnitude and pace of near-term hikes will not be material to the real estate sector.

Relentless Demand Leads to a Record-Breaking Quarter for Industrial Real Estate
E-commerce sales rose an impressive 15% in the first quarter (latest data available) compared with the same time period last year. The surge in e-commerce sales is forcing retailers and wholesalers to modernize the supply chain. This includes relocating to distribution centers with contemporary material-handling capabilities near population centers or inland ports suitable for reaching consumers quickly. Retail and wholesale inventories are also on the rise as e-commerce requires retailers and wholesalers to keep higher product inventories in distribution centers to prevent stock-outs in an increasingly competitive online sales environment. These trends work to the advantage of industrial markets.
The rebound of the housing market is another contributor to the robust growth in industrial real estate. Supported by job growth and near record-low mortgage rates, first-time home buyers helped existing home sales increase for the fourth consecutive month in June, with a 3.0% increase compared with June 2015. Existing home sales are a boon to the retail industry, generating an upsurge in demand for home improvement items, furniture and appliances. E-commerce is also supported by strong home-sales fundamentals. Online home store Wayfair.com expanded into large chunks of distribution space across the country in the first half of 2016.
The demand for larger, modern space created record-setting fundamentals in Q2. More than 77 MSF were absorbed, surpassing the previous record of 72 MSF in Q2 2015 by 7%. A whopping 141 MSF were absorbed in the first half of 2016 with core markets dominating occupancy gains, including Chicago, which led the nation at 14 MSF. The record amount of absorption lowered vacancies in the U.S. to 6.0% at mid-year, 70 basis points (BPS) lower than this time last year and the lowest vacancy rate recorded going back to the 1980s. Low vacancies continue to induce development across

the country. A record-breaking 62 MSF were completed in the U.S. in Q2, led by the Inland Empire at 10.1 MSF. In all, nearly 123 MSF of space were completed in the first half of 2016, with the Inland Empire also leading the pack at 15 MSF or 12% of the total. New development is not expected to ease any time soon as the pipeline continues to grow. Yet another record was broken in Q2 when the amount of under-construction projects reached 204 MSF, 6% higher than the previous record set in Q4 2015. Dallas-Ft. Worth accounts for 22 MSF of this activity, 91% of which is speculative.

Investment Activity
Despite record-breaking demand, investment volume declined for the second consecutive quarter to $12 billion, bringing the year-to-date total to $26 billion—31% lower than the record-breaking volume transacted at mid-year 2015. Lower transaction volumes are not due to a lack of demand but rather because of the lack of large, national portfolio sales that made 2015 a record-breaking year for industrial investment. Economic volatility often makes industrial real estate a safe haven for capital, with owners less likely to part with a major portion of inventory without another secure source to place it.
With fewer portfolio options, investors switched gears in the first half of 2016 to single building or smaller portfolio sales, and expanded their search into growing secondary markets. This includes Cleveland, Columbus, Kansas City and Detroit. These markets are reporting strong demand because of their locations near population centers or inland ports, and all posted year-over-year gains in number of transactions closed. Despite lower transaction volume, the average price PSF finished mid-year at $80 PSF, $10 PSF higher than this time last year. Higher sales prices lowered cap rates to 6.6%, down 10 BPS from this time last year.

Industrial Real Estate Outlook
Consumer spending is a major driver of industrial real estate and will be shaped by how much e-commerce grows and how long demand lasts. Weak GDP numbers bear watching, but strong job growth in Q2 is a positive sign that consumer demand will likely continue for the foreseeable future. We expect this demand to keep imports robust in the coming quarters, as exports face headwinds due to a strong dollar and weakening international economic fundamentals.
The Panama Canal expansion was completed in Q2, but its effect on port volumes and industrial real estate will take time to manifest. Many East Coast ports are in the midst of programs to improve infrastructure before they can handle larger ships crossing the canal. The demand uptick in many East Coast port markets is a sign that occupiers foresee an increase in inventories passing through the ports in the coming year. However, West Coast ports and the industrial markets that support them are not expected to slow. The natural deep harbors and infrastructure improvements in these markets along with a growing population, will likely keep goods flowing at a robust pace for the foreseeable future.
Wholesaler demand is something to watch in the coming quarters. Retailers are increasingly taking online orders and having wholesalers ship directly from their warehouses. Moreover, many wholesalers are looking to sell directly to customers, further increasing demand for industrial real estate. Consumer demands for next-day and same-day delivery will push the need for industrial real estate higher. Inland port markets and secondary markets near population centers will likely see the largest increase in demand with core markets continuing to thrive for the remainder of 2016.
