Capacity Commercial Group: Summary Forecast
We ended the year as expected, in positive territory. The Portland and SW Washington markets continued performing in the same initial direction as we did late in 2015 with good activity (we wouldn’t say red-hot) and trending in a positive direction. Developers have responded to the demand, both in the larger SF class (100,000 SF and up) and smaller, 20-50,000 SF range with over 1.9MM SF under construction and another 2MM+ SF in the planning stages for late 2017, through 2018. Larger users looking for space in excess of 250,000 SF continue to find very few alternatives statewide. Ground-up opportunities exist but delivery dates (today) push projects well into 2018, which in many cases doesn’t work for 3PL’s sourcing space for a particular client. Strong fundamentals and lack of ground-up opportunities will continue to fuel investment sales of existing properties and demand for Class A space should outpace supply in 2017.
