Capacity Commercial Group: Summary Forecast

Due to high demand and lack of new industrial space alternatives, CCG expects demand for smaller spaces in the 15,000-30,000 SF range to remain insatiable. The East Columbia Corridor/Airport areas will again show the most demand (and new spec development), followed by the I-5 Corridor. Tenants and buyers have few options and this trend is expected to continue into 2017. Investment activity is good; however, only a few properties traded in the second quarter.
