– Vacancy in Atlanta’s industrial market remains elevated across all building classes, but the underlying demand picture is increasingly divided. Class A vacancy has declined from its 2024 peak of 13.9% to 11.3% in 2026 YTD, supported by 11.5 msf of positive net absorption.
– In contrast, Class B and Class C vacancies have continued climbing to 9.4% and 7.6%, respectively, as the two segments recorded a combined 4.7 msf of negative absorption so far in 2026.
– Class A has now absorbed 15.4 msf more than Classes B and C combined year-to-date, demonstrating that occupier demand remains concentrated in modern, high-quality industrial facilities even as overall market vacancy holds at 9.4%.
