Miami industrial real estate market reports

Q4 2022

Miami’s industrial market continues to attract top-tier institutional tenants looking for large blocks of space. This has driven availability and vacancy to historic lows, at 10.1 million square feet (msf) and 2.1% respectively. A wave of move-ins at the end of the fourth quarter pushed absorption over 7 msf, and tight inventory has put upward pressure on rates, which grew 41.4% in 2022 to $15.16. Miami continues to see both proposals for new developments and strong leasing activity despite global macroeconomic concerns and fears of a recession. This signals that investors, owners and users all see strength in the Miami industrial market through 2023.
