The industrial market closed the quarter out with a positive
absorption totaling 493,605 square feet (sf), an increase of nearly
470,000 sf from Q1 2014. Nashville’s industrial market had a strong
leasing quarter with year-to-date leasing totaling 1,814,629 sf, a 41
percent increase from this time last year. Both the Southeast and
Wilson County submarkets experienced a robust leasing quarter with
Ingram Holdings subleasing 313,854 sf in the Crossings, Federal Mogul
leasing 200,000 sf in SouthPark, and Denso leasing 165,980 sf in
Wilson Commerce Center A. As rental rates continue to increase,
many companies have found it to be more cost-effective to purchase
a property rather than to pay a landlord each month.
Q1 2014
2.2
The Nashville industrial market remains tight with a majority of the
submarkets with vacancy rates in the single digits. With the overall
vacancy rate of 6.4%, 200 basis points lower than this time last year,
choices for companies looking to relocate or expand are quickly
dwindling. Nashville closed out the quarter with roughly 2.5 million
square feet (msf) under construction with all scheduled for
completion by the end of this year. With the exception of Panattoni’s
Centrepointe, all of the projects that are currently under
construction are build-to-suits with Under Armour’s distribution
center being the largest at roughly 1.1 msf. This $100-million
investment is the company’s third U.S. distribution center and will
employ approximately 1,500 workers.
STATS ON THE GO
1.4
NASHVILLE INDUSTRIAL MARKET
Nashville will see its first true speculative construction since 2007
with multiple projects on the horizon. Since vacancy continues to
tighten to record levels, rents will continue to increase as landlords
look to capitalize on the current boom in the industrial market.
4.1
Fueled by thousands of new jobs and an
unemployment rate well below the state and
national average, 2015 will be a banner year for
the Nashville MSA. Now firmly positioned
inside the top fastest growing big cities in the
U.S. by the Census Bureau and Forbes, Nashville is projecting a
population growth of roughly 1.5% over the next 12 months and a job
growth rate of 2.75%. Nashville’s recent growth history will continue
through 2015 with Moody’s Analytics projecting that by 2016, 48,000
more jobs will be added to the job pool. About 70% of the new jobs
added in 2014 came from existing companies already in the area
looking to expand. Since July 2013, Nashville has experienced over
165 relocations and expansions comprising over $2.6 billion in capital
investments.
