National market overview
Post-COVID, East Coast industrial leasing surged dramatically above pre-pandemic levels, driving vacancy below 2% and raising net prime rents by 30–60%. Throughout 2024, demand stabilised, easing rental growth and development pressures.
What does this mean for tenants and developers going forward?
What lies ahead for rental trends, property values, and development opportunities?
Effective rental growth is expected to remain subdued in the short term due to rising vacancies, with established areas seeing stronger growth and emerging areas offering more incentives to maintain face rents.
