Absorption Positive But Slower in the Second Half of the Year; Premier Properties Thriving While Less Functional Buildings Languish

Q4 2013 INDUSTRIAL MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL INDUSTRIAL MARKET REPORT Absorption Positive But Slower in the Second Half of the Year; Premier Properties Thriving While Less Functional Buildings Languish MARKET INDICATORS Q4 2013 VACANCY AND ABSORPTION TRENDS There was 231,000 square feet of positive absorption in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Industrial market during Quarter Four of 2013. This brings the 2013 total absorption to 1,714,437 with 1,161,683 square feet absorbed in the first half and 552,754 square feet absorbed during the second half. Vacancy ticked down to 9.1 percent from 9.2 percent in Quarter Three and compares to 10.5 percent at year-end 2012.

In office showroom properties, landlords are signing leases with tenants at rates that are at or near quoted rates. There are buildings where landlords are achieving rates of $10 per square foot for office space and $5 per square foot for warehouse space. These instances are limited to well-located, efficient and functional properties and are due to this lack of available space for users requiring 100,000 square feet or more. For tenants needing between 10,000 and 25,000 square feet there are still numerous office showroom space options. DEVELOPMENT The lack of large blocks of space in functional, well-located properties is triggering speculative development. Developers are scrambling to keep up with demand among large users requiring 150,000 square feet or more. Opus has 200,000 square feet under construction in Shakopee at Valley Park Business, and United Properties began construction on a 140,800 square foot speculative flex property in Chanhassen with 24 clear ceiling heights. Scannell Properties is planning to break ground in the Second Quarter on a 71,000 square foot speculative property at 1475 Commerce Drive in Mendota Heights and First Industrial plans to begin construction this spring on two buildings in Brooklyn Park at Interstate North. There are dwindling options for industrial land in prime areas. Future industrial development will likely be concentrated in redevelopment of infill sites. This type of development requires expertise in cleaning up environmental issues and structuring the financial situation so that rental income covers higher costs of demolition and remediation. Speculative development will continue to be predominantly bulk warehouse or office warehouse properties with ceiling heights of 24 and above. Speculative office showroom development is not as plausible since developers take a higher risk to build higher-cost product unless they have a tenant signed on to lease the space at a rental rate that sustains the higher costs. www.colliers.com/msp

According to the Institute of Supply Management, economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in December for the seventh consecutive month. Creighton University s Mid-America Business Conditions Index reported very strong growth for firms in the durable goods manufacturing industry in Minnesota. (400,000) Airport/South of the River Minneapolis North Southwest St. Paul East West/ Northwest FUTURE TRENDS Prime space will continue to be in demand going forward and the lack of functional large blocks of space will be the main impetus behind new construction leading to build-to-suit and speculative development. Landlords at less functional space with lower ceiling heights and inferior locations will continue to offer aggressive rates to attract tenants. Rates at prime properties will continue to increase. Limited options for purchase by users will push prices upward. ST.
