Moderate Slow Down Caused by New Construction


In the third quarter 2023, the Miami Dade County industrial market showed signs of a moderate slowdown, largely based
on the influx of new construction. Vacancy rates increased, following a significant amount of negative absorption, caused
by the 2.3 million square feet of new construction. However, demand kept pace with supply, which helped push rental
rates up to an all-time high. The Miami Dade County industrial market is expected to level out based on low unemployment
rates, continued population growth, healthy labor market conditions and persistent tenant demand, although continued
economic uncertainty lingers.
