A REPORT RECENTLY ISSUED by Dallas-based industrial real estate firm CBRE shined a light on how demand for industrial and logistics warehousing space continues to increase. According to the report, CBRE found that the largest 100 industrial lease transactions in 2022 included a record-high 63 deals for 1 million square feet (MSF) or more-known as "megawarehouses"- topping the 57 deals recorded in 2021. What's more, CBRE added that the average size of the top 100 leases was 1.07 MSF, supplanting the previous record of 1.05 million MSF set in 2021. When looking at the sector verticals inking these megawarehouse deals, CBRE stated that traditional retailers and wholesalers represented 53 of the top 100 that are taking steps to expand their respective footprints to "accommodate e-commerce sales growth and to hold more inventory to guard against supply chain disruptions." That group was followed by 3PLs, with 18 signed leases, beating 2021's 10 signed leases, and e-commerce companies rounding out the top three. |
