The third quarter of 2017 ends with a slight increase in the average lease rate to $9.76 per sq. ft. and the vacancy rate remains the same at 4.1%. The positive absorption was only 174,347 sq. ft. bringing the annual total thus far to just under 900,000 sq. ft. Although the stats this year are not particularly impressive everyone still wants more industrial real estate assets in Miami.

Two large sales worth noting were Winn-Dixie’s sale-leaseback of their 968,487 sq. ft. facility in Gratigny for $59,000,000 and Seagis Property Group’s acquisition of two warehouses totaling 207,420 sq. ft. in Miami for $23,440,000. There were only two lease transactions over 100,000 sq. ft. which is not uncommon in our market.

Summertime and the Hurricane Irma recovery are now behind us and the market is now very active. Most of Miami’s industrial real estate market only experienced tropical storm conditions. Miami International Airport did record wind gusts of about 90 mph, but most buildings had very little to no damage. There was no effect on the overall market other than some delays for a week or two during the recovery time. In addition to some nominal landscaping damage, some of our customers did report some more serious electrical and roof issues with their buildings. Our friends in the agriculture industry in South Miami-Dade were much less fortunate. There was widespread destruction of nursery farms and groves. It may take a couple of years for some operations to fully recover.
