Summer seasons are typically slow in Miami, however the Miami industrial real estate market experienced an increase in the average lease rate to $8.77 per sq. ft. and a decrease in vacancy to 4.7%. Over 3M sq. ft. has been absorbed this year with one more quarter to go. At this pace, we might break the 4M sq. ft. mark by year-end which would be extremely impressive especially given the new deliveries. On a side note, it is also amazing that we have had ten consecutive years without a major hurricane making landfall. “October – all over” as we often say.

Here’s an old time saying by Florida fishermen on hurricane season: “June – too soon. July – stand by. August – look out you must. September – remember. October – all over.”
