There are 3.8 million SF of new construction in the works, which is 1.7% relative to inventory and slightly below the national average. The most notable area of supply is the emergence of North Miami Beach, the metro’s second largest submarket. There is currently 1.8 million SF under development in this submarket, which is more than half of the metro’s total development. North Miami Beach is seeing a higher rate of development due to its strategic location relative to infrastructure, and because of the fact that it is much cheaper in terms of land costs and rent prices.

Vacancy rates in Miami are around 4.7%, but rental growth rate is about a percent below last year. Miami industrial has the highest rental growth of any other commercial real estate sector. The metro’s three largest submarkets, Miami Airport West, North Miami Beach, and Medley are seeing rent growth that is very close to the metro headline rate of 5%. The forecast is calling for rent growth to continue normalizing and to drop by an additional percent over the next year.

From a construction standpoint, the Miami-metro area remains active with 3.8 million SF in the works across 30 properties, 1.7% relative to inventory, which is slightly below the national average. North Miami Beach Submarket has emerged as a construction hotspot. The North Miami Beach Submarket offers an excellent strategic location relative to infrastructure and is much cheaper in terms of both land cost as well as rents. The largest under-construction project is Bridge Point Commerce Center at 21201 NW 43rd Ave, located in the North Miami Beach Submarket. The project is comprised of three buildings and will deliver a combined 1.1 million SF of new product when it is fully completed. The second-largest project underway is the 246,000-SF Pepsi distribution center at 8701 NW 93rd St, located in the Medley Submarket.

The project will deliver in August 2020, and the sole tenant will be Pepsi. The third-largest project underway is the 220,000-SF SeaVee building at 111000 NW South River Dr, located in the Medley Submarket.The industrial products’ shorter construction cycle compared to other commercial real estate means that supply can adjust quickly to meet demand in the market.

As of April 9, 2020, due to the recent Coronavirus pandemic, the City of Miami and Miami Beach are both under a “shelter in place” order, meaning residents cannot leave their homes unless they are visiting a grocery store, purchasing essential goods, or require medical assistance. Most businesses have closed their doors or have switched to a telecommuting model. The pandemic is expected to place a large burden on the county’s healthcare system. The impact on the local economy will depend on how widespread the pandemic is, but it is likely to greatly impact the commercial real estate market in Miami-Dade County. The hospitality industry in the region will take the brunt of the economic hit as people are required to stay home and not travel.
