Industrial employment shows some softening
Employment in the industrial sectors is continuing its positive trend after
bottoming out in early 2012, but the growth rate has begun to slow as of late.
Mining output, particularly coal production across Missouri and Illinois, is down
27.3 and 43.6 percent over the past year according the Federal Reserve.
Manufacturing employment continued to slip as durable goods employment
shrunk by 4.9 percent in the last 12 months. The region does have a growing
construction sector. The value of building permits across the region is up 12.0
percent from 2015 and are over a billion dollars year to date.
Millions more of new construction still to come in 2016
Construction activity continued to move full steam ahead as the third quarter
concluded. Over 3.5 million square feet have delivered this year, and another 3.4
million square feet is set to finish in the fourth quarter. South County is adding its
first spec building to the development cycle as Fenton Logistics Park kicked off
the redevelopment of the former Chrysler plant with a 158,000-square-foot
warehouse. New development, coupled with growing occupancy, has pushed
warehouse asking rates up 4.4 percent in the past year.
Absorption concentrated in submarkets with new construction
After a huge third quarter, year-to-date absorption has exceeded four million
square feet, the most in more than 10 years. The commencement of Amazon’s
two fulfilment centers in Edwardsville and Schnuck’s warehouse in North County
added 2.5 million square feet to occupancy. Boeing added a new manufacturing
facility at its North County campus while Knapheide and Ole Tyme Produce each
completed build-to-suit projects in St. Charles County. Absorption will continue to
increase in the fourth quarter, but expect vacancy to move up slightly as several
vacant buildings deliver.
New buildings continue to drive occupancy growth
