• The average strike rate for small-bay industrial (or light industrial) space, characterized as space between
10,000 s.f. and 25,000 s.f., currently stands at nearly $11.00 per-square-foot (industrial gross), a 9.5
percent increase year-over-year. Comparatively, leases signed this year above 50,000 square feet have
experienced a decline.
• Since 2010, small-bay rents have climbed more than 40.0 percent. Supply limitations for light-industrial
facilities has helped to curtail availability and grow rents in the market.
• Submarkets tied to expansive supply chains and good infrastructure have seen the highest rent growth
for small-bay product. For example, rents for this product type in the Airport West submarket have
increased 16.0 percent year-over-year. Major parks in this region include, Americas Gateway Park, Beacon
Centre and Prologis Beacon Lakes.
