Hiffman Releases Q4 2024 Industrial Market Report
NAI Hiffman is pleased to present the Q4 2024 Industrial Market Report, an in-depth look at statistics for the Chicago industrial real estate markets.
Chicago’s Industrial Market Steady in 2024
Chicago’s industrial market maintained significant growth in 2024, though the market has seen a reset towards a new normal from the historic pace set during 2021 and 2022.
- Vacancy measured 5.8% during the fourth quarter, up from 5.5% one year ago, as 15.9 million square feet of new deliveries have come to market over the past 12 months.
- Despite a significant number of leases being signed, overall leasing volume has dipped as slowing of new big box industrial deliveries, as well as a shift in strategy to a more localized approach towards shipping and logistics has led to reduced square footage per lease.
