REmark – Chicago Industrial Market Nationwide Comparison

Over the past 12 months, Chicago has seen 24.4 million square feet of positive net absorption, ranking second among all markets nationally, while maintaining the second lowest vacancy (4.2%) of the 7 largest markets.

Some of the larger coastal markets have seen a significant dip in demand, including both Los Angeles and the Inland Empire in California, as well as the New York/New Jersey marketplace, as import volume from China continues to slow.

However, Chicago remains uniquely positioned for continued growth, as its centralized location and expansive transportation infrastructure match the growing need for regionally controlled shipping and logistics.
