New Jersey led the way with a 9.8 percent annual increase, followed closely by Miami at 9.6 percent. The Inland Empire and Atlanta both saw rents rise by 8.7 percent over the same period. Southern California, once a hotspot for rapid rent appreciation, experienced a noticeable slowdown in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"Under-construction industrial pipeline\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-ndRQy\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/ndRQy\/1\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"416\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, the Midwest posted the weakest rent gains. Kansas City saw in-place rents increase by just 2.0 percent, while Detroit and St. Louis recorded modest upticks of 2.3 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively. Across the U.S., newly signed leases in the past year averaged $10.36 per square foot\u2014$2.20 higher than the overall average. Miami led in lease premiums, with new agreements surpassing market rates by $5.65 per square foot, followed by Bridgeport, Conn., at $4.38 and Boston at $3.70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the national industrial vacancy rate ticked up to 8.0 percent in December, increasing by 50 basis points from the prior month. The gap between in-place rents and new lease rates shrank to $2.04 per square foot, signaling a continued trend toward a more balanced industrial leasing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-industrial-construction-slows-as-development-pipeline-shrinks\">Industrial construction slows as development pipeline shrinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the close of 2024, a total of 349.6 million square feet of industrial space was under construction across the U.S., representing 1.7 percent of the nation\u2019s total inventory, according to Yardi Matrix. However, new industrial starts dropped significantly last year, reaching just 236 million square feet\u2014a 35 percent decline from 2023 and more than 60 percent below 2022 levels.
