GTA VACANCY RATE AT HISTORICALLY LOW LEVELS

 

The GTA Industrial Market vacancy rates moved even lower from the previous quarter, down to an all-time low of 1.4 %. Developers are in the process of delivering a record-high 12.85 Million Square Feet under construction; where new supply delivered in 2018 was just 6.33 Million SF. 

The average asking lease rate increased to $8.23 PSF, while new construction with 36’ high ceilings and greater would demand more than $9.50 PSF net.

 

Leasing activity reached 5.9 Million SF for the Q2 2019 with over 4.1 Million SF being leased in the GTA West Market. Demand from E-Commerce, 3PL, and logistics companies continue to be the main driver of the aforementioned activity across Greater Toronto Area.

As demand continues to outpace supply, rental rates are expected to increase further. A big contributor to this increase is the rising cost of industrial land, raw materials and labour, as well as an increase in development charges.

 

CAP rates are between 4.5% – 4.7%
