1 Research & Forecast Report LAS VEGAS INDUSTRIAL Q Industrial Meets the Challenge > > Demand for industrial space increased in the second quarter of 2017 Economic Indicators > > Industrial development increased as well, with almost 2 million square feet completed > > Vacancy decreased to a very healthy 5.4 percent INDUSTRIAL Employment RESIDENTIAL Permit Value TRANSPORTATION Taxable Sales -4.4 With Southern Nevada s new industrial construction boom well underway, the results have been encouraging. At midyear 2017, Southern Nevada s industrial market has posted net absorption totaling 3.6 million square feet, alongside 3.7 million square feet of new construction. This has occurred while vacancy has increased from the low of 5.3 percent recorded in the third quarter of 2016 to the current 5.4 percent. Vacancy in the second quarter of 2017 was 0.1 point lower than it was in the first quarter of The overall weighted average asking rate decreased to $0.64 per square foot (psf) on a triple net (NNN) basis in the second quarter of 2017, a $0.01 decrease from one quarter ago. The industrial job market picture in Southern Nevada is not entirely rosy. The job market added 4,000 industrial jobs in (the latest month of data available) compared with April Job growth was not experienced in all sectors. +2.2% -34.1% Market Indicators Relative to prior period Q Q3 2017* Vacancy Net Absorption Completions Rental Rate *Projected Summary Statistics Las Vegas Market Q2-16 Q1-17 Q2-17 Historical Vacancy Rates and Asking Lease Rates Vacancy Rate 5.6% 5.5% 5.4% 6.0% 5.9% 5.8% 5.7% 5.6% 5.5% 5.4% 5.3% 5.2% $0.68 $0.67 $0.66 $0.65 $0.64 $0.63 $0.62 $0.61 $0.60 Asking Rent (P, NNN) $0.62 $0.65 $0.64 Net Absorption () 778,135 1,528,311 2,086,693 New Completions () 661,726 1,783,040 1,959,185 Overall Asking Rents Per Square Foot 5.1% 5.0% 2 Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q 2015 $0.59 $0.58 Vacancy Asking Rental Rate As it stands, vacancy may still be higher at the end of 2017 than at the beginning of the year, but it will probably not go much higher than 6.0 percent.

2 The construction sector added 6,800 jobs, and will probably add more as the Valley welcomes the construction of the new Raiders stadium, the expansion of the Convention Center and continued work on Project Neon. Gains were also recorded in manufacturing, which added 300 jobs over the past twelve months. Job losses, however, were experienced in the transportation & warehousing sector, which lost 2,600 jobs, and wholesale sector, which lost 500 jobs. The transportation & warehousing losses may be reversed as new jobs are eventually accounted for at the new warehouse/distribution projects that are being completed and occupied in Unemployment in the Las Vegas-Paradise MSA stood at 4.6 percent as of, down from 5.9 percent in April From April 2016 to, total employment in Southern Nevada increased by 40,600 jobs. Southern Nevada s industrial inventory expanded by 3.7 million square feet in the first half of An additional 4.9 million square feet of industrial space should be completed by the end of the year, putting the likely year-end construction total at 8.6 million square feet. Projects that should be completed in the third quarter are 38 percent pre-leased or build-to-suit, while those slated for completion in the fourth quarter are 30 percent preleased or build-to-suit. With 4.9 million square feet of industrial left to be completed this year, it makes sense to take a look at how quickly the Valley has absorbed the space that has already been completed. Properties completed so far in 2017 had net absorption of 2,682,000 square feet, giving them a vacancy rate of 28 percent. Net absorption in these new properties amounted to 74 percent of all net absorption in the Valley. Net absorption in the second quarter of 2017 was positive in six of the Valley s seven submarkets. The highest net absorption was in North Las Vegas (1,594,891 square feet), followed by Airport (170,147 square feet) and West Central (155,668 square feet). Negative net absorption occurred in Henderson (negative 48,268 square feet).

We expected vacancy to be on the rise through 2017 as the Valley attempted to absorb new development. In fact, demand has kept up with supply this year. The Valley s lowest vacancy rate was in the East Las Vegas submarket (3.1 percent), followed by West Central (4.0 percent) and Airport (5.4 percent). The Valley s highest vacancy was in Northwest (7.5 percent), followed by Henderson (5.7 percent).

3 11.8 percent of leasing came from the Southwest U.S. (including California) and companies from the Southeast states took about 9.2 percent. The weighted average asking lease rate for industrial space decreased in the second quarter of 2017 to $0.64 psf NNN from last quarter s $0.65. This quarter s average rental rate was $0.02 higher than one year ago. If adjusted for inflation, the weighted average asking lease rate is $0.46 psf NNN, a $0.01 increase from one year ago. The current asking rate, adjusted for inflation, is $0.05 lower than it was during the Valley s last economic recovery period in Units leased in the second quarter of 2017 had effective lease rates that averaged percent of asking rates, a slight dip from 2016 s average of percent. Much of the decrease in the overall weighted average asking lease rate in 2017 is due to the completion of large warehouse/ distribution spaces. If you simply averaged lease rates across the board, you would see a slight increase in asking rents overall, indicating that Southern Nevada s industrial market is retaining its value even in the face of a massive expansion. At mid-year 2017, industrial investment sales volume was $172.5 million in 32 sales totaling 1,701,000 square feet. This is comparable with Average sales price per square foot year-to-date was $101.42, a solid increase from 2016 s average of $ The average cap rate was 7.1 percent, down from 7.2 percent in Southern Nevada s industrial market had over 1.0 million square feet of product marketed for sale as investments at mid-year, with an average asking price of $ psf, and an average cap rate of 7.8 percent. Challenged with an extraordinary amount of new development, Southern Nevada s warehouse/distribution market has met the challenge.

4 net absorption, the new product being completed in Southern Nevada is clearly meeting a need for such space. We thought that warehouse/distribution vacancy would be nudging upwards over the course of 2017, but at mid-year this does not look to be the case. Warehouse/distribution vacancy was 5.9 percent in the second quarter of 2017, with 1.6 million square feet of net absorption and 2.0 million square feet of new construction. The light distribution market may be experiencing the same cycle as warehouse/distribution did a year ago. Vacancy in light distribution has fallen to 4.5 percent, but net absorption at midyear totaled only 207,776 square feet and only 28,244 square feet in the second quarter of This could mean that the space currently available in Southern Nevada is not meeting the needs of businesses who need light distribution space, and thus new development may be in order. Fortunately, there were 319,077 square feet of light distribution space under construction in the second quarter, in the Airport and Henderson submarkets. If the light distribution market is ready for new construction, the light industrial market is overdue. Vacancy in light industrial projects was only 3.8 percent and net absorption in the second quarter was a very strong 424,557 square feet. Only 83,411 square feet of new light industrial space is now under construction. Hopefully, asking rents hitting $0.70 psf will stimulate new development soon. While the incubator and flex markets are not doing as well as other industrial subtypes, they are much improved since the peak of the Great Recession. Incubator space hit a 7.6 percent vacancy rate in the second quarter of 2017, with mid-year net absorption hitting 55,765 square feet. Flex was 8.9 percent vacant, with year-to-date net absorption at 44,678 square feet. One incubator project is planned to begin construction in the next twelve months, and no flex properties are under construction or planned. The question heading into mid-year was whether or not Southern Nevada could absorb upwards of 9.0 million square feet of new warehouse/distribution space in a single year. Of course, the Valley did better than that during the boom in the early 2000 s, but ten years of recession and recovery left some in doubt of whether the demand for that much space, that quickly, existed. The answer at mid-year appeared to be yes. With 3.7 million square feet of new construction so far in 2017, the Valley has absorbed 3.6 million square feet, putting vacancy at a very reasonable 5.4 percent. Another 4.4 million square feet is scheduled to come online by the end of 2017, and pre-leasing for that space is strong. As it stands, vacancy may still be higher at the end of 2017 than at the beginning of the year, but it will probably not go much higher than 6.0 percent. With Southern Nevada s new industrial construction boom well underway, the results have been encouraging.
