Market Indicators Relative to prior period Q2 2017 Forecast Vacancy Net Absorption Construction Rental Rate Summary Statistics South Bay, Q2 2017 Vacancy Rate 0.8% Change from Q1 17 (Basis Points) 0 BPS Net Absorption 421,900 Construction Completions 610,300 South Bay remains the premier market for distribution companies and sea and air cargo centered industrial users. It is nearly fully developed so land is incredibly scarce. Tight market conditions and a lack of larger modern space continue to be deterrents that drive tenants to neighboring markets, primarily to the east. Asking Rents South Bay, Q2 2017 Average Asking Rent Change from Q2 16 $0.79 P NNN +$0.07 P NNN Y.O.Y.

Vacancy > The vacancy rate remained at 0.8%, its lowest level ever recorded. > Vacancy is tightest in the LAX / ES / Hawthorne submarket at 0.4% and highest in the Carson / Compton / RD market at 1.2% > Forecast: New supply may bring some relief in vacancy rates, but with only 1 million of supply on the horizon we may be see sub 1% vacancy in the South Bay for much of 2017. Absorption and Leasing Activity > Industrial demand reported 421,900 of positive net absorption this quarter and 879,400 for the year to date. > Sales and leasing activity totaled 2,699,200 this quarter. This was broken out into 10 sales (294,800 ) and 48 leases (2,404,400 ). > Forecast: Absorption is likely to be flat for 2017 as there is little new supply hitting the market and further gains will be hard to achieve.

Tenants who signed leases 5 years ago can expect to their rent to increase roughly 45% upon renewal.

Construction > There was 610,300 of new supply this quarter in multiple projects. > There remains 1,031,700 of space currently under construction; an incredibly small amount for a 211.6 million industrial market. > Development is exceedingly difficult in the South Bay as raw land, if available, will sell for a premium. > Forecast: We are on the tail end of a construction boom and new supply will trickle in for the rest of 2017. Development will remain limited to build to suit projects or creative rehabilitation of underperforming space.
