This was due to a low vacancy rate over the past several quarters, coupled with strong Supply and demand (s.f.) New Supply net absorption and an insufficient amount of new supply, finally catching up with Net absorption 13,000,000 the market. Will average asking net rents continue to increase? Well, many analysts thought that the purchase of PIRET REIT by Blackstone was on the belief that the 10,000,000 GTA Industrial market is poised for significant rental rate growth. This assumption 7,000,000 of where the market is headed, has prompted other Landlords in the market to adjust their rates accordingly upward. We’re already witnessing new construction 4,000,000 average asking net rents over $7.00 per square foot in all the submarkets in the GTA, 1,000,000 and Class A space trading at over $7.00 per square foot in the GTA West and North 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 submarkets. YTD Logistics and 3PL companies are the tenant type who have the strongest demand Total vacancy for space in the market, with this quarter being no exception. Take the 950,000- square foot building at 9501 Highway 50, Vaughan that came to market in Q1 of this 4.5% 4.0% year as an illustration. It is already fully leased to two logistics companies: DHL, 3.5% 3.0% 2.8% who took 570,000 square feet, and XPO logistics, who took 380,000 square feet. 2.5% 2.1% 2.1% The market continued to experience strong preleasing activity again this quarter, signaling that companies are eager to secure blocks of space and lock in their lease 1.5% rates. Notably, Sobeys pre-leased 383,194 square feet at 100 Gibraltar Road, 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 YTD Vaughan, with the building expected to be complete next quarter. Average asking rents ($/s.f.) Outlook Tenants looking for smaller blocks of space (in the range of 20,000 to 60,000 square $7.00 feet) will experience the largest jump in their average asking net rents moving $6.50 forward. Why? For this size range, the availability rate is 1.5 percent and there is $6.00 limited small bay space under construction and set for completion. Because of the high cost to construct small bay multi-tenanted buildings, developers expect that $5.50 they would need to achieve $8.00 per square foot to make their proformas’ $5.00 palatable. 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 YTD For more information, contact: John Scioli | John.Scioili@am.jll.com © 2018 Jones Lang LaSalle IP, Inc.
