By Ron Anderson | Vice President of Research & Information Technology
Market Highlights
Unprecedented demand forced the Greenville-Spartanburg industrial market into hyperactivity over the last two years with developers racing to deliver buildings fast enough to keep pace with demand. The market began a rebalancing cycle this quarter that brought construction back into equilibrium. During the fourth quarter, 951,147 square feet delivered with a rare net negative absorption of 162,961 square feet primarily due to multiple fourth quarter tenant occupancy dates being pushed to 2023.
