Baltimore I-95 South

Industrial Market Review Second Quarter 2012


Baltimore Metropolitan Overview The Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area has emerged as one of the strongest second-tier markets in the United States. While Baltimore is a stand-alone metropolitan statistical area (MSA) with over 2.7 million residents, it is also part of the Washington-Baltimore consolidated statistical area (CSA) with a total population over 8 million. The Greater Baltimore region comprises Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Harford, and Howard Counties as well as Baltimore City. As of May 2012, the Baltimore metropolitan areas unemployment rate was 7.1% compared to the national unemployment rate of 8.2% in the same month. Baltimore I-95 South Industrial Market The I-95 South Industrial market experienced 527,869 square feet of positive absorption in the second quarter of 2012. The vacancy rate fell from 14.21% to 13.75%. The Corridor experienced the highest level of demand within the I-95 South market with more than 320,000 square feet of absorption. The average asking rent within the market remained flat in the second quarter at $5.14 per square foot. The Southeast submarket was the exception as the average rent increased from $5.02 to $5.28 per square foot. Both the Corridor and Southwest submarkets saw a slight decrease in average rent.

Current Market Trends Rental Rates Rental Rates have leveled out. Despite consistent market absorption, future leasing activity remains a concern for landlords. Overall leasing activity is down from Q1 2012. Despite the fact that the market experienced positive absorption, new activity began to lag as summer approached. Although down from the peaks of 2009/2010, free rent and tenant improvement dollars remain steady as landlords look to maintain face rents.
