Industrial Vacancy Rates in Greater Boston Hit New Heights
February 11, 2025 - 22:16
BOSTON–Vacancies in the Greater Boston industrial sector have surged to a record high of 12% as of early 2024, marking an increase of approximately 2.6 percentage points compared to the end of 2023. This rise in vacancies reflects ongoing shifts in the market as businesses reassess their space needs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The increase in industrial vacancies is attributed to a combination of factors, including changes in consumer behavior, supply chain adjustments, and the overall economic landscape. As companies adapt to new operational strategies, many are finding themselves with excess space that is now available for lease.
Despite the challenges posed by rising vacancy rates, industry experts suggest that this could present opportunities for businesses looking for competitive leasing options. The Greater Boston area remains a key hub for logistics and distribution, and while the current vacancy rates are concerning, there is potential for recovery as the market stabilizes.
