Atlanta Industrial Market Report

Long-term demand drivers underpin resilience amid current oversupply. The Atlanta metro continues to strengthen its position as the Southeast’s primary distribution hub, with a growing specialization in logistics and warehousing that supports local industrial demand. Recent additions include major facilities for Southwire, Post Consumer Brands and GreenBox Systems. Despite evolving trade policies, port activity at Charleston and Savannah has stayed relatively stable, ensuring a steady flow of goods into the region and contributing to a generally positive demand outlook. Nevertheless, elevated construction from recent years weighs on fundamentals. Jefferson and Gainesville led the metro in inventory growth year over year in March, producing the highest local vacancy rates. Metrowide, net absorption is expected to remain at a fraction of deliveries this year, pushing vacancy rates higher.
