BUILDING AN INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH FOUNDATION

Strong communities need more than retail and residential

Increased activity in the industrial market has spurred conversations about the benefits of a strong industrial base not only for individual communities, but also for the metropolitan area as a whole.

Our Perspective

Twin Cities Office, Industrial Markets Poised for More Rental Rate Growth, Provided the Economy Plays Along
Twin Cities office and industrial property landlords are in a position to raise rental rates at an accelerated pace over the next six to 12 months, with higher-quality Class A office properties and office-showroom industrial properties leading the way. New demand for space, supported by continuing economic growth, will quicken the pace of rental rate increases. New construction activity is also impacting rental rates: in addition to higher land costs, construction costs are 25-30% higher than a decade ago, and the new properties coming to market are priced accordingly.
