Industrial Property
A lot has been written lately about upgrader demand for industrial property across Australia’s major markets i.e., tenants moving into newer, more efficient premises when their current leases expire. Indeed, amongst the eastern seaboard industrial property markets, the strength of demand for prime properties has outstripped supply, driving total market vacancy rates down to extremely low levels, fuelling rapid rises in rents. By way of example, with market vacancy rates now under 0.5%, average prime net stated rents in Sydney’s Outer West have risen by more than 60% over the last two years.
