Car makers add jobs and spend more on expansion

2013-05-23T08:29:00.001-04:00

According to this article, the auto industry is picking up. Do you think expansion in the industry will lead to a notable amount of absorption in the industrial real estate market or will most of the expansion be accounted for by build-to-suits?

Manufacturing Is Going (to New) Places: And What That Means About Jobs

2013-05-21T10:15:00.001-04:00

This is a good article about changes we are seeing in the manufacturing industry. It brings up the point that because of innovations, success and growth in the manufacturing industry can no longer be measured or indicated by a growing number of manufacturing jobs. A question the author poses is whether we should be unhappy that we are losing assembly line-type jobs or be happy with companies being able to keep higher-skilled jobs on our soil and have products that read "Made in America." What do you think?

New plants in NW Georgia to bring a total of 2,600 jobs

2013-05-13T08:10:00.000-04:00

Mattex, a carpet backing and textile company, has announced they will be building a new plant in northwest Georgia that will employ 200 people. This came about a week after Engineered Floors announced plans to open two new carpet plants that are expected to employ 2,400 people in the same area. This is all great news for northwest

Georgia

and it looks like the flooring industry there will continue on it's path of revitalization. A link to the AJC's article regarding the Mattex plant is here.

Incentives offered by the Department of Economic Development are discussed in a related article. It is said that Engineered Floors could receive over $100 million in state incentives with the opening of it's two new plants. A link to that article is here.

Both of these projects will be build-to-suit constructions, which can make activity appear to be improving. As we have seen in the recent past, this does not usually translate to a notable impact in net absorption. However, these projects are likely to create a need for additional suppliers and distributors. Then, maybe we will make a dent in our high availability rates. How big of an impact do you think these two projects will have on the Metro Atlanta industrial real estate market?

Availability rate in Atlanta’s industrial market still high, but continues to decline

2013-05-07T14:31:00.002-04:00

The Metro Atlanta industrial real estate market still has a long way to go on the road to recovery, but availability rates do seem to be making a slow and steady improvement. In the first quarter of 2011 we recorded an availability rate of 21.2%, which was a record high for Atlanta’s industrial market. The first quarter of 2013 showed an availability rate of 18.6%. As Sim Doughtie says in our latest Point of View, “This marks the eight consecutive quarter of reduced availability – further testimony that we are moving in the right direction.”

Total amount of square feet available for new and used space at the end of the first quarter this year came to a little over 110,000,000. This is still a long way from the lower figures we were seeing in 2008 and earlier, which were around only 80,000,000 square feet. Hopefully we continue to see declining rates of availability in months to come.

Net Absorption in the 1st Quarter of 2013 Continues Positive Trend!

2013-05-01T10:10:00.002-04:00

It’s been great to hear that the Metro Atlanta industrial real estate market has continued it’s slow but steady recovery into the first quarter of 2013. I think most people were fairly pleased with absorption and activity figures for the end of 2012, however, it seemed like there was still a great deal of skepticism as to whether or not the positive trend would continue into 2013. Now it’s looking like we can let our hopes get a little higher and be more optimistic about seeing a full recovery!

Total net absorption in the Atlanta industrial real estate market was 672,123 square feet in the first quarter. The three hottest markets for absorption and their share of the total market figure for absorption are as follows:

I-20 West/Fulton Industrial = 40.7%

I-85/985/316 = 16.7%
Northwest = 14.1%
*Also worth noting was the I-85 Northeast market with 13.2% of total absorption.

Sim Doughtie states in our latest quarterly Point of View, “We have turned the corner on the worst market we have ever experienced in the Atlanta industrial arena.” How confident do you feel that the positive trend we are seeing now will continue?

We Have Arrived!

2013-04-23T10:19:00.000-04:00

Last quarter the question was asked, "Are we there yet?" This quarter the answer to the question is "It appears we have arrived!" The fourth quarter of 2012 produced the strongest activity and highest positive net absorption since 2007 and gave us hope we have finally begun to recover.
The first quarter of 2013 has continued that positive trend.

Have you heard about King Industrial Realty’s Grey Market Program?

2013-03-25T11:40:00.000-04:00

King tracks over 650 million square feet of space in the Atlanta Industrial Real Estate market using PinPoint, our proprietary database. When a client is looking to purchase or lease a property, PinPoint allows us to show them all possible options.

Our grey market program closes the gap between potential availability and actual availability by targeting specific projects to determine if a potential availability exists. It is a proven technique that has been used repeatedly by King agents. With the client’s input, we are able to take the following information and steps to find the building or space that best suits the client’s needs.

Criteria: Clients specify or target potential locations of interest, provide agent with their needs such as total square footage, ceiling height, rail, outside storage, etc.

Identify Target: Utilizing PinPoint, we can identify potential buildings or spaces that are currently occupied or used that closely match our client’s established criteria.

Marketing: King agents know who to contact and are able send out notice of a client’s potential need very quickly and efficiently because of all the information tracked through PinPoint.
