Growth of the Phoenix industrial market will continue to surge despite inflation and an expected national slowdown in consumer demand, experts say.

The Phoenix metro is currently one of only five markets across the country that has more than 30 million square feet of industrial space under development, driven in large part by available and affordable land, proximity to ports and the available workforce in Arizona, which is a right-to-work state.

“Companies from California want to be here. We’ve got a huge demand from the East Coast or the Southwest or Midwest who want to be on the west and western exposure, but for whatever reason they don’t want to be in California,” said Rob Stephens, a managing director for Newmark. “We [also] have a very healthy vacancy.”

The Valley had about 35 million square feet of space under construction, as well as a 4.6% vacancy, in the second quarter. According to Avison Young data, the Phoenix metro had about 119 ongoing industrial or flex properties under construction at the end of the second quarter.

The region also has the third largest pipeline for industrial development in the U.S., according to Newmark Group Inc.’s industrial report for Phoenix.

While interest from manufacturers such as semiconductor and electric vehicle supply chains has significantly increased in recent years, Stephens said the greater Phoenix region has seen the “biggest growth” of e-commerce companies in the country.

“Our proximity to the port is huge, plus, we can take care of 35 million people in a day’s truck drive, and we can hit major cities, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Austin,” he added. “We have the product, we have the availability.”

The other top markets include Dallas, the Inland Empire, Chicago and Pennsylvania’s Interstate 81/I-78 corridor — altogether, the five markets make up about a third of industrial space under construction in the U.S., according to Newmark’s report.

Slowdown could be on its way

With record amounts of space under construction that’s set to deliver in the next year or two, experts warn that vacancies will start to increase as consumer demand returns to pre-pandemic levels.

“A lot of the retailers have full warehouses of product that aren’t necessarily in high demand anymore, but they still have other products coming over for, at this point, the Christmas season that they need to store,” Rich Lachowsky, a research director for Newmark, said. “They’re going to be increasingly turning to 3PLs to help solve those space issues and also discounting what they do have.”

In the second quarter, demand in Phoenix was mostly driven by the construction, machinery and materials industries due to the local housing market, which is vastly undersupplied, experts said. But moving forward, demand will most likely be driven by third-party logistics companies, Lachowsky said.

Ongoing supply chain, inflation and labor issues are also impacting timely deliveries for industrial buildings across the U.S. According to real estate firm Avison Young, construction starts appeared to have peaked in the first quarter of this year with about 12.7 million square feet, adding that the amount of ongoing construction activity will likely decline in the later half of the year.

Phoenix market still has momentum

News of some of the biggest consumers of warehouse space such as Amazon.com Inc. pulling back on its warehouse pipeline and Walmart Inc. marking down its inventory due to inflation could also impact how much warehouse space these types of companies need moving forward.

Despite a potential cool-off in the national warehouse market looming, experts say Phoenix will continue to attract industrial development and users. Companies are also looking to build or lease new, modern facilities due to trending requirements such as updated clear heights, cross-dock loading and dock doors.

“Phoenix’s future is really bright just because of the population growth, the availability of warehouse space,” Lachowsky said. “They’re somewhat close to the Texas markets and that’s a really strong growth market as well. We’re seeing a lot more interest in near-shoring and the Mexican markets, and Phoenix is well positioned to handle a lot of the traffic as well.”

To keep up with and support the ongoing growth, regional leaders say the potential extension of Maricopa County’s transportation tax, which was vetoed by Gov. Doug Ducey in July, is vital for current and future repairs and construction of regional transportation. As land in the Phoenix metro increases in price and is bought out, more developers and companies are also looking to Pinal County cities such as Casa Grande and Maricopa for industrial projects.
