> FORECAST: Rents will continue to rise in future quarters but increases will not be uniform. The discrepancy between rents in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties will likely increase in future quarters as asking rents are rising faster in Los Angeles County compared to Ventura County. Tenants who signed leases 5 years ago can expect their rent to increase a minimum of 25% upon renewal.

Outlook > Flat market conditions are expected to persist in the San Fernando Valley industrial marketplace with slight upticks in rents continuing in future quarters. We are likely to see investment remaining active as a lack of available product in nearby markets is driving up sales prices throughout the Los Angeles Basin. For industrial users looking to find the ideal space to meet their needs, they will likely have to expand their industrial footprint by taking additional space in soon to be constructed speculative buildings or in build to suit projects as quality space remains hard to find in this market.
