In the Greater Philadelphia industrial market, 5.6 million s/f of new industrial product delivered, the largest quarterly addition to the inventory in the 21st century to date. In the I-81/78 Corridor industrial market, the fourth quarter of 2019 had numerous large occupancies of recently-delivered speculative and build-to-suit warehouses, including DHL’s arrival at the 1.0 million s/f warehouse located at 84 Zions View Dr. This marked the region’s most significant fourth-quarter occupancy.
