Philadelphia Leads Pennsylvania in Industrial Construction

Philadelphia Leads Pennsylvania in Industrial Construction

Demand has surged in Pennsylvania’s top industrial markets, leading to a wave of new development. Last year saw a record number of completions, adding over 110 million square feet of industrial space in the past four years across Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley, the I-81 Corridor, Harrisburg, and York.

Philadelphia, the ninth largest U.S. industrial market, experienced the most significant growth, with over 250 new buildings totaling 63 million square feet. After accounting for 14.2 million square feet of demolitions, Philadelphia’s net inventory gain since Q1 2020 is 48.8 million square feet, an 8.5% increase. Half of this new space is concentrated in Burlington, Gloucester, Camden, and Salem counties in southern New Jersey, where supply-driven vacancy rates have been rising.
