Philadelphia’s Industrial Market Sees Sharp Pullback

Demand for Philadelphia industrial space stumbles to a 10-year low

Philadelphia’s industrial real estate sector is facing one of its steepest slowdowns in over a decade, with demand hitting multi-year lows. Uncertainty surrounding trade policies announced earlier this year has led many logistics and manufacturing firms to delay expansion plans and reassess supply chain strategies.

By the close of the third quarter, industrial absorption had dropped to -213,000 square feet—well below the three-year average of 5.1 million square feet per quarter. At the same time, 12.9 million square feet of new space was delivered to the market, pushing vacancy up to 9%, a 1.8% increase compared to the prior year.
