A new report says the Bridgeport area has reclaimed its position as the tightest industrial market nation-wide.
CommercialEdge, a part of Yardi Matrix, said the area had an industrial vacancy rate of just 3.8 percent in September.
The average per-square-foot rent for leases signed last month was $9.35, the company said, and $13.73 for the last 12 months.
That’s comparable to the rest of Connecticut’s market in the second quarter, according to Cushman & Wakefield research. The brokerage reported the Central Connecticut market had a 3.8 percent vacancy rate as of June, with the overall net rent sitting at $7.48 per square foot.
Brokerage Newmark reported the direct asking rent in Fairfield County was $12.77 per square foot in the second quarter, with over 96,000 square feet of positive absorption in the first half of the year.
Neither brokerage has yet released third-quarter research covering Connecticut.
