Undeveloped land parcels continue to be a scarce find in the Southland, as the steady stream of new construction here has left a shortage of buildable lots. According to a report by real estate research firm PPR, Southern California's construction pipeline has remained fairly steady over the past two years. In the office sector for example, there was a high of 2.4 million sf of construction starts in March 2001. Although this figure dipped to 1.2 million sf in March 2002, it was far above Northern California, which only had approximately 500,000 sf of office construction starts for the same month.
