CHICAGO—Jack Fraker, CBRE‘s managing director of the company’s Capital Markets Industrial Practice, recently told GlobeSt.com that demand for industrial commercial real estate has far outstripped the supply. “It’s something like a 4:1 or 5:1 imbalance. A lot of capital wants to be in real estate, but there aren’t a lot of available deals on the market. The competition is resulting in a downward pressure on cap rates.”   

Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust, Inc., for example, just completed the acquisition of the 442,000-square-feet Joliet Distribution Center, a warehouse property at 3300-3500 Corporate Dr. in Joliet. The purchase price was approximately $21 million, company officials say. They estimate that, based on the purchase price, the property has a capitalization rate of approximately 6.3%. The center operates under a net-lease and two tenants occupy 100% of the space with a weighted average remaining lease of approximately six years.
