BY THE NUMBERS
CHICAGO—The Chicago industrial market continued to witness tremendous growth in construction volume, according to Avison Young's latest report. Developers delivered 6.1 million square feet during the third quarter and have an additional 18.5 million square feet under construction, an increase of 52.7% and 46.4% year-over-year, respectively. A slight majority of the space under construction is for speculative projects, which the company says “is a strong indicator of developer/investor faith in the market.” The I-80 East Corridor, I-55 Corridor and the Southern WI submarkets continue to record the most product under construction, with a combined 11.8 million square feet.
