ATLANTA, GA—Since the close of 2017, Atlanta's economy and commercial real estate market has outperformed the nation. In the second quarter of 2018, large amounts of construction have hit the pipeline with 1.7 million-square-feet of office space and 14.4 million square feet of industrial space expected to be delivered by 2019. Rental rates have also continued to rise in nearly every submarket due to strong demand caused by this limited supply. But what indicators are causing Atlanta's surge in demand and what can we expect for the rest of 2018 and into 2019?
Transwestern's Southeast president, Bruce Ford, says five key indicators can predict what Atlanta's metro can expect for the second half of the year. His decades of experience provide first-hand insight on each sector impacted by this rapid growth.
