•
As of mid-year 2011, the Northwest Atlanta industrial submarket has the third highest amount of position absorption in Atlanta.
•
Although the submarket’s second quarter absorption activity was mediocre, leasing has since picked up a bit; mostly for deals less than 100,000 SF. Going forward, the status quo is expected to remain. Marketwide demand for space is modest and mostly going towards Atlanta’s larger industrial submarkets.
•
The vacancy rate for Northwest Atlanta remained unchanged between quarters, but is down 1.2% from this time last year.
•
Northwest Atlanta should finish the year in positive territory; however, until market conditions improve, the submarket is likely to see activity fluctuate quarter-to-quarter.
