08 Q3 2023 DFW INDUSTRIAL MARKET REPORT

HLC OUTLOOK Coming out of the summer months, the DFW industrial market experienced continued (but measured) growth and activity during the third quarter of 2023. Tenant demand for industrial space remained steady, fueled by the region’s strong economy and favorable business climate. Q3 2023 marked the 52nd consecutive quarter of positive net absorption (more than 12 years). The market posted 6.6M SF of positive net absorption in Q3, and totals more than 23M SF positive net absorption YTD. The DFW industrial market is still on pace to outperform the average historical annual absorption figures. Q3 2023 reported 16M SF of new product delivered. Consequently, the overall DFW vacancy rate increased to 7.9%. Going forward, new construction starts will continue to taper as the capital markets settle toward a new equilibrium. Under construction figures are down from a Q4 2022 historical high of 80M SF to 51.7M SF reported in Q3 2023. Leasing activity indicated a “summer slowdown” at 13M SF reported for Q3 versus 19.8M SF and 15.8M SF respectively for Q1 and Q2. Rental rates are continuing to rise especially in the “Infill” submarkets. Furthermore, with less than 30% of new construction located within the “Infill” submarkets, we expect the substantial rent growth within the city’s core to continue. As we enter the final quarter of 2023, we expect the overall industrial market to remain relatively stable. E-commerce, logistics, and distribution companies continue to be among the key drivers of absorption, as the region’s strategic location and excellent transportation infrastructure attract businesses. We also expect DFW to outperform other parts of the country as it continues to be the biggest benefactor of large-scale relocation efforts and population growth.

MARKET OBSERVATIONS •

With the recent changes in the debt markets, the development wave has slowed down. Continued tenant demand has helped counter this by giving developers confidence in increased rental rates. Fundamentals of what makes DFW appealing are unchanged. Population growth, lower cost of living, pro-business environment, central location and connectivity will continue to be attractive to businesses and capital markets.

If the market experiences a downturn, we expect concessions to become more favorable for tenants.

10 Q3 2023 DFW INDUSTRIAL MARKET REPORT

SUBMARKET INTELLIGENCE

GSW/ARLINGTON

CURRENT EVENTS The Great Southwest (GSW) industrial submarket ended Q3 2023 with a slight decline in performance. However, the submarket as a whole remains in a relatively stable position. Per CoStar reporting in Q3, GSW reported negative net absorption of (363,067) SF. This is primarily due to the delivery of 67,921 SF of new construction in Q3 and 1.2M SF of deliveries YTD. At Q3 2023, GSW reported a total of 2.9M SF of new projects currently under construction. Despite the Q3 negative absorption, the GSW Q3 vacancy rate was 5.0%, increasing 0.4% from the Q2 reported vacancy rate of 4.6%. This ranks GSW second among the major submarkets with the lowest vacancy rates (behind only Northeast Dallas). Projecting forward to the remainder of 2023, we expect the GSW market to remain one of the top-performing submarkets with continued rent growth, as tenant demand remains strong across the DFW market. Additionally, GSW remains one of the tightest submarkets for bulk spaces above 200K SF.

The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Airport industrial submarket finished Q3 2023 with a 6.5% vacancy rate. That is a slight uptick compared to the 5.0% vacancy rate at the end of the Q1, due to recently delivered product at Passport Park and Highway 121 which will likely be leased prior to the end of the year. The sweet spot size range remains in the 200K - 500K SF size range as there are only two options readily available in that size today. Expect rates to continue to rise as Passport Park and Highway 121 become fully built out with minimal options available. The bulk of warehouse rental rates are increasing into the $7.75 - $8.50 range, dependent on building age. In the 50K to 100K SF range, for functional shallow bay product, we are seeing rates from $10.50 to $12.50 depending on the age and functionality. Rental abatements are still prevalent depending on renewal versus new deals and the size of the lease transaction. Tenant improvement costs remained high because of increasing construction costs. DFW International Airport is ranked as one of the largest cargo airports in the country. It boasts a high proportion of newer buildings since 2000 and, as a result, the submarket has a high concentration of efficient product with clear heights and dock configurations suitable for modern distribution. The submarket consists of large big-box users including Amazon, Uline, PPG, Bed Bath & Beyond, McKesson and many others.

12 Q3 2023 DFW INDUSTRIAL MARKET REPORT

SUBMARKET INTELLIGENCE

EAST DALLAS

CURRENT EVENTS The overall East Dallas submarket ended Q3 with a vacancy rate of 11.2% which puts it as the second highest behind South Dallas. With strong absorption numbers this quarter, the vacancy rate is moving back in the right direction and we expect this trend to continue as time goes on. It is also important to understand that it consists of three distinctly different micro-markets. Central East Dallas, East Dallas/Mesquite and Forney/Terrell each tell a different story so the data must be examined closely. Central East Dallas includes primarily older buildings on the outskirts of Dallas’ CBD. It should also be noted that the overall availability rate for this micro-market is only 5.1% currently. The broader view by those focused on institutional-grade industrial projects should not be influenced too heavily by this micro-market. Much of it has been previously redeveloped or is planning to be redeveloped as opposed to new industrial development. Crow Holdings does have a proposed project on the far east side of this pocket which will compete more with the East Dallas/Mesquite submarket. East Dallas/Mesquite continues to be the backbone of the overall East Dallas submarket. While reporting a micro market vacancy rate of 7.9%, there are roughly 400K SF of leases that have yet to be accounted for in absorption/ vacancy numbers with another 600K SF coming right behind it. We expect the tenant demand to keep up with construction numbers within the East Dallas/Mesquite micro market and vacancy rates to start moving in the right direction. Forney/Terrell is still the main point of conversation within the East Dallas submarket due largely due to the amount of spec development that is underway. The Forney/ Terrell micro market has a vacancy rate of 12.4% and is comprised mostly of Exeter’s two 500K SF buildings and the Cart.com sublease. With Hayes Retail being the only tenant to lease a building on a spec basis, everyone awaits to see who will take the next big bite. All in all, as large vacancies in Mesquite continue to get absorbed, bulk users will be forced to look further east which leaves Forney in a great spot to take on the next big wave of leasing activity.

Northeast Dallas consists of three primary areas that are unique in their tenant base, maturity and overall landscape. It is important to examine each micro-market separately as it is rare to see tenants consider space from one to the next. NE Dallas/Garland, Plano/Richardson, and Allen/McKinney/Frisco as a whole reported the lowest vacancy rates in the overall market and are well-positioned for the future. NE Dallas/Garland is the oldest and most mature micro-market consisting of supply chain companies as well as manufacturing. Posting a 4.9% vacancy rate is proof of the pressure that exists for tenants to find space here. The last few sites are currently under construction and the focus has shifted to covered land plays and redevelopment. With close proximity to the core population of DFW, rental rate growth is still expected here as it has not quite reached the marks of other comparable submarkets such as Valwood and South Stemmons. Plano/Richardson has certainly continued to experience an identity shift as it no longer relies solely on the tech industry. As DFW has grown, this area has transformed and attracted a more diverse tenant base focused on fulfilling supply chain needs while still remaining attractive to tech companies because of the proximity to skilled labor. A 5.5% vacancy rate consists primarily of specialized flex space and the majority of leasing activity is focused on the few new developments in the area. Allen/McKinney/Frisco is the newest micromarket and is seeing the most development activity due to the availability of land. With 2.0M SF under construction from Frisco to McKinney, development is slightly outpacing demand, however with recent leasing activity we expect these new developments to lease up at a steady pace as they begin to deliver.

SUBMARKET INTELLIGENCE

NORTHWEST DALLAS

CURRENT EVENTS Through Q3 2023, the Northwest Dallas industrial submarket continues to be one of the strongest-performing submarkets in DFW. Valwood is a haven for building supply companies as well as 3PL’s with direct access to I-35. Billingsley, Longpoint, Panattoni, and TA Realty have leased their recent developments in Valwood. The Metropolitan/Addison submarket is extremely tight from a vacancy standpoint as there are no more available sites for development. Lastly, as developers move north to track down sites in Denton and Sanger, Highway 121 is now centrally located in the DFW market and an extremely desirable location for users. The Northwest Dallas submarket finished Q3 with a 7.1% vacancy rate which is higher than last quarter due to recent spaces more than 100K SF coming available in Valwood. The vacancy rate will decrease when the big blocks of space become leased from which we expect down time to be minimal.

LARGE EXISTING VACANCIES

The overall South Dallas Industrial submarket, as surveyed, encompasses I-30 west of downtown, I-20, & I-45, and is approximately 176M SF. In accordance with the area surveyed, CoStar is reporting positive Net Absorption of 3,303,992 SF for South Dallas in Q3 2023. Regardless of the positive Leasing Activity, this combined sector of the industrial market is now 13.1% vacant, which is 0.7% higher than previously reported in Q2 2023. This is primarily due to deliveries outpacing leasing activity. In Q3, South Dallas delivered another 6.3M SF and still has 9M SF remaining under construction in the I-30, I-20, & I-45 corridors. Notwithstanding the rising vacancy rate in this submarket, South Dallas has YTD Net Absorption of 9,862,844 SF which represents 42.61% of the 23,142,691 SF overall YTD Net Absorption in the DFW Industrial Market. Various developers continue to hold land positions in this submarket for future development. During 2020, 2021, and 2022, the South Dallas submarket of I-30, I-20 and I-45 enjoyed an average single digit vacancy rate of 5.98%. Nonetheless, the rapid pace of an abundance of construction projects and deliveries has flooded this submarket with inventory in 2023. Deliveries have outpaced tenant demand in the changing macro-economic environment hence washing away the previous single digit vacancy along I-20 and I-45. Please note: CoStar’s South Dallas boundaries do not include the west Dallas I-30 corridor. As such, their data in the charts will vary.

SOUTH STEMMONS

CURRENT EVENTS The outlook for South Stemmons remains positive as we head into 4Q 2023. Per Costar reporting, leasing activity was a positive 655,113 SF, while absorption was down (559,186 SF). South Stemmons ended the quarter with 6.1% vacancy, which ranks it one of the 3rd tightest submarkets within the DFW metroplex. Rental rates and price per SF continue to rise due to the low vacancy and the submarket’s infill location. South Stemmons, historically known as a user-owned market, has become primarily institutionally owned, which in turn has improved the tenant offerings in the market and helped drive rental rate increases. For tenants looking in the market, location has continued to outweigh functionality due to the close proximity to Dallas CBD, the Medical District, and immediate access to thriving Dallas suburbs.

LARGE EXISTING VACANCIES

North Fort Worth continues to perform as a top DFW submarket through the end of Q3 posting yet another quarter of more than 2M SF of positive absorption. This now marks the fifth consecutive quarter of 2M SF or greater absorption for the submarket. Submarket vacancy has increased to double digits (10.2%) for the first time since Q2 2021 which was a consequence of 9M SF being delivered in Q2 & Q3. Nevertheless, the outlook through year’s end should continue to be positive as overall leasing activity remains as strong as ever. Couple the existing leasing activity with the relatively low number of new deliveries slated for Q4 2023, the lack of new construction starts throughout 2023 and the lack of sublease square footage that has hit the submarket - North Fort Worth is positioned well to dramatically lower the vacancy rate, while sustaining rent growth to finish the year strong.

**HLC submarket absorption stats are recorded in real time and do not align with Costar quarterly stats, as Costar is, in some instances 60-90 days behind real time transactions.

18 Q3 2023 DFW INDUSTRIAL MARKET REPORT

SUBMARKET INTELLIGENCE

SOUTH FORT WORTH

CURRENT EVENTS The South Fort Worth industrial submarket continues to have strong leasing activity across all product types. Vacancy rates have stayed between 5% and 6% for the past four quarters with approximately 2.55M SF delivering during that time period. A trend that kept up in Q3 2023 with no new deliveries and ~748K SF in absorption. We expect to see this streak snap in Q4 of this year with 2.4M SF slated to deliver and approximately only ~1.54M SF of active deals tracking. However, we believe the vacancy rate will ultimately drop in the second half of 2024 given the slowdown in speculative development. Only two projects totaling 381K SF have announced Q4 2023 groundbreaks. Specifically, this pipeline consists of the Falcon Development single 237K SF rear-load dubbed “Oak Creek Distribution” and Empire Equities four (4) building 144K SF single tenant grade level concept at Campus Park.

**HLC submarket absorption stats are recorded in real time and do not align with Costar quarterly stats, as Costar is, in some instances, 60-90 days behind real time transactions.
