San Joaquin County Submarkets
The only industrial developments under construction in San Joaquin County in the second quarter of 2024 are a central industrial center and one build-to-suit property totaling 2.6 million square feet, according to Colliers. Deliveries reached 1.5 million square feet in the first six months of this year.
The overall vacancy rate in San Joaquin County rose 10 basis points from the same quarter to 7.4%, Colliers reported. However, in the Stockton submarket, interest rates fell 10 basis points to 9.1 percent in the second quarter. Tenant concessions are increasing year on year as more landlords are “getting creative to attract deals.”
In Stockton, one notable transaction was the acquisition of Stockton Commerce Center, a fully leased 655,976 square foot warehouse and distribution facility. The property changed hands for nearly $72 million.
