 The Las Vegas industrial market has bent, but not broken. A glut of supply should continue to put upward pressure on vacancy and availability in the near term. Even with the recent rebound in leasing volume, it is unlikely to prevent a further rise in the vacancy rate, which sits at 3.1%. While this number is low by historical standards, it is above the trough if 1.9% set in 22Q3. The availability rate has increased at an even faster pace in that time, soaring from 5.1% to 8.7%.

 The Las Vegas office market is beginning to show signs of weakness, albeit later than many major metros. After a run of seven quarters of robust absorption, the vacancy

rate jumped by roughly 200 basis points from 22Q4- 23Q2 as Las Vegas recorded its first back-to-back quarters of negative absorption since 2020-21. The market is still relatively stable as the current vacancy rate

of 10.5% is below the historical average of 13.6%.

have also performed well. The vacancy rate has ticked up slightly in the past year, but at 5.4%, remains near a 15-year low. The single-tenant vacancy rate is structurally lower and typically sits 300-400 basis points below multi-tenant vacancies. On the other hand, the single-tenant vacancy rate has risen from 2.3% in 22Q2 to 3.2%, while multi-tenant buildings have remained relatively flat during that period.
