The Inland Empire (IE) is one of the top industrial real estate markets in the U.S. With 22 million people living within 100 miles of the IE, demand for warehouse space as well as entitled land remains high for industrial real estate in the region. Positioned close to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the inflow of goods directly feeds the big-box distribution warehouses in the region, and across the country. Large parcels of land remain scarce, causing developers to expand into the IE East and IE North. Combined with the strong demand for retail space in the IE due to increasing employment rates and the insatiable demand for goods from the affluent consumer base of Southern California, vacancies are at an all-time low, while taking rents and new construction continue to hit historic highs.
