Report: Rising Vacancies, Flexible Lease Negotiations Mark Second Quarter of 2024 Trends in Portland’s Industrial Market
The industrial real estate market in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metropolitan statistical area has demonstrated notable trends and shifts over the past year, according to a recent Kidder Mathews Portland Industrial Market Report for the second quarter of 2024. Despite the stability in average asking lease rates, which remained constant at $0.88 per square foot year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, net effective rates have declined due to increased tenant improvement allowances and free rent incentives. Kidder Mathews believes that this is an indication that while landlords are maintaining asking rates, they are more flexible in negotiations to attract and retain tenants.

The cooldown has arrived! Nice weather this week
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - We had a little bit of excitement this morning with the scattered thunderstorms! Maybe you heard the rumbles of thunder overnight. These isolated storms did drop small amounts of rain for us west of the Cascades (less than a tenth of an inch everywhere) and produced lightning- mostly over the ocean and Coast Range. We did get some around the Portland metro area, though! The show was over for us by midday, and now the flashes of lightning are trekking northward across central and eastern Oregon. Fingers crossed those don’t result in any new fire starts.

Duck, Duck, Books: Duck Bookmarks and Bookends for a Bit of Whimsy
Let me tell you all about The Duckening, an ongoing bit of mischief on the part of two colleagues here in the Portland office.
