Q2 2020 Market Overview – Industrial Market Continues in the Lead Amidst Covid-19 Pandemic
The pandemic of COVID-19 threw a curveball and caused a global economic downturn as job losses and business shutdown numbers increased. As Colorado’s stay-at-home orders lift slowly for businesses, one determining factor of a return will be on the reclamation of jobs this quarter. The surprising May increase in employment (30,000 new jobs) could bode well for Denver, which outperformed the national benchmark the month prior.
The Industrial Market
As predicted in Q1, the pandemic shutdowns have had less of a negative impact on the IM than in the Retail or Office markets. Most tenants in industrial operations are considered essential and did not undergo mandatory shutdowns. Third Party Logistics and e-commerce tenants have had an increase in activity as consumers frequently ordered from home during the pandemic. Locally, Amazon leased 700,000 SF in Aurora in mid-March as part of its plan to hire an additional 175,000 workers from here and across the country.
