In case you missed it: Newmark-Alterra report on IOS

QUICK HIGHLIGHTS

• Large Footprint, Yet Limited Supply: With use cases from high-flow logistics and asset-intensive yard and storage to intermodal and port related land, IOS spans an estimated 1.4 million acres in the U.S. Yet, well-located sites remain scarce due to zoning.​

• Strong Rent Growth: IOS rents increased 123% since 2020, more than twice the rate of bulk warehouses. Phoenix, Memphis and Atlanta top the IOS rent growth list.​

• Low Vacancy: Minimal purpose-built development and a diverse, evolving tenant base keep IOS vacancy rates low—about half that of bulk warehouses.​ IOS vacancy held steady under 5% since 2019.

• Comparable Pricing: In some markets, IOS delivers rents similar to bulk warehouses when normalized per acre. This reflects strong demand for a finite supply, softening bulk warehouse fundamentals that narrow the rent gap and inconsistent IOS pricing strategies due to still-limited institutionalization.​

• Market Breakdown: The report covers stats on 15 major logistics markets. See how rents and occupancies compare and contrast. Hint: Phoenix is looking pretty good.
