In this episode of the Industrial Advisors Podcast, hosts Bill Condon and Matt McGregor discuss the concerning uptick in subleases within the Puget Sound market, rising from 800,000 to 4.6 million square feet in just over two years. The hosts examine how the influx of subleases, particularly those above 100,000 square feet, is problematic for market stability and rental rates. They note that this trend is exacerbated by the increased availability of high-quality sublease spaces and the role of 3PLs (third-party logistics providers) in the market. The episode concludes with a discussion on potential future market corrections and the importance of monitoring the subleasing landscape.
