Bulk occupancies are rising, but smaller lease sizes are becoming the norm. ? The Southeast led growth, with occupancies up 16% to 63 million square feet. ? The West region saw the most activity, with 95 million square feet occupied. ? Spaces under 500,000 square feet gained traction, while 750,000 SF+ occupancies dropped 26%. ? 3PL, trucking, and transportation firms dominated, accounting for 33% of bulk occupancies.

With construction activity returning to pre-pandemic norms, vacancy rates hit 6.8% and are expected to peak at around 7% before declining. What does this mean for occupiers and investors in 2025?
