MS&C Commercial Tri-County Market Report: Q3 2023

THIRD QUARTER 2023

Commercial Quarterly State of the Market

Sarasota, Manatee & Charlotte Counties The tri-county commercial market posted consistent market fundamentals through the third quarter of 2023. During this quarter, Retail and Multi-Family sales had the most sales volume by dollar amount for all the core commercial sectors in the area.

The Retail sector is very active in Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties. The retail vacancy rates are at historic lows. There is currently 570,000 square feet of retail space under construction, and the demand has remained strong in this sector, considering that only 20% of the under-construction square footage is available for lease. Additionally, retail lease rates saw a year-over-year increase in all three counties.

The vacancy rate of industrial space continues to rise due to the outpacing of new construction versus the demand. However, the industrial sector posted a strong third quarter with over $75,000,000 in sales, and asking rents rose in all three counties.

The office sector’s vacancy rate increased year over year due to significant tenant move-outs. For example, Emerson Automation Solutions vacated 20,000 square feet of office space in the Bradenton Financial Building. Even with the slight vacancy rate increase, this office market has one of the lowest vacancy rates in all of Florida.

Since February 2022, the Federal Reserve began increasing interest rates with eleven consecutive rate increases to date. At the Federal Reserve’s last two meetings, held on June 14, 2023, and September 20, 2023, the committee left the current interest rates unchanged. It is unclear how the increase will influence investors and trading in Commercial Real Estate in our area. However, MS&C Commercial will continue to track the market and trends as interest rates are expected to climb throughout 2023 and into 2024.

MS&C Commercial is committed to the goals of our clients and those of the commercial real estate industry. We will continue to monitor market movements in our area.
