Industrial real estate in the Inland Empire is shifting and timing is everything

National industrial rents are down 4.3% from late-2020 peaks, with effective rents at 6.1% (CRE Daily / Commercial Edge). Even Los Angeles has seen five straight quarters of declines (LA Times), as more than 2 billion square feet of new space came online between 2020–2024.

But demand is still strong for logistics and e-commerce hubs. Online sales now make up 16% of U.S. retail (JLL / MMCG). Properties near the I-10 and I-15 corridors are holding premium rents, while outdated facilities in less connected areas face 8–9% vacancy rates.

In 2025, location and property type aren’t just important they’re everything.
