Cap Rate Survey
February 2013
>
Transaction activity in the industrial sector was up only slightly in 2012. According to figures from RCA, volume for the year came in at $36.9
billion, up only $1.5 billion from a year earlier. However, this slow growth is partly an artifact of the accounting behind the AMB/Prologis merger
in 2011, which is reported as a $4.2 billion sale, according to RCA. Without this transaction, volume would be up 18.4% from a year ago, closer
to the pace of growth for investment volume in the office and retail sectors.
CBRE Capital Markets and Valuation professionals expect that cap rates for stabilized Class A industrial assets will continue to compress in 2013
in 21 out of 41 markets surveyed. Here too there is room for further compression, with the average cap rate for this asset class at 6.5%, according
to the results of the survey. It is interesting to note that these professionals expect less investor appetite to move out on the risk spectrum within
the industrial sector. In the Class B segment of the market, only in 19 out of 41 markets is further compression anticipated, with expectations for
compression really falling off in the Class C segment. In that segment, only nine markets are expected to see enough interest to generate further cap
rate compression.
