At The Ponce Real Estate Group, Frank Ponce and Anna Khomut continue to lead with deep insight and strategic foresight in Los Angeles' dynamic industrial real estate market. Their expertise is proving invaluable as the market shifts—presenting fresh opportunities for tenants and investors alike.

After a brief plateau in early 2025, industrial space availability in Los Angeles picked up momentum in Q2, rising 40 basis points to 8.4%. This marks a significant development: more than 80 million square feet of industrial space is now available for lease in LA County—the most tenant-friendly landscape seen in over a decade.

Thanks to Frank and Anna's sharp market intelligence, clients are seizing this window of opportunity. Tenants remain highly active, leasing over 10 million square feet in Q2 alone (excluding renewals)—only the fourth time this milestone has been surpassed since 2021. However, with new listings continuing to outpace lease activity, the market is offering a wider selection of industrial space than ever before.

The mid-size segment, particularly buildings ranging from 100,000 to 250,000 square feet, has become especially competitive. Twenty-five new listings were introduced this quarter, increasing total availability in this category to over 10%.

Notable listings include:

• 15300 Desman Road, La Mirada – A modern 255,000 SF warehouse with 41’ clear height and 52 dock-high doors, listed at $1.49/SF (NNN). Available for lease directly or via sublease through 2026.
• 19914 Via Baron, Rancho Dominguez – A 235,000 SF property now available for sublease through July 2030, contributing to the growing share of sublease opportunities—now at 17% of total market availability.

Even as sublease inventory rises, new construction is keeping pace. The second quarter saw groundbreakings on three buildings within the 100,000-250,000 SF range, plus two smaller assets. While only 20% of current projects are preleased—below the national average—this further expands tenant options in a supply-rich market.

Frank and Anna continue to guide clients through these market shifts with precision and a forward-thinking approach. Whether you're a tenant looking to capitalize on record availability or an investor navigating current fundamentals, their team ensures you're positioned for success in a market full of possibilities.
