Eight year of good news does the bottom fall out? Minimal change in vacancy expected in 2018 as supply matches demand Multiple big box transactions in the pipeline when will they get done? Fewer construction deliveries in 2018 than the past two years, but a new wave of development beginning in spring Continued positive net absorption during 2018 (likely below 2016 & 2017 levels)
Infill development will continue to be in high demand due to the growth of e-commerce and the need for these companies to be in close proximity to their end customers especially near O Hare Increased demand for freezer/cooler space due to the growth of online grocery service When will the big bombers developed in the I-80 Joliet Corridor lease up?
