Tampa Florida Industrial Real Estate Activity
At Bounat we work regularly to compile a comprehensive list of the most significant industrial commercial real estate activity, focusing heavily on construction projects and industrial real estate sales taking place each quarter in Tampa, Florida.
Tampa’s industrial market has experienced significant growth over the past few years, marked by brisk leasing activity, historic rates of net absorption, and strong rent growth. Its geographic advantages are apparent, as well. Sitting in the central part of Florida and along the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Tampa makes for a great transportation hub of goods and materials coming in and out of the country for not only national, but international markets as well.
Below we go over several important statistics of industrial real estate in Tampa, FL.
Tampa Industrial Real Estate Stats and Updates Q1 2026
The Tampa Industrial market continues to outperform many major U.S. metros. However, the recent development wave, slowdown in large leases, and tenant move-outs from older buildings have pushed the vacancy rate to a decade high, impacting the magnitude at which owners can raise rents.
Tampa’s industrial vacancy rate has increased by 1.1% from this time last year to 7.7% as of the second quarter of 2026. This increase continues a multi-year trend of supply outpacing demand, with vacancies rising from a record low of 3.6% in 2021. Absorption has been muted over the trailing 12-month period, with the market recording -290,000 SF of absorption. Much of which is occurring in buildings built before 2015, as the flight to quality has become a major theme in Tampa’s industrial market.
Additionally, the lack of larger leases being executed, along with fewer build-to-suits, has dampened leasing activity and absorption over the past two years. Tampa historically is not a big-box leasing market, with most leases under 50,000 SF. That changed in 2020, as demand for large-scale distribution accelerated. Now, that sector of the market has cooled, with far fewer leases over 100,000 SF executed than at the market’s peak. Tampa went on a multi-year run of landing 1-million-SF+ BTSs with Target, Lowe’s, and City
Furniture. The largest build-to-suit is a 400,000-square-foot facility for Baudocco Foods in Pasco County.
Developers are adjusting to changing market conditions, with only 3.3 million SF currently under construction. Market participants have indicated that some of this slowdown is also due to the lack of land in the core Tampa submarkets of East Side and Westshore/Airport. In fact, industrial developers have been purchasing office complexes in these highly desirable industrial areas as
traditional land positions are few and far between.
Asking rents have increased 1.3% year-over-year. While still healthy, this is well below the 13% average growth seen from 2021 to 2023. Many tenants, particularly local and regional firms, are pushing back. Those who signed leases before 2020 are now facing sticker shock upon renewal, as rents have climbed roughly 60% over the past five years.
Even though construction activity has cooled, new supply remains a headwind, and vacancies are expected to rise as additional product comes online. Still, Tampa continues to outperform the U.S. and several major industrial markets on both rent growth and vacancy rates, a dynamic expected to persist over the coming quarters.
