According to Colliers North America Big Box report, Atlanta is in for a record-setting year with a record of 21.2 million square-feet currently under construction and leasing activity totaling nearly 16 million square feet in Q2 2021 which puts the market on pace to reach record heights by year-end. And despite 7.1 million square-feet of new bulk space being added to the market’s supply in Q1 2021, vacancy rates continue to decline. Vacancy dipped below 7% for the second time ever in the market’s history.
