Colliers’ newly released 2022 Big-Box Outlook Report listed Atlanta as one of seven core North American big-box industrial markets that drove investor demand during the pandemic last year.

Here’s why:

• On top of transacting more than $7.5 billion, Atlanta was one of four markets to post occupancy gains greater than 30 million square feet in 2021.
• For the first time in the city’s history, Atlanta’s bulk rental rate average remained above $4 per square foot and its construction pipeline for bulk warehouse reached 24 million square feet.
• Atlanta’s proximity to the Port of Savannah, the fourth-largest seaport in the country and second largest on the East Coast, continues to be a key logistical advantage fueling the market’s continued growth.
