CoStar ranks Tampa top US small-bay industrial market on rent, leasing momentum
  • CoStar ranked Tampa first among 54 large U.S. markets for small-bay industrial performance using a Z-score methodology.
  • Tampa led on rent growth, ranked third on leasing activity growth, supported by constrained small-bay supply.
  • Columbus placed second on strong leasing activity and rent gains, despite several years of industrial development.
  • Demand concentrated in Columbus submarkets Airport and Hilliard, where limited new construction kept availability relatively low.
  • Ranking modeled leasing momentum, vacancy expansion, inventory growth since 2015, plus rent changes from pre-pandemic averages to since 2023.
