Data Centre Development Potential
Moderate vacancy (6.3%) in Airport District suggests a balanced market with selective opportunities for data centre conversion or development. Active construction pipeline of 1.2M SF indicates developer confidence in the submarket. Negative absorption of 443K SF over 12 months warrants caution, though this may create discounted acquisition opportunities.
