Real estate firm CBRE recently did an analysis of the top 100 leases for US distribution center space in the first half of 2024, ranked based on the square footage of each facility.

CBRE then looked at what industry sectors were most prevalent in that top 100. That ranking is provided in the graphic below:

As can be seen, the largest percentage of the 100 leases were signed by traditional retailers and wholesalers with 30, followed by third-party logistics providers (29), ecommerce operators (14) and food & beverage companies (13).

CBRE found that the average size of leases in the largest 100 increased to 814,000 sq. ft. from 791,000 sq. ft. a year earlier.
