Broader Los Angeles Industrial Market Conditions

The Cello Jeans lease comes as the Los Angeles industrial market navigates a period of elevated vacancy and softening rents relative to the post-pandemic peak. Kidder Mathews reported 6.0% direct vacancy across the Los Angeles industrial market in the second quarter of 2026, up from 5.6% a year earlier, with total vacancy including sublet space reaching 6.9%. Average direct asking rent across the market stood at $1.37 per square foot per month NNN, down 6.16% year over year from $1.46.

CBRE reported Los Angeles industrial vacancy at 5.0% at the end of the second quarter of 2026, down 22 basis points quarter over quarter, while asking rents fell 2.5% quarterly and 7.0% year over year. Matthews Real Estate reported countywide vacancy at 6.5% and an average asking rent of $16.90 per square foot annually in the same period, noting that tenants had gained greater negotiating leverage in the current environment.

Total Los Angeles industrial leasing activity reached 6.2 million square feet in the second quarter of 2026, a figure that reflects demand that remains present but more selective than during the prior expansion cycle.
