Long Beach industrial real estate market
Long Beach is my home market and the center of my industrial practice. Here is where vacancy and rents stand today, and what the numbers mean if you own, lease or are looking to buy.
Market snapshot
Where Long Beach industrial stands.
Long Beach industrial is anchored by the ports, the airport and a deep base of small and mid-size users. Vacancy sits a little above the Los Angeles average, while asking rents run well above it.
Numbers move every quarter, so treat these as a starting point. I can pull current comparables for your specific building or search.

What it means for you
Owners, tenants and buyers.
If you own
Pricing and lease terms should reflect your building's real strengths: clear height, power, yard and dock access, not just square footage.
Higher rents here reward buildings that fit how tenants operate today, so a well-prepared property can compete.
If you lease
Availability gives tenants room to negotiate on term, improvements and renewal options.
Start your search early. The right building with the right power and yard is rarely available on your timeline.
If you buy
Owner-users can compare the cost of owning against rent, including SBA 504 financing.
Investors should look past the headline rent to lease length, tenant quality and what the building needs.
