Inland Empire Warehouse Market Report: Q1 2026
The Inland Empire remains one of North America’s most important logistics hubs, supported by its proximity to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and a vast regional distribution network. After a record construction wave, the market entered 2026 in a recalibration phase marked by elevated vacancy, softer rents, and a sharply reduced development pipeline. While deliveries recently outpaced absorption, leasing activity remains strong by national standards, and long-term fundamentals continue to be driven by e-commerce demand, port throughput, and the region’s deep transportation workforce.
