Buildings with 2,000+ amps

58 existing (5.1M SF) · 32 at 4,000A+

The headline: the space is big but the buildings are small. Just 58 buildings of 100,000 SF or more hold 42% of all available space, while 329 buildings under 10,000 SF hold only 6% of it. Small space is the tight, expensive end of the market at $1.68/SF for under 5,000 SF, against $1.35 for the largest blocks. Meanwhile 2.9M SF of new product is coming in 19 buildings, nearly all 32–40′ clear with 4,000 amps, into a market where the typical existing building is 18′ clear.

Where the space is

Every available building, sized by available square feet. Orange marks buildings reporting 2,000 amps or more. Dashed outlines are proposed or under construction. Locations are approximate; tap or hover a dot for size, power and offering.

Median asking rent and sale price by area. The two “edge” areas sit just outside the South Bay but compete for the same tenants and buyers.

Rent = median quoted $/SF/month of buildings with a rate. Sale = median asking price ÷ available SF (number of buildings). Days listed = median for existing buildings. Pipeline = proposed + under construction.

Carson / Compton / Rancho Dominguez is the big-box engine, with 9.9M SF available, 40% of the whole market. LAX / Beach Cities and Torrance carry the highest rents ($1.95 and $1.70) and asking sale prices ($417 and $379/SF). Gardena / Harbor Gateway is the value play at $1.30 and $250/SF.

Median quoted $/SF/month (number of buildings). Larger buildings rarely publish a rate, so the 50K+ column is thin.

By building age

Built	Bldgs	Available SF	Clear ht.	Ask rent (n)
Pre-1960	157	3.0M SF	15′	$1.50 (79)
1960–79	316	8.7M SF	18′	$1.43 (212)
1980–99	201	5.5M SF	20′	$1.50 (149)
2000–09	38	1.6M SF	24′	$1.65 (26)
2010+	23	2.1M SF	32′	$1.85 (7)

Most available space is in buildings from the 1960s and 1970s. Clear height tracks age closely: 15′ before 1960, 18′ for 1960–79, 20′ for 1980–99 and 32′ for 2010 and later.

Newer buildings ask more, about $1.85/SF for 2010+ product against $1.43–$1.50 for older space, but most new Class A landlords do not publish rates, so few make it into the averages.

Existing buildings only; 28 listings do not report a year built. Clear height is the median of reported maximum clear.

How much power is out there

Buildings by reported electrical service (616 of 782 report amps). Orange bars are 2,000A and up.

Under 400A165

400–999A295

1,000–1,999A84

2,000–3,999A40

4,000A+32

72 buildings report 2,000 amps or more. 58 are existing (5.1M SF) and 14 are proposed or under construction, where 4,000 amps has become standard.

Heavy power is not being priced in. Existing 2,000A+ buildings quote a median of about $1.10–$1.20/SF, below lighter-powered space, partly because they skew larger and older. For manufacturers, cold storage, EV fleets and data-adjacent users, that is the opportunity.

Heavy-power spotlight

Existing buildings with the largest electrical service. Approximate size and city only; call for details.

New construction

19 buildings totaling 2.9M SF are proposed or under construction, concentrated in Torrance, Carson, Gardena, Inglewood and Long Beach. They will compete directly with the 1970s inventory that makes up most of today’s availability.

What it means

Users & corporations

With 21.6M SF of existing space and a 179-day median listing time, tenants have leverage on rent, free rent and TI, especially above 25,000 SF. Space under 10,000 SF is the exception, asking $1.50–$1.68. Need power? 58 existing buildings already have 2,000A+.

Owners

Price to today’s market. Large and older buildings face direct competition from 2.9M SF of 32′+ new construction. Small, well-located buildings remain the strongest product, with 128 for-sale buildings under 25,000 SF asking a median $315/SF (about $2.2M each).

Investors

Asking prices run about $260/SF for buildings over 25,000 SF versus $315/SF for owner-user size. 24 listed buildings carry recorded loans maturing by the end of 2028; watch them for value-add and sale-leaseback opportunities.

Developers

New product is almost entirely 100,000 SF+ big-box. Only two of the 19 pipeline buildings are under 50,000 SF. Infill multi-tenant and small-bay product with modern clear height and heavy power has little new competition.
