LA County Big-Box Industrial Monitor
Where the big space is
Every available 75,000+ SF building in the LA basin, sized by available space. Rings mark heavy power (4,000+ amps). The inset shows the full county, including North County.
By region
Asking rent = average quoted $/SF/month. Sold = median $/SF, last 12 months (number of sales).
| Region | Bldgs | Avail SF | Ask rent | Sold $/SF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| South Bay | 80 | 14.5M | $1.40 | $272 (15) |
| Central LA | 45 | 7.4M | $1.18 | $368 (9) |

Sale prices by quarter
Median $/SF for full-building sales, 75K+ SF. Each multi-building portfolio counted once. *Q3 2026 through Sept. 18.
How much power is out there
Available buildings by electrical service (242 of 277 report amps).
Heavy power is common in this size class, yet asking rents barely price it in: 4,000A+ buildings ask about the same as sub-1,000A space — an opportunity for manufacturers, cold storage and EV fleets.
Asking rent by location and building age
Average quoted asking rent, $/SF/month, by year built (number of listings). — = fewer than 3 quoted rates.

Newest South Bay product: most landlords of new Class A buildings don’t publish rates, so few make it into the averages. Quoted examples run $1.85–$2.00/SF NNN (Gardena, ~90,000 SF, built 2013; Long Beach, ~40,000 SF, built 2012), and Klein Commercial is hearing up to ~$2.00 NNN on the newest deliveries.

What it means
Owners
The median sale price is down about 19% from a year ago, and buildings typically sit on the market for about 243 days. Well-priced, well-powered buildings still trade — price to today’s comps.
Users
With 72.6M SF to choose from and 4.5M SF of sublease space, tenants have leverage on rent, free rent and TI. Older (pre-1970) space asks about $1.18/SF vs. $1.55 for 1990s–2000s product.
Investors
Basis has reset: the median 75K+ SF sale is $240/SF, versus $390/SF for buildings built since 2010. Watch older loans maturing in 2026–27 for owner-user and value-add opportunities.
