Juarez Industrial Market
Ciudad Juarez industrial vacancy rose to 10.7% at the close of 2025, up from 10.6% in the prior quarter and 8.0% recorded one year ago. Vacancy has been on an upward trend as the market faces external pressures and resource constraints, particularly water and energy shortages, which have increased operating costs and limited new investment. Gross absorption for the quarter reached 1,016,397 SF, a significant increase from the previous year, while net absorption turned positive at 238,120 SF following a negative prior quarter.
Total market inventory reached 89.0 million SF by year-end 2025. The average asking rent decreased slightly to $8.04 USD/SF/year, compared to $8.12 in the previous quarter, though it remains marginally higher than the $8.03 rate from one year ago. Currently, there are 885,342 SF under construction in the region. The local economy remains heavily dependent on the maquiladora industry, which has been impacted by its high reliance on foreign trade inputs and processes amidst inflation rates that stay above the national average. These factors, combined with a weakening domestic demand due to job losses, continue to shape the regional industrial landscape heading into 2026.
