Atlanta, GA Economic Overview

Location Photo

The City of Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and, at nearly 475,000 residents, it is also the largest city in the state. As the total metropolitan population is over 5.7 million people in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell MSA, the area is the ninth-largest metro area in the U.S. and is known as the Shining Star of the South. With a GDP of $339 billion Atlanta is home to 16 Fortune 500 companies along with a diverse mix of businesses in the advanced manufacturing, technology, bio-science, clean-tech and auto industries. Industry of all types is attracted to the dynamic city, creating an almost unprecedented demand for commercial real estate in Atlanta.

The booming economy of Atlanta is recognized worldwide and has won numerous awards, including the #1 award as the city with the Lowest Cost of Doing Business (from KPMG), the #3 Best City for Young Entrepreneurs from Forbes, the #2 Best City for Millennials from Money.com, the #3 City for Global 500 Headquarters, and the #3 City for Fortune 500 Headquarters.

With a growing job base, the median household income of over $50,000 has grown by 10% over the previous year. Income growth in the Atlanta metropolitan area is expected to remain strong as companies continue to be attracted to the business-friendly city, a talented workforce with the third-lowest unionization rate in the country, and the unmatched domestic and global access that the city offers.

Atlanta, GA Commercial Real Estate Market

The continued growth of the Atlanta commercial real estate market is driven by the third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies and numerous world headquarter locations including Coca-Cola, Turner Broadcasting, Home Depot, UPS, Delta Airlines and AT&T Mobility.

Over 75% of all the Fortune 1000 companies do business in metro Atlanta and the area is home to nearly 1,300 multinational corporations. Other industries that play a major role in the commercial real estate market of Atlanta include logistics, media, information technology, and education.

There is nearly 770 million square feet of industrial space in all nine of Atlanta's submarkets, with flex space accounting for less than 8% of that figure. Despite new speculative product coming onto the market, industrial vacancy rates in Atlanta continue to decline as net absorption is nearing a record high. With very little industrial product in the pipeline, both rental rates and CAP rates for industrial space in Atlanta remain stable.

With nearly 223 million square feet of office inventory in Atlanta's 12 submarkets, office vacancy rates in Atlanta are holding steady despite the delivery of over 1.4 million square feet of new office product. Net absorption, asking rents, and CAP rates all increasing and all market indicators are expected to continue moving in the right directions. Class A office space in the Atlanta metro area accounts for just over 50% of the inventory total.

The retail market in Atlanta has been expanding significantly, with just under 167 million square feet of inventory and vacancy rates barely over 9%, the market is seeing near-historic positive absorption, new product delivery and the lowest vacancy rate in years. With nearly 3 million square feet of product in the pipeline, much of the new retail product is coming from the development of mixed-use projects in the northern suburbs of Atlanta including Decatur, Johns Creek, and Alpharetta.
