under construction or with approved plans.
Demand: In 1Q21, Sydney recorded 313,113 sqm of gross take-up which is significantly higher than the historic ten-year average. The strong gross take-up is supported by rising demand
from eCommerce users. This has resulted in the Retail Trade sector accounting for 41% of gross take up during the quarter. The second and third largest user groups were Postal, Transport and
Warehousing users (32%) and Wholesale Trade users (10%).
Rents: Low vacancy rates and a shortage of developable land has translated to an average y-o-y rental growth of approximately 1.2% across all industrial precincts. The Outer Central
West continues to perform strongly with net face rents growing by 3.2% to A$130/sqm. Prime industrial incentives have also increased slightly over the previous 12 months although they remain
relatively low compared to other markets. Average prime incentives in the Outer Central West currently sitting at 16%.

increase over the next 12 months as new speculative stock is completed.
