REGION

Home to over 3,190,400 residents, Orange County finds itself in a unique position as the third most populous county in the state of California. Accounting for over a third of the state’s overall Gross Domestic Product in 2018, Orange County is part of a California economy that has recently surpassed the United Kingdom to become the world’s fifth largest economy. Bolstered by a workforce where 38% of the population has a bachelor’s degree or higher, Orange County has seen year-over-year 4.35% growth in wages.

Orange County remains one of the most land constrained Southern California markets with ease of access to a larger population. With supply constraints in the market, industrial product in Orange County has continued to be converted into higher density uses. As e-commerce continues to grow, tenants looking for industrial space along strategic transportation corridors are faced with one of the tightest markets and rental rates continue along an unprecedented growth trajectory.
