What CBRE reported for DFW industrial

CBRE Research published its Q2 2026 figures on July 9, 2026. For Dallas-Fort Worth:

• Vacancy was 8.3%, down 20 bps from Q1 2026 and 60 bps from Q2 2025.
• Net absorption was 9.9 million sq. ft.
• 24.0 million sq. ft. was under construction across 86 projects.

What Cushman & Wakefield reported

The Cushman & Wakefield Q2 2026 MarketBeat reported for DFW industrial:

• Overall vacancy of 8.1%, down 20 bps quarter over quarter and 110 bps year over year.
• Asking rent of $9.19 net per square foot, up 4.0% quarter over quarter and 13.2% year over year.
• Net absorption of 9.0 million square feet.
• Alliance led absorption with 3.9 msf YTD.

Why the two vacancy figures differ

CBRE says 8.3%. Cushman & Wakefield says 8.1%. Neither is wrong. Each firm tracks its own building inventory and applies its own rules. Both agree on the direction: vacancy fell by 20 bps from the prior quarter.

The same goes for absorption. CBRE reported 9.9 million sq. ft. and Cushman & Wakefield reported 9.0 million square feet. Use the range, and cite who said what.

What it means for a tenant

If you need flex or warehouse space near Alliance, the data points to a market that is not loose. Alliance led absorption, which means other users are competing for the same product. That is a reading of the reports, not a measured Roanoke fact.

A few practical steps follow.

• Start early. Decisions on industrial space take time, and a tight market punishes a late start.
• Define the brief. Write down square footage, clear height, dock doors, power, yard and parking.
• Compare on a net basis. The $9.19 figure is net, so operating costs come on top.
• Ask about timing. Buildings under construction may deliver later than their brochure says.

A tenant representation assignment puts a broker on your side of the table for these comparisons.

What it means for an owner

If you own industrial or flex space on the Roanoke side, the same data applies in reverse. Tenants have options, so your asking terms need a basis. A landlord representation review can set that basis with facts, not hope.

Reading the data without overreaching

Treat every figure above as context. None of it tells you what a specific Roanoke building will lease for. Rent, concessions and timing depend on the building, the size and the tenant. A broker who tells you otherwise is guessing, and you should ask for the source.

Timing a search

Industrial searches rarely move fast. Touring, lease review and build-out all take time, so a tenant with a fixed move date should start well ahead of it. Give the broker your hard deadline on day one.

Nearby retail and land

Not every Roanoke user needs a warehouse. Highway-facing pad sites and strips are covered in the US 377 and SH 114 corridor guide. For the full quarter, read the Roanoke market report for Q2 2026.
