As the summer season is coming to close, we’ve had numerous conversations with investors, business owners and regional brokers and the feedback is consistent, fundamentals are trending down from the highs of 2021, but still ahead of pre-pandemic numbers. It’s safe to say that Rapid City’s market is stabilizing but the growth trends are still evident across the board. Even with the threat of a recession, and many argue that we’re there, we’re confident with Rapid City’s continued growth and business-friendly economic policies, the real estate market will weather the storm. You will see the same trends in the attached market stats with nearly every sector trending lower than 2021.
We welcomed two new team members early this summer – agent Dan Logan and marketing coordinator Erika Uecker. Dan is busy working with both leasing and sales transactions and has been helping out part-time with transaction coordination as Hannah is out on maternity leave. Erika has quickly enhanced our marketing efforts, improving our information packages, social media outreach and is coordinating the launch of our new and improved website that will be coming soon!
Leasing is still experiencing an inventory shortage, despite the perception of a lot of space available in the market. Warehouse space continues to have the highest demand with little to no inventory and vacancy below 2%. We have multiple tenants looking for warehouse/industrial space of all sizes and mid-sized office space ranging 2,000-5,000 SF. If you have space that might be a fit, contact our leasing agent, Gina Plooster – Gina@RapidCityCommercial.com or 605-519-0749 - to set up an appointment to discuss.
