Missoula’s industrial market shifted meaningfully in 2025, and the implications heading into 2026 warrant a closer look. In this year-in-review video, Claire Matten breaks down the drivers behind rising vacancy, the recalibration of lease rates, and why much of the recent availability is tied to one-time closures rather than a structural drop in demand. She also outlines how obsolescence, construction costs, and user requirements are influencing both leasing and sales decisions across the county.
Claire provides a clear, data-informed perspective on what these trends mean for owners, users, and developers as absorption accelerates and small-bay opportunities come into focus. Watch the full recap for a concise walkthrough of 2025 performance and a forward-looking outlook on where the Missoula industrial market is positioned for 2026.
