Market Intel

IOS financing conditions continue catching up to the sector's transaction volume. Recent data from Eastdil Secured shows IOS sales volume has reached roughly $7 billion annually, nearly three times the 2016 baseline. Portfolio sales have exceeded $2 billion per year for two consecutive years.

**IOS Rent Growth:** Up 123% since 2020 (Newmark)
**Annual Sales Volume:** ~$7B
**Portfolio Transaction Volume:** Exceeding $2B annually for two consecutive years
**Total Market Value:** Estimated $200B+

Operating Context

ACT Research's March 2026 trucking outlook points to a firmer operating backdrop for IOS. Driver availability is tightening, spot truckload rates are materially higher year-over-year, and elevated diesel costs continue to pressure smaller carriers. That combination reinforces demand for well-located yards near freight corridors where equipment staging, parking, and flexible storage matter most.

**Practical takeaway:** The combined April 4 and April 7 editions work best as one issue because they are telling the same live market story: Florida remains active, Texas still clears infill trades, and the broader IOS capital stack keeps getting more institutional.
