The same report counts seven Q3 leases above 500,000 sq ft, three of them over 1.0 million sq ft; together they made up 44.3% of new leasing volume but only 5.4% of the leases signed.

Industrial Zoning in the City of Atlanta

The City of Atlanta’s zoning code, Part 16 of its Code of Ordinances (published online by Municode), sets out an I-1 Light Industrial District and an I-2 Heavy Industrial District. In the code’s statement of intent, I-1 is meant to provide locations for warehousing, storage, light manufacturing, processing, repair services and sales lots, among other uses. I-2 is meant to permit heavy manufacturing in addition to the uses permitted in I-1 districts.

The code says both districts are to be created, expanded or extended only where there is adequate and direct access to major transportation facilities and minimal conflict with residential districts.

District	Warehousing and distribution centers	Storage yards	Freight or truck terminals
I-1 Light Industrial	Permitted principal uses; the same code item also lists self-storage facilities and carries an exception for property within 500 feet of the beltline corridor	Yards for storage of contractor’s equipment, sand and gravel, lumber and the like are permitted; junkyards, salvage yards and scrap metal processors are excluded	Special use permit, when erected or operated by other than a governmental agency
I-2 Heavy Industrial	Permitted principal uses; the same code item also lists self-storage facilities and carries an exception for property within 500 feet of the beltline corridor	Yards for storage of contractor’s equipment, sand and gravel, lumber and similar operations are permitted	Special use permit, when erected or operated other than by a governmental agency

The I-1 chapter also permits the conversion of industrial buildings which are 50 years of age or older to multi-family dwellings.
A third district, the Industrial Mixed Use District (I-MIX), is meant to permit a mix of industrial and non-industrial uses in areas previously used for industrial and certain other purposes. The code lets property be rezoned to it only from a short list of districts that includes I-1 and I-2.
The City’s planning GIS site offers a Property Information map that looks up zoning and parcel information for one property.

Atlanta Industrial Market: Q3 2026

Cushman & Wakefield’s MarketBeat Atlanta Industrial report for Q3 2026 lists these metro figures:

Inventory: 786,669,352 sq ft.
Vacancy: 8.6% overall in the report’s table. Its text puts the direct rate, which leaves out subleases, at 7.8%, unchanged from the prior quarter and 80 basis points below Q3 2025.
Net absorption: 1,842,521 sq ft in the third quarter, the fifth positive quarter in a row, and 8,393,833 sq ft year to date, which the report says already tops the full-year total for 2025.
New leasing: 13.5 million sq ft in the quarter, the most since 2022 and 22.5% above Q2. The report ranks Atlanta fourth nationally for new leasing and one of only four markets past 10.0 million sq ft in Q3.
Direct asking rent: $7.79 per sq ft, a new high and 3.0% above Q2.
Under construction: 8,404,600 sq ft, the most since 2024; nearly half of it (49.2%) is in buildings larger than 500,000 sq ft.
Deliveries: 2.8 million sq ft in the quarter, against an average of nearly 6.0 million sq ft a quarter from 2021 to 2025. All 11 buildings delivered in the quarter were built speculatively, with 20.2% of their space preleased before completion.

These are one firm’s figures for one quarter.

Newer quarters and other reports may differ.

Selling a Warehouse in Atlanta: Frequently Asked Questions

Who buys warehouses directly from owners in Atlanta?

Direct buyers such as Didenko Capital. Didenko Capital buys warehouses, IOS yards, and light-industrial and flex buildings in the Atlanta area. Didenko Capital is run by Yarik Didenko.

Where in Atlanta can a lot be used as an outdoor storage (IOS) yard?

It depends on the zoning district. In the City of Atlanta, the zoning code lists yards for storage of contractor’s equipment, sand and gravel, and lumber among the permitted principal uses in both the I-1 and I-2 districts; the I-1 listing specifically excludes junkyards, salvage yards and scrap metal processors. Freight and truck terminals not erected or operated by a governmental agency need a special use permit in both districts. The I-1 and I-2 chapters have no separate listing for truck or trailer parking or for container yards; both list parking surface and structures as a permitted principal use, a listing that does not mention trucks or trailers. Ask your attorney before counting on a use.

How do I look up the zoning of an Atlanta property?

The City’s planning GIS site has a Property Information map that looks up zoning and parcel information for a property, and a Zoning Map Search that searches the Official Zoning Maps by address, parcel ID, owner name or land lot.

How do I appeal a property tax assessment in Georgia?

The Georgia Department of Revenue says the county board of tax assessors must send an annual assessment notice, and an owner who wants to appeal may do so within 45 days of the date the notice was mailed. The written appeal is filed with the County Board of Tax Assessors, not with the Department of Revenue. The owner picks one of three routes: the County Board of Equalization, a Hearing Officer, or an Arbitrator. The Hearing Officer route covers the value or uniformity of value of non-homestead real property, but only when the value is greater than $500,000. The Department says an owner still dissatisfied can then appeal to Superior Court.

What has to happen before a deed is recorded in Georgia?

The Georgia Department of Revenue says the real estate transfer tax must be paid before a deed can be recorded in the office of the clerk of the superior court. It says the PT-61 Real Estate Transfer Tax Declaration can be filed on-line through the Georgia Superior Court Clerks Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA), and that questions about taxability and exemptions go to the Clerk of Superior Court in the county.

What about environmental history on an older Georgia site?

Environmental history is part of how we price a property, not an automatic no. Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division (EPD) says the Georgia Brownfield Act provides liability protection to prospective purchasers of contaminated properties from third party claims arising from past releases and groundwater cleanup. In exchange, they must investigate and clean up soil and source material to meet the state’s risk reduction standards. EPD says its final limitation of liability certificates serve as “ready for reuse” determinations. Ask an environmental attorney or consultant about your site.

Is there any obligation if I ask for an offer?

No. Asking for an offer is free, and you are not committed to anything unless you sign a purchase agreement.

Do you buy warehouses in Georgia?

Yes. We buy in all states.
