Leasing Market Overview

MEASURING Q3 2025

Santa Clarita continues to be a balanced suburban market with stable rents and moderate leasing activity. Asking rents have remained relatively flat, oscillating between $1.97 and $2.27/SF/mo, underscoring the submarket’s affordability and appeal to regional and service-oriented tenants.

Vacancy has slowly expanded, reaching roughly 660,000 SF, although much of that reflects new product delivery rather than tenant exodus. Leasing activity has been consistent, with typical quarterly absorption between 20,000–80,000 SF, and deal volume (15-19 annually) suggesting sustained small-shop demand.

The market benefits from strong household growth and stable consumer demand. While Santa Clarita lacks the rent premiums of coastal or central LA markets, its stability and affordability make it an attractive environment for expanding tenants seeking long-term cost certainty.

Successful Client

Meet Leslie and Bob! They share the story behind their family’s longtime building on Ventura Boulevard, a property Leslie’s father bought decades ago that became the heart of their family business.

After years of managing it through different tenants (and even an earthquake!), the space sat empty after COVID, and it became tough to maintain. That’s when they reached out to Todd Nathanson and Rachel Adams from illi Commercial Real Estate for help.

With the team’s guidance, Leslie and Bob sold their property and completed a 1031 exchange, finding a Burger King–leased building in Wisconsin, a reliable, income-producing investment that gives them peace of mind without the stress of day-to-day management.

They’re beyond happy with how smooth the process was! Watch their story!
