Take-up for 2020 totalled 720,780 sq ft, up 1% from 2019.
Small transactions dominated the market with 41 lettings below 3,000 sq ft and 65 below 10,000 sq ft, however there was also a slight increase in activity in the 30,000 sq ft plus bracket with noted deals to Amazon and FedEx.
Iain Landsman, CBRE Aberdeen office associate director, said: “In Aberdeen the largest transactions were all for the best quality stock or pre-lets.
“This demand should result in further industrial development within the city and force landlords to upcycle and refurbish older industrial properties coming to the end of their lifecycle.”
