Soderquist Appraisals Ltd., based in Red Deer, found that the city's industrial vacancy rate had dropped from 3.57 per cent last July to 3.33 per cent this summer, despite new space coming on the market.

According to Soderquist, actual vacant space shrunk by 4.8 per cent to 407,000 square feet as oilpatch and other businesses expanded in Red Deer.
