Coverage note: headline counts use verified official-source records and preserve jurisdiction-level measurement boundaries.

The Census authorization benchmark, recently completed units, and current-plus-planned pipeline are separate measures and are never added together. No coverage percentage is inferred from them.

Raleigh–Cary

Reviewed industrial and small-bay project identities. Live pipeline is shown separately where lifecycle review is available; missing source lanes are never rendered as market zeros.

Each row is scoped to that authority’s retrieved records. The rows are not summed into a metro count or the national measured total; missing jurisdictions are not treated as zero.

Correction: Corrects the authority review from 285 to 274 counted projects after shell-building and PEMB construction-stage text was prevented from establishing industrial use by itself.

Raleigh–Cary has no published metro project count because Wake County, City of Raleigh, and Town of Cary are three of 32 permitting authorities. They are shown separately with 274 counted / 67 live exact project identities: 40 under development, 27 planned, and 41 completed in the last 24 months. The counted set includes 182 confirmed-or-probable small-bay projects, 272 mapped identities, 13.31M permit-stated SF, and $482.05M source-stated value. Twenty-three scope-unstated candidates remain excluded. Johnston County, Franklin County, and 27 smaller municipal authorities remain unmeasured. Existing Supply retains 21 records and Demand retains 66 signals as separate, nonadditive layers.

Accounting: Project counts are reviewed project identities, not raw permit rows or necessarily the live pipeline. Building area and value are shown only when the source or reviewed description supports them.
