Coverage note: the rolling 24-month completion measure uses records aligned to the current measurement window; older completion history remains separate.

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

Industrial + small-bay snapshot

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.
No additional new supply admittedAn incomplete or unpublished source lane is not evidence of zero market activity.

Source audit · not a project count

Washington permit-source audit3 of 288 authorities produced a corpus
679,174source records archived
319screened permit groups
181industrial-use groups · not supply
0additional new-supply projects admitted

The 181 industrial-use groups are not a new-supply count: 119 are alterations, 18 are site-clearing records, four are changes of occupancy, and one has unstated construction scope. The 30 new-construction and 9 addition groups remain future reconciliation candidates.

The stale 271-group first pass is superseded after 90 false positives were removed, including 59 amenity-token admissions. Another 138 groups remain withheld. Existing Supply retains 25 project-level leads and Demand retains 693 signals. Unlock: Reconcile the 30 new-construction and nine addition groups against the existing Supply identities, decode Prince George's DPIE permit types, and sweep Northern Virginia before admitting any additional supply.

Washington's completed source audit adds no new industrial or small-bay project to the public pipeline. The acquired archive spans 679,174 rows across three of 288 enumerated authorities and rolls to 319 screened groups. Its 181 authority- or description-stated industrial-use groups are not a new-supply count: 119 are alterations, 18 are site-clearing records, four are changes of occupancy, and one has unstated construction scope. Thirty new-construction and nine addition groups remain future reconciliation candidates rather than admissions. The stale 271-group first pass is superseded; 138 additional land-only or undecoded-type candidates remain withheld. Existing Supply retains 25 project-level leads and Demand retains 693 signals, byte-for-byte. Northern Virginia is unmeasured. No figure in this source audit is added to a Washington metro count or the national measured totals.

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.
