Market Analysis - Projecting Demand, Growth, and Supply/Demand

Hey WSO - I'm curious what kind of metrics that you guys look at when analyzing a market/subsector.

Of course I can look at rental growth, vacancy, new absorption, but how do you go about projecting future demand? I'm looking for something quantitative. If I'm investing in a growing sector (say industrial) how can I quantify that our new development isn't saturating the market? Office? Retail? Hotels?

I think I'm almost looking for an economic multiplier of sorts.

Thanks!!!
