The industrial market continues to be a top-performing commercial real estate sector, but there are subtle signs that the industry is beginning to experience slight headwinds. Vacancy rates are rising and the lead developer in this space, Prologis, is no longer building on spec for the time being. Still, demand is burgeoning and that is expected to continue.

Other developments promise to drive growth: e-commerce, although it has leveled off, is a major driver and the product itself is evolving with such developments as multi-story warehouses and innovations to robotics and automation. And although capital has tightened up across the board, it remains robust for industrial.

As the environment undergoes these changes, experts in the industrial real estate space will have to work that much harder to stay ahead.

Aiming to recognize the efforts that drive the sector’s spectacular performance, GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum is shining a spotlight on the professionals and companies that have helped shape the industrial real estate market.
