Details

What You'll Learn:
• The Chicago area benefited greatly from the industrial boom, largely supercharged by the fast-growing transportation, logistics, and warehousing industries. How are owners
and developers keeping up with the increased demand for facilities and new development?
• With an increased demand and a short supply of construction materials, how are developers and contractors moving forward with new projects? How are rising construction
costs and supply chain issues impacting the development of new facilities?
• The Chicago-area industrial vacancy rate is at its lowest level in more than two decades, and rents in some markets are estimated to be up 10% to 15% year over year. How are
landlords attracting tenants and winning deals?
• Amid a super-tight industrial market, will more warehouse developers try to snap up suburban office sites?
• Customer demands have changed before and throughout the pandemic. How has this impacted development and investment trends? What type of industrial space is most in
demand: light industrial, last-mile distribution, cold storage, manufacturing or biopharma?
• As cold storage is much more expensive than a standard warehouse, what type of demand is there for speculative cold storage development?
• Which submarkets in the region are seeing the most growth and activity? What are the major distinctions between the submarkets?
