Indiana Industrial & Logistics Outlook 2018 | Bisnow | 26 April 2018 | The Westin Indianapolis, 241 W Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46204, US

From creating a record 30,158 jobs in 2017, equating to $7.04 billion in future investment for the state, to adding 26 newly constructed buildings totaling 8.1 msf (a new record within a calendar year!), Indianapolis' economy and industrial market are booming.

And the industrial market’s remarkable run isn’t over yet.

With rents continuing to rise (4.6%-year-over-year growth) and the construction pipeline continuing to stay full in 2018, where do the opportunities still lie?

The e-commerce revolution has had substantial impacts across commercial real estate. In addition to creating a boom in demand for distribution facilities, e-commerce has placed significant demands on the labor market. As labor becomes more difficult to secure, are automation and other technologies going to take over?

3) With 3PL tenants and e-commerce distribution centers accounting for more than half of new user activity, what's attracting them to Indianapolis?
4) With a robust construction pipeline, how are developers financing and leasing new projects?
5) How with labor, automation and Amazon impact industrial real estate both Nationally and locally?
