National Industrial And Logistics Summit Northeast 2018 | Bisnow | 20 February 2018 | 75 Varick St., 75 Varick St, New York, NY 10013, USA

Topics Included:
• The story beyond Amazon: Amazon is far from the only tenant driving the e-commerce space. With players such as Walmart showing a 63% increase in online sales in the first fiscal quarter of 2017, largely due to its $3B purchase of Jet.com - what does this mean for the sector? Will large retailers continue to make similar e-commerce plays?
• Industrial fundamentals: Will industrial fundamentals remain strong in 2018, or will the sector start to see the impact of unchecked construction levels and increasing land and construction costs?
• Demand vs. Supply: Can industrial sustain an eighth-straight year of demand outpacing supply?
• Rising Rents for Tenants: As industrial rents continue to rise, will buyers hesitate to pay premium prices for features such as Leed certifications when the Roi is not necessarily guaranteed?
• Last-Mile Logistics: What does the rise of urban last-mile logistics mean for the sector, and what are the limitations of the available inventory?
• Ports and Supply Chain: With U.S. seaports as a $5 trillion business, how will infrastructure improvements, supply-chain innovations, and global trade policy impact the industrial sector?
• Institutional Investment: With money continuing to pour in from institutional investors and increasing competition for quality assets - how will the sector continue its growth? What are the smart investment plays and how do strategies differ?
• Industrial Demand Type: Will investors continue seeking Class-B urban industrial facilities for their high returns, or will they begin to move to other types of industrial facilities as they face a shortage of quality properties?
