Industrial Watch: February 8, 2020
“While flex properties would seem to hold an advantage with the all-in-one combination of office and distribution space, they have been viewed as higher risk than industrial warehouses. Research from 2019 showed warehouse sales up 95 percent with flex assets up only 43 percent over the past decade. Experts still ensure that interest in flex properties is strong due to the fact that they are in closer proximity to customers usually. Logistics and e-commerce have taken over the industrial show, but the freedom of flex will stand the test of time.” -Adam Abushagur
