Industrial Watch: February 22, 2020
“Commercial real estate lending saw an increase of 7% at the end of 2019, with industrial loans at a 67% increase in dollar volume year-over-year. This new borrowing high for industrial was by far the biggest increase among all property types, supporting the sentiment that it is still a sweet spot for investors. Borrowing and lending trends, including an increase from alternative lenders, are expected to continue in 2020 with low interest rates and solid CRE fundamentals.” -Adam Abushagur
