TAG Industrial Watch: August 15, 2020

“While turbulent, the “stop-start-stop” of the economy during coronavirus’ second wave has not prevented industrial deals from materializing. And although industrial seems to be the breadwinner of this downturn, industrial investors are still flocking to safety in core markets, i.e. Chicago, New York, the Inland Empire, and Dallas. However, wherever there is space, industrial development continues to ramp up to meet demand for e-commerce distribution facilities, with companies like Amazon mining the market and thinking ahead. The sense of urgency could stem from the unforeseen coronavirus effect on increased e-commerce and a lack of stock.” -Adam Abushagur
