“With industrial leading the way, confidence among commercial real estate professionals hit record levels going into the summer (SIOR). No sign can be more indicative of this positive sentiment than the historic level of speculative warehouses under construction. By the end of the 2nd quarter, nearly 575 million square feet were underway nationwide, representing a 30% increase from a year ago. More than half of all new construction broke ground as speculative builds. Given that the average project is about 300,000 square feet (Wealth Management), it’s clear that developers are targeting large tenants such as Amazon and FedEx. While new supply of smaller warehouses dwindles, demand remains high. This presents a great investment opportunity to satisfy an unmet need in today’s market.” -Adam Abushagur
