The movement of goods from the manufacturer to the end user is the primary demand driver for modern distribution facilities. The evolution of where products are manufactured and how they get to the consumer has created an opportunity for knowledgeable real estate developers. By the same token, this evolution has created considerable risk for those that fail to understand the shifting supply chain patterns. Deciphering the ever-changing dynamic of goods movement requires an understanding of ocean freight, ports, intermodal facilities, rail, trucking and population. Few people have spent as much time trying to understand these issues and their ultimate impact on real estate demand as our three panelists. Join three of the nation's leading industrial real estate development experts as they discuss and debate how changes in supply-chain patters will impact real estate development and value in the future.
