I'd like to speak to LPs and allocators interested in Texas, Florida and Georgia. We're active, have a track record and would love to meet you. DMs open.

Thanks for the opportunity Aleksey! My partner & I buy and operate class B industrial buildings along the I-10 corridor from El Paso, TX to Jacksonville, FL. This isn't last-mile infill product. We're capitalizing on the population explosion, nearshoring of imports, onshoring of manufacturing & energy independence. Anon in public, public in the DMs. Let me know if you'd like to meet.

A lot of people here are new to industrial real estate but not new to real estate in general, so for you, I've put together a list of over 20 credible sources of research, reports and information about industrial & logistics real estate. If you’re new to industrial, some of these sources will be new to you and others will be very familiar. I won't include links as that'll kill the reach of this post, but you can easily find all of these online. Jones Lang Lasalle (numerous reports, including regional as well as their national United States Industrial Outlook), CBRE (the U.S. Figures report and regional reports), Colliers International (Industrial Market Outlook) and Cushman & Wakefield (Industrial MarketBeat Reports) all publish market insights, statistics, and forecasts for the industrial property sector. The national editions are usually quarterly and the local ones are somewhat less frequent. Prologis, the global GOAT of logistics real estate, publishes numerous research and reports on our industry. Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (ILPT) mainly focused on announcements, but these often contain market context that is very valuable to both industrial and logistics property investors. As far as industry associations go, the NAIOP (National Association for Industrial and Office Parks) publishes the Industrial Space Demand Forecast, as well as many other reports and data sets. SIOR (Society of Industrial and Office Realtors) publishes a magazine dedicated to industrial and office real estate topics. ULI (Urban Land Institute)'s has numerous articles and reports about the space. And don’t forget about CCIM, which is mainly associated with office and retail investment professionals, but has a formidable presence in industrial real estate as well. The Commercial Observer reports on the industrial market in many forms, as does IREI (Institutional Real Estate, Inc.). GlobeSt . com covers industrial real estate extensively through various publishing efforts. They’re the publisher of the weekly Industrial Weekly Newsletter, among many other forms of media. Both Bisnow and bizjournals cover industrial real estate, so even though these are general news sources, don't discount them for providing timely information about the sector. REIS by Moody's Analytics often covers the industrial sector, offering insights into rents, vacancies, and other metrics. The same goes for Real Capital Analytics (RCA, which offers research and insights into industrial real estate, both on and off its platform. Love them or hate them, CoStar is often the best source of industrial real estate data, on top of producing industry leading market analytics and periodic reports. LoopNet also provides news and research, including insights about the industrial sector. The Industrial Real Estate Podcast by Chad Griffiths (who’s on X) and the Industrial Insights Podcast are both great sources of timely information. This is by no way a comprehensive list. Our industry is vast and fast moving. If you have sources of information you’d like to share, please do so in the comments below. If you found this post useful I’d like to ask you for a Like, Comment and Repost. Thank you!

Real Estate Brothers! Retwit Sisters! Lend me your ears! If you've been in SS or MF or SFR and want to enter industrial, please speak to us incumbents first. We want you in the space. We need your skills and effort! But we'll help you avoid common mistakes.

Self-storage was a bubble because there was no additional demand that was unlocked for SS units. When a lot of additional supply was created, be it from renovating or expanding existing facilities or building new ones, there was no additional demand. This is not the case in industrial. There is much more demand for B class than there was 10 years ago due to additional manufacturing, onshoring/nearshoring and economic growth.

Why do I love owning & operating Class B Industrial: - value-add / repositioning opportunities - abundant purchasing opps - supporting our working class & SMBs (vs more corporate tenants in class A) - more operational flexibility - best risk-adjusted returns in industrial

A list for spec class B: Clear Height: 24-30’✅ Power: 1500-2500 A✅ Lighting: Standard bay✅ Office Space: Yes, but might require TI✅ Sprinklers: Yes, not necessarily ESFR✅ Dock Door Ratio: 1:5000 - 1:10000✅ Trailer Parking: Yes, but not mandatory✅ What do you think?

What's the most incredible class B industrial building you own? Bonus points for photos!
