Those who follow commercial real estate have undoubtedly seen the headlines about the strength of the industrial sector. There’s no shortage of commentary celebrating the industrial boom, and rightfully so.
I recently recapped the trends impacting our market and contributing to its growth in an article for BOMA Magazine.
