Industrial & Logistics
Warehouse and fulfillment demand, manufacturing onshoring, and power-and-labor-driven land plays reshaping where industrial gets built.
Industrial has matured from the last cycle's darling into a more selective market. Warehouse and fulfillment demand continues, but site selection is increasingly driven by power, labor, and proximity, the same forces reshaping the rest of development.
Manufacturing onshoring and nearshoring add a new layer: large plants and their supplier ecosystems are creating land plays in markets that were not traditional industrial hubs.
This hub tracks industrial and logistics: the projects, the demand drivers, and the onshoring wave reshaping US manufacturing real estate.

Frequently asked
- Is industrial real estate still a strong development play?
- It is still healthy but more selective than the pandemic-era peak. Vacancy has normalized off record lows as a wave of new warehouse supply delivered, so success now depends more on location, power, labor access, and building specification than on riding a rising tide. The strongest demand clusters around population centers and major logistics corridors.
- How is manufacturing onshoring affecting real estate?
- Reshoring and nearshoring of manufacturing are driving large plant projects and the supplier and logistics ecosystems around them. These can anchor entirely new industrial submarkets, often in places chosen for power, labor, and incentives rather than traditional distribution geography, creating land plays well ahead of the buildings themselves.
- What drives industrial site selection today?
- Access to power and labor, proximity to population and transport, and speed to occupancy increasingly outweigh raw land cost. Large modern facilities, especially advanced manufacturing and cold storage, have heavy power and infrastructure needs, so the same power-first logic reshaping data centers is now shaping industrial site selection too.
