4th annual Industrial Real Estate Summit

Delivering future-ready industrial and logistics facilities that support growth and generate value

ABOUT THE EVENT

Delivering future-ready industrial and logistics facilities that support growth and generate value

Few sectors have witnessed a surge in activity quite like industrial property. The landscape has transformed significantly in recent years, making it a dynamic and ever-evolving space. As we navigate through these changes, new challenges and opportunities arise, all against the backdrop of rising interest rates and the pressing issue of limited industrial land availability nationwide.

To shed light on the nuances of this evolving asset class, The 4th annual Industrial Real Estate Summit is where the owners, developers, investors and intermediaries came together to get the latest market forecasts and insights from the most respected leaders in the sector. The event featured top level presentations, interactive panel discussions as well as roundtables and networking activities.
