The report’s purpose remains unchanged: translating industrial property market data into intelligence that matters for supply chain operations, facility planning and distribution strategy.

This edition examines the latest market conditions and the broader economic forces shaping facility decisions through mid-2026.

The Future of Warehouses:

October 10, 2025

The warehouse automation landscape has changed more in the past five years than in the previous 25.
