Why You Should Attend This Event

Why This Matters:

Atlanta’s industrial market is navigating a period of recalibration. Traditional logistics and distribution facilities are seeing moderated demand and rising vacancy, while specialized sectors — modern manufacturing, industrial outdoor storage, and cold storage — are emerging as key drivers of growth garnering additional investor interest and attention.

Developers are aligning new facilities with reshoring, advanced production, and EV-related demand as federal level investments aim to grow manufacturing prominence globally. Following years of rapid growth, investors are evaluating industrial outdoor storage as a maturing asset class as competition for prime sites has escalated; and cold storage operators are addressing power, facility complexity, and capital constraints to capture opportunity. Attendees will gain insights into where demand is concentrated, how underwriting and development fundamentals are evolving, and what it takes to succeed in Atlanta’s changing industrial landscape.

 

What You'll Learn:

  • How are developers positioning manufacturing facilities to meet reshoring, EV, and advanced production demand?
  • What site characteristics, infrastructure considerations, and tenant requirements are driving manufacturing development in the Atlanta area?
  • What are the do’s and don’ts for investors entering the IOS space, including land selection, lease structures, and scale considerations?
  • How are investors evaluating IOS deals, from underwriting fundamentals and valuation to long-term returns and risk mitigation?
  • How are developers and operators navigating power, facility complexity, and capital constraints to deliver cold storage that meets modern tenant needs?
  • What operational, design, and investment strategies are proving successful for new cold storage facilities?
