Atlanta State of Storage Assets Conference: Cold, Self and Industrial Outdoor

Why You Should Attend This Event

Why This Matters:

Atlanta, as the most populated Southeastern US metropolitan area, has been one of the key beneficiaries of the SunBelt migration movement. As a result of this, industrial real estate in an overarching sense, and storage facilities of multiple types, have seen increased investment and development demand. Within the self storage space, currently 1.4 Million sf is in the active development pipeline. Atlanta is one of the largest cold storage markets in the country, with 10 Million sf of product currently, and a strong agricultural and food processing ecosystem supporting the market. Within the industrial outdoor storage sector, the market has seen national firms targeting investments locally, as the once niche sector attracts institutional level attention. 

As the market continues to grow, there is investment potential and a need for new product across these subareas of the industrial sector, though they are not without specific headwinds. A rising sense of NIMBYISM, zoning and entitlement hurdles have made new development more complex within this ecosystem. While demand is high and continuing to rise, new construction activity has already taken notice. Join Bisnow, and our assembled panelists, as we plan to detail how firms are overcoming pressing issues and realizing investment opportunity within the storage landscape locally to better position you for your next deal. 

What You'll Learn:

• With over 1 Million sf of active projects in the self storage pipeline, what future development demand exists for these types of assets in the metro area?
• How are developers and investors choosing identifying optimal sites for self storage facilities?
• How can zoning and entitlement hurdles be navigated in areas that may be less welcoming for self storage? 
• What design and development needs exist for future cold storage facilities as supply chain demands shift?
• With aging inventory, yet higher vacancy compared to markets of similar size, what is the outlook for future cold storage investment potential locally?
• How are ios investors navigating the rush of institutional capital into the space? 
• With elevated interest rates and cap rate compression for ios assets, what is the short term acquisition outlook for the region?
• How are ios developers tackling site selection and hesitant municipalities to bring new product to market?
