Why You Can't Miss This Year's Mid-Atlantic Industrial Summit

What You’ll Learn:

  • Where industrial leasing demand is strongest across the Mid-Atlantic.

  • How tenants are approaching site selection today and what building specs, location factors, and lease terms are driving decisions.

  • What the region's active development pipeline looks like, where projects are breaking ground, and what's keeping deals on the shelf.

  • How developers are structuring and capitalizing projects as construction costs stay elevated and financing conditions remain selective.

  • Where investor conviction is strongest, how deals are being structured from equity to debt, and what it takes to get a transaction across the finish line.

  • What the Mid-Atlantic industrial market looks like heading into 2027 as the national supply wave recedes and local demand stays firm.

Why This Matters:

Nationally, the industrial supply wave is receding, new construction starts are slowing, and absorption is outpacing deliveries and the Mid-Atlantic industrial market is one of the most supply-constrained in the country. Across the region from Maryland and the Baltimore corridor to Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Hampton Roads, leases are getting signed, capital is moving, and developers are selectively moving projects forward along the region's major transportation corridors. But getting deals done, whether leasing, building, or buying, requires navigating a more complex environment. Financing is selective, land is scarce, and underwriting has gotten more rigorous across the board. Join us as we bring together the region's leading owners, developers, investors and more to explore where demand is concentrating, which projects are moving forward, how deals are getting structured and financed, and what it takes to stay ahead of the market as the next industrial cycle takes shape across the Mid-Atlantic.

Join over 150+ Attendees from:

1788 Holdings, Ausblick Development, Brennan Investment Group, Brownstone Capital, Cannon Hill Capital Partners, CBRE, Charseas Properties, Chesapeake Real Estate Group, Chase, Clark, Cohn Property Group, Colliers, Columbia National Real Estate Finance, CoStar, Cushman & Wakefield, Dalfen Industrial Management, EQT Real Estate, ExCorde Capital, Fortress Investment Group, JLL, KLNB, Knott Realty, Lincoln Property Company, Longpoint Partners, MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services, Marcus & Millichap, Merritt Properties, M&T Bank, Morgan Investments, MRP Realty, NAI Michael, Pelican Industrial, Prologis, Rockefeller Group, TD Bank, and Many More!

Investing in Industrial: How Capital Market Providers and Investors are Sourcing, Financing, Underwriting and Acquiring Mid-Atlantic Industrial

Buyers are back, debt is available for the right assets, and the region's fundamentals are drawing institutional capital and private equity at a pace that hasn't been seen in several years. But underwriting has gotten more rigorous. Cap rate expectations, rent growth assumptions, and debt costs are all being scrutinized, and not every deal is penciling. This panel breaks down where conviction is strongest, how deals are being structured from the equity down to the debt, where capital is flowing, what's holding deals back, and what the Mid-Atlantic industrial investment landscape looks like as the next cycle builds.

The Industrial Leasing and Tenant Demand Outlook: Demand Drivers, Tenant Priorities, and the Submarkets Winning Mid-Atlantic Industrial

The Mid-Atlantic industrial leasing market is active and leases are getting signed from Baltimore to Hampton Roads. Logistics firms are expanding their I-95 footprints, and last-mile and flex demand is filling in gaps across Maryland and suburban DC. At the same time, tenants are more deliberate and strategic. Power availability, clear heights, dock configurations, and workforce proximity are driving decisions as much as rent. This panel examines where leasing demand is real and growing, how tenants are approaching the market today, which submarkets are winning,  what the next wave of leasing looks like, and what it takes to attract, retain, and close the users that matter most to the Mid-Atlantic's industrial future.
