WHY THIS MATTERS

What You'll Learn:

  • Denver's geographically isolated location poses a challenge to distributors competing with Amazon to deliver their products at unprecedented speeds. To meet the demands of consumers throughout Colorado's densest population cluster, how are distributors ramping up operations in the Mile High City to be closer to their customers?

  • Tenants are leasing industrial space at a record pace. How are landlords attracting tenants and winning deals?

  • Customer demands have changed before and throughout the pandemic. How has this impacted development and investment trends? What type of industrial space is most in demand: light industrial, last-mile distribution, cold storage, manufacturing or biopharma?

  • How are rising construction costs and supply chain issues impacting the development of new facilities?
