Houston Industrial Summit

Why You Should Attend this Houston Industrial Real Estate Event

What We’ll Cover:

• Port-Driven Demand & Site Selection: How cargo growth, supply chain re-routing, and global trade patterns are shaping site selection, distribution footprints, and logistics investment around the Port of Houston.
• Power, Utilities & Entitlements: How access to power, water, road capacity, and permitting timelines are now determining what gets built, where it can go, and how quickly projects can move from concept to delivery.
• Land & Development Strategy: How developers are underwriting sites in a market where land pricing, construction costs, and infrastructure risk require disciplined site evaluation and creative deal structures.
• Designing Industrial That Performs: How building configuration, loading efficiencies, circulation planning, and flexible layout decisions are driving leasing success and supporting tenant operational performance on day one.
• Manufacturing, Logistics & Tenant Needs: How shifting tenant requirements — from higher power loads to integrated office and amenity considerations — are influencing building prototypes and site planning across Houston’s submarkets.
• Development Challenges & Solutions: How the region’s top industrial leaders are navigating entitlement hurdles, infrastructure timing realities, construction cost volatility, ESG considerations, and long-term asset relevance.

Why You Should Attend and How You'll Do More Business: This event convenes developers, investors, brokers, operators, port leaders, and infrastructure partners to to examine how port activity, power availability, and entitlement realities are reshaping industrial development across the region. Port Houston is tracking toward another record year after already surpassing 3 million TEUs year-to-date, underscoring durable, port-led demand for logistics and manufacturing real estate.
