What You'll Gain From This Port of Houston & Industrial Commercial Real Estate Event
What are the current headwinds and tailwinds in the Houston industrial real estate sector?
What are we seeing in terms of industrial rent growth as we hit the halfway point in 2023?
What is the general state of debt and equity, and how is it impacting deals?
Even though market fundamentals remain strong, it is still difficult to attract capital. Why is that? How are market leaders souring capital in this difficult environment?
What are the key factors driving the success of the regional market? How has the pipeline, capital structure and outlook on deals changed over the past 18 months?
Houston’s port is critical to the national market regarding international trade constraints with constant overflow from other terminals, how has this increased port volume/TEU flow impacted portfolios and decisions?
Spec vs. Build-To-Suit Projects: Where is the demand? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach for investors and tenants in the Houston market?
Tenants influencing the build: At various stages of construction, what are the challenges to accommodate incoming tenants and their specific requirements?
In comparison to other gateways/port markets, where does Houston measure up in pipeline, capital and available supply?
Speaking to the capital side, what are the current market dynamics including shifting values, and reading on the future of e-commerce, and how are decisions being made?
In terms of business parks, distribution centers and last-mile service, what has proven successful, what has been challenging and what is to come?
What are some of the emerging trends in last-mile logistics, and how are developers and investors positioning themselves to take advantage of these trends?
How will a possible recession impact e-commerce activity? What precautions should be taken?
What are the challenges and opportunities in the cold-storage market for industrial real estate investors and developers?
How You'll Do More Business: Even in the midst of economic uncertainty, a recent JLL market report argues that Houston is still in a position to remain on top. The city’s growing population, active port and proximity to other prominent markets are expected to keep Houston at the forefront of industrial leasing and investment decisions. Development and investment remain strong in Bayou city, but a possible recession around the corner is keeping everyone on their toes. Join us as we discuss how the market is performing, where the activity is happening, the key to attracting capital in today’s environment, and how to gain an advantage in an active — yet uncertain — market. Enhance your business by understanding the role Houston plays in the industrial CRE industry and how investor and development activity is driving the need for industrial supply.
Who You’ll Meet: Owners, developers, investors, brokers, city and government officials, business consultants, architects, engineers, lawyers, accountants, bankers and technology leaders.
