Summary

1) With the continued proliferation of e-commerce, how are South Florida's developers keeping up with the demand for industrial space? 

2) How are the two largest drivers of economic revenue (over $90 billion impact) - Port of Miami and Miami International Airport - expanding their economic footprint? 

3) What do the supply chain and logistics industries look like over the next 5, 10, and 20 years, and what's the impact on South Florida's industrial market?

4) With competition heating up amongst all CRE developers for land, where are developers looking next to build industrial spaces? Where are cap rates headed for industrial real estate? 

5) How does South Florida's position in a gateway market and as an international trade center affect the industrial market? 

6) What advances in industrial design and facilities, like multistory assets, cold storage and off-dock facilities, are there and how are they affecting the market?
