Boston’s industrial market has been called the most diverse in the country, with e-commerce companies, biomanufacturers from the area’s vibrant life sciences industry and more all competing for precious warehouse space.

In a report released late last year, CBRE noted that competition for industrial space in Beantown had turned “cutthroat” due to a severe imbalance between supply and demand.

CBRE said “insatiable demand for any available space” in Boston has continued to drive the industrial market during the pandemic.

What lies ahead for Boston and how will the city and environs address their shortage of industrial space?
