| 2:00 PM - 2:45 PM | View from the Top: The Outlook for New Momentum in 2025 We've brought investors/owners, developers, brokers, and capital market experts together to discuss the state of the Midwest Industrial market. Is development accelerating following a slight deceleration in 2024, and what property types, end users and markets are taking the lead? How is the overall business climate impacting demand? |
| 2:45 PM - 3:00 PM | Networking Break |
| 3:00 PM - 3:45 PM | Leasing, Selling and Financing in a Normalized Industrial Market Experts in industrial leasing and investment sales candidly assess the current transactions market. What does leasing activity look like in a normalized, post-pandemic market? How is the investment sales market progressing from the standpoint of pricing and transaction volume? Who are the most active providers of acquisition debt and equity? Have the Fed's rate cuts moved the needle on investor appetite? |
| 3:45 PM - 4:30 PM | New Directions in Construction & Design In common with other commercial real estate product types, industrial development and construction is keeping up with prevailing trends. Automation and other technological advances, sustainability, and a limited supply of sub-100,000-square-foot product all will be part of the conversation as our experts discuss the current and future state of industrial construction, design trends, and tenant uses. |
