Chris Carlino (Scannell Properties) will provide expert insights into current national development trends, including the strategic implications of tariffs, onshoring activities reshaping the manufacturing landscape, and evolving cost structures. Learn which industries are driving new projects, the current state of speculative development, and strategies top developers are employing to navigate market uncertainty.
Brad Sweeney (STAG Industrial) will explore investment dynamics in today's complex capital markets. Is inflation still fueling rent growth, or are we nearing stabilization? Where are cap rates headed in an environment of sustained higher interest rates, and how are sophisticated investors adjusting their strategies to this new normal?
