Macro-Economic Trends Reshape Supply Chain, Positively Impacting Industrial Real Estate By: Phil Simonet, Principal
While some sectors of commercial real estate are challenged following the pandemic and an anticipated recession, industrial real estate has been strengthened due to societal pressure and policy changes. Societal pressures are creating the demand to bring back manufacturing from overseas. Several policy changes – including the CHIPS Act, and Trump-era tariffs — made that move more likely. Manufacturers of computer chips, pharmaceuticals, and other high-value products are incentivized through changes to tax code and import rules, which make it more popular and profitable to produce products domestically. A likely outcome will be suppliers of those components clustering around the high-value manufacturers, resulting in companies migrating to cluster near certain manufacturers. A final benefit to the end use, is likely a cost-effective product that is less impacted by shipping and fabrication delays. In the real estate world, industrial properties are poised to be in high demand in specific clusters across the United States.
