Supply Chain RE has Record-Breaking Year

CHICAGO—Industrial and supply chain real estate occupiers and investors alike experienced a record-breaking year in 2015, and according to a new JLL survey, should expect this trend to continue well into 2016. The Chicago-based company says strong demand for logistics facilities should remain consistent globally during 2016 and rental growth should also continue across all markets of the world in 2016 and through 2017.

“Last year was like no other year on record, with historically high amounts of capital flowing into prime logistics real estate in key markets around the world, and there continues to be robust leasing by corporate tenants,” says Craig Meyer, president, industrial brokerage and capital markets, JLL Americas. “Last year was a peak year, and although investor and occupier demand may not reach those unprecedented highs, all forecasts predict that and we will have another great year overall.”
