The price of land has doubled in the last two or three years in some submarkets, CenterPoint Properties Trust officials say. "Land prices are escalating at a much brisker clip," Mullen says.

Meanwhile, Mullen notes the company has a supply of 3,100 acres. CenterPoint Properties Trust plans to build $1 billion worth of buildings over the next 10 years, adds co-chairman John S. Gates. "He who controls the land controls the deal," Mullen says.
