Developers Get Creative In Closing Industrial's Last Mile Gap

E-commerce sales is projected to double over the next 10 years spawning vigorous competition for consumers and their dollars. According to Jones Lang LaSalle’s report, “Urban Infill: The Route to Delivery Solutions,” consumers are now being promised same-day and even two-hour deliveries which has required businesses to evaluate various urban infill options in order to quickly and efficiently reach customers in and around major cities. Commonly known as the “last mile,” or facilities which can quickly distribute the goods to the customer especially in urban and densely populated areas, these strategically located distribution points are important to efficiency and low delivery costs.
