Industrial Appetite Zeros In On Tampa Market

John Dunphy

TAMPA, FL—Many investors who used to focus on more than one industry are progressively zeroing in on the industrial market, choosing to increase their position in industrial real estate or even commit to it exclusively. Driving these new players in the market is the strong long-term outlook for an unrelenting e-commerce shift in the supply chain.

John Dunphy, EVP at JLL believes the industrial real estate market has significantly changed over the years—and will likely continue to do so rapidly. The global e-commerce logistics market is expected to register a compound annual growth rate of more than 20% from 2016-2022. With demand for industrial real estate showing no signs of abating soon, more investors than ever are eyeing direct-to-consumer businesses and those related to it for long-term investments.
