Unlike a general construction conference, this event is centered on the business of industrial real estate. The conversations focus on where capital is flowing, what developers are building next, how construction delivery is changing, and what tenants will demand over the next several years.
For Arizona, that’s especially relevant because the Valley continues to evolve into a national manufacturing and distribution hub.
