Onshoring's Hidden Winner: Industrial Real Estate

Analyst, Industrials
Overview
Demand is outrunning permits
Build-to-suit industrial demand near reshored manufacturing corridors is running well ahead of entitlement timelines, particularly for power-dense sites near existing substation capacity. That bottleneck, not construction cost, is the binding constraint in the markets we track most closely.
Where the scarcity value concentrates
Sites with existing heavy power infrastructure are commanding a premium that has grown faster than headline industrial rent indices suggest, because those indices weight a broader and less power-constrained set of properties.
