Online sales leads to new generation of super-sized DCs

摘要

Spurred by an improving economy and a spike in online sales, distribution real estate is seeing a spike in demand, according to research by commercial real estate brokerages Jones Lang LaSalle and Cushman & Wakefield. Industrial markets nationwide have been recovering for more than four full years, with 15 consecutive quarters of positive net absorption. Last year marked a five-year high, with 168 million square feet of net absorption, and, with current forecasts, this figure could top 180 million square feet in 2014.
