What You Need To Know

Over the past decade, industrial real estate has become one of the most strategically critical sectors in commercial real estate. As AI adoption continues to accelerate, global supply chairs are re-engineered, e-commerce demands faster delivery expectations, and digital infrastructure surges, industrial assets — including data centers, logistics, manufacturing and IOS — have become key economic drivers.

The Industrial Forum will convene executive-level owners, investors, financiers, developers and brokers to examine the forces defining the industrial landscape in 2026 and beyond. Experts will discuss how market dynamics, infrastructure investments, energy and power constraints, and consumer trends are influencing site selection, asset valuations, acquisition strategies and capital deployment across the industrial and logistics sectors, as well as who is leading big dollar deals and where real opportunities for data centers lie.

Commercial Observer’s Industrial Development Forum will deliver actionable insights on how investors, developers and lenders are navigating an increasingly complex and competitive market.
