Join us for a panel discussion with experts from development, design, construction, and brokerage to learn more about the challenges and opportunities around developing real estate solutions for specialized manufacturing environments, unique material handling needs, and critical utility infrastructure.
Industrial and logistics development was on a tear nationally from 2020-2023 but faced a number of headwinds through 2024 with the national vacancy rate reaching it’s highest point since 2015. The state of the Pittsburgh market, as usual, is a little bit more nuanced. While Pittsburgh does experience it’s version of the national trends, our development picture has involved a lot fewer big boxes with lots of truck docks, and a higher share of complex projects designed to meet specific manufacturing and local logistics needs.
