Industrial infill hasn’t slowed down in Los Angeles. Start by touring the Goodman Logistics Center – El Monte, a brand new 1.2 million square foot two-building best-in-class development built atop a former supermarket distribution center.

As U.S. manufacturing moved offshore over the years, factories across much of the Midwest closed and new import-specific distribution centers popped up along the West Coast ports, particularly in the Los Angeles region. To accommodate this influx of freight landing at West Coast port destinations, vast distribution networks have been developed, including over 1.6 billion square feet of industrial space in the market alone. Infrastructure improvements to support the large influx of container volumes pouring into ports in Long Beach and L.A. have been tremendous as this was historically the first point of entry for the majority of Asia-sourced products. Learn more about the impact of the changing global supply chain on commercial real estate in this informative session.

Local grocery delivery groups have begun occupying significant space in last-mile facilities in recent years. Large-scale cold storage and food/beverage is mainly non-traded real estate that is very costly and very customized; however, the vast majority of the real estate is very old and in need of redevelopment. Some traditional industrial developers have built speculative cold storage to keep up with demand, although different uses (fruit and flowers, grocery, pharmaceuticals, etc.) and geography require distinct building specifications. Get up to speed on the latest in temperature-controlled industrial buildings including the market drivers of this trend.

California residents will vote on a ballot initiative to increase the property tax burden on commercial real estate by lifting the protections of Proposition 13. If the initiative is adopted in November 2020, commercial real estate in California would pay an estimated $11 billion in additional property taxes. This would not only affect every commercial and industrial owner, but their tenants as well. The cost of doing business with a California business or vendors would dramatically increase. This session will focus on the negative impact the initiative would have on our industry if adopted, and the industry’s strategy to defeat the initiative.
