INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE GUIDE
WELCOME
Greetings !
Welcome to our February Special Section in partnership with the Sacramento Valley Chapter of National Association for Industrial and Office Parks ( NAIOP ) and Certified Commercial Investment Members ( CCIM ) Northern California — this year celebrating its 50th anniversary ! — exploring industrial real estate properties , projects , trends and predictions in the 10-county Capital Region .
While real estate , and the economy as a whole , has faced substantial headwinds related to the impact of the pandemic , a few silver linings have emerged . The spike in demand for e-commerce solutions to address the needs of a people sheltering-in-place has accelerated the pace of development for industrial real estate and the growth of related services .
Comstock ’ s will take you inside the industrial building boom and let you know what ’ s happening in the market — which saw its highest quarterly net absorption total in more than two years at the end of 2020 , according to Colliers International — and what regions and companies are behind this industry transformation .
We ’ ll also delve into what makes our 10-county region such an ideal place to locate industrial projects based on our geography , infrastructure , workforce and transportation and logistics capabilities .
You ’ ll hear from numerous industry leaders from the Sacramento Valley Chapter board of NAIOP and CCIM Northern California about what trends they ’ re spotting and what they see for the future . Lastly , you ’ ll find a calendar of events for both NAIOP and CCIM geared toward education and collaboration to help industry leaders successfully navigate challenging times .
We hope you enjoy this peek into one of commercial real estate ’ s most exciting sectors .
