Inside Industrial Real Estate: Middle-Mile Strategy & Market Insights with Zeke Faham

Inside Industrial Real Estate: Middle-Mile Strategy & Market Insights with Zeke Faham Inside Industrial Real Estate: Middle-Mile Strategy & Market Insights with Zeke Faham In this episode of Baltimore RE Full Circle, Yaakov sits down with Zeke Faham from Box Equities to unpack one of the most misunderstood—yet fastest-growing—niches in commercial real estate: middle-mile industrial. Zeke shares how Box Equities grew from a COVID-era startup to more than 7M sq. ft. across 35 properties by targeting off-market deals, capitalizing on supply-chain shifts, and buying well below replacement cost. They dive into how industrial real estate has evolved over the past decade, why middle-mile assets create stickier tenants and wider cap-rate spreads, and how operators can position themselves in today’s market. From tariffs and political shifts to AI’s impact on logistics vs. manufacturing, Zeke breaks down how macro trends are reshaping the sector — and where the real opportunities still are. Whether you’re an investor exploring industrial, a multifamily operator looking to diversify, or someone tracking how supply chains and AI are changing real estate, this episode delivers rare insights, practical strategy, and a clear look into the future of industrial investing.
