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.
