In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, I had the pleasure of speaking with Vance Lazar from Pioneer Architecture. Vance has a long and impressive background in architectural design, with a strong focus on logistics and industrial facilities. He walked me through his career path, from early work in visualization to launching his own firm that's dedicated to logistics. Vance prefers the term "logistics" over "industrial" because he believes the field is all about speed, efficiency, and true collaboration.We covered a lot of ground, including site planning, ceiling heights, bay spacing, and growing power demands from electrification and automation. Vance talked about the importance of understanding local markets and how design needs shift from place to place, like Phoenix versus Indiana. He also highlighted how critical it is to work closely with partners across all disciplines, whether it's engineers or contractors, to avoid missteps and improve project outcomes.One of the most fascinating parts was Vance's explanation of how his team uses Revit and advanced visualization tools to create immersive virtual walk-throughs. Clients can experience a space before a shovel hits the ground, which helps speed up the entire process. We wrapped up with a personal moment, as Vance shared that his son is starting an internship in logistics and that my book played a small part in inspiring that path. It was a great conversation and I really appreciated his insight.About:Vance Lazar, originally born in Las Vegas but raised in California alongside his identical twin brother Kirk, has returned to his roots by obtaining his architectural license in Nevada. With extensive expertise spanning six other States including Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky – Lazar's homecoming promises a blend of fresh perspectives and innovative designs for Nevada's Logistics Market.Reflecting on his hometown roots, Lazar reminisces, “Though raised in California, Vegas has always been in my blood. We used to joke that we were born on a craps table, with Mom rolling snake eyes.” Local stakeholders eagerly anticipate collaborating with Lazar on upcoming projects, recognizing his talent as a driving force behind elevating Nevada's built environment. With his license secured, Lazar is prepared to redefine the architectural narrative of his beloved Las Vegas and beyond, including the industrial spaces vital to the state's economic landscape.Connect:Website: http://pioneerarchitecture.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vance-lazar-1975a412--

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, I sat down with Rick Walker, a guest with an incredibly diverse background. He built a company to 400 employees, scaled a nonprofit into 50 countries, ran for Congress, and even had a one-on-one meeting with President Trump. Rick shared how he transitioned into real estate by rolling his broker fees into equity, which led to launching a $500 million fund focused on industrial development in Texas. We covered a lot of ground, including current market conditions, challenges around site selection and power access, and the growing concern of rising property taxes. We also talked about his new book, which is full of practical advice for men looking to find purpose and take action. One idea that stood out to me was his concept of choosing a "worthy enemy" as a way to spark momentum. His message about hope really resonated. Even a small amount, he said, can push back against any threat.About Rick:Rick began in the poverty of a two-bedroom home, with big dreams and low self esteem. Borrowing $1,000 from his Mom he founded and took one business to 400 employees by the time he was 26. He scaled another company into 6 states. At the same time he led a nonprofit expansion into 53 countries and added over a thousand staff. All in his 20's and 30's while dealing with personal and health issues. And even with terrorists threatening him.Now in his late 40's, he advises some of the world's most powerful families and for the first time reveals his simplified 9 Steps process.His podcasts and talks communicate deep insights into how mankind functions, rooted in his acquired knowledge of ancient literature, world religions, strategy, and the arts. His central claim is that each of these domains communicates truth.His background beyond business includes serving as Chairman of a $150MM charitable foundation and director of a Middle Eastern religious college, concurrently. He hosts a podcast featuring long-form conversations with the most powerful members of the US Senate, US House of Representatives, the Presidential Cabinet, Fortune 500 CEOs, billionaires, and fellow multi-domain polymaths.Rick currently serves at a private equity firm he founded with a group of wealthy families and is the author of a forthcoming book on seeing through the world. Residing in Texas with his wife of 23 years and three mostly teenage daughters, his free time is consumed by sports, ballet lessons, and secret milkshake runs.His 3:30 AM wake-up call helps fit everything in.Rick's Book (9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning):https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4LS82GP?maas=maas_adg_654449B84E0741CBE9174F2514BACA9C_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maasRick's Newsletter: https://funnel.rickwalker.com/optin?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=hostlastnameRick on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rickwalkertxRick on X: https://x.com/RickWalkerTXRick at Lumicre Private Equity: https://lumicre.com/ Rick's Website: https://www.rickwalker.com--

226: In episode 226 of the REtipster Podcast, I'm talking with Tyler Cauble, a commercial real estate investor and YouTuber flipping the script on the CRE game.

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, Jeff Deehan of Dymaxion Development shares how his passion for city-building (first sparked by playing SimCity as a kid) evolved into a career in real-world development. Based in Lansing, Michigan, Deehan's firm takes a hyper-local, mixed-asset approach, developing multifamily, industrial, and even community-scale projects within a 100-mile radius. Rather than chasing population or job growth trends, he starts with a property or area that's underutilized and reimagines how it can be integrated into the broader economic and social fabric of the region. His firm simultaneously tackles construction, development, and asset management, giving them long-term flexibility and the ability to solve problems in real time.Deehan discusses the difference between multifamily and industrial development, noting that industrial is typically easier to construct and manage but often faces more public resistance when outside traditional industrial zones. Conversely, multifamily projects generally face less pushback but come with different financing and entitlement dynamics. He also stresses the value of relationship-building in his market, spending hours each day speaking with brokers and local businesses to understand their needs and uncover opportunities. When it comes to capital deployment, Dymaxion maintains a 50/50 balance between acquisitions and development, focusing on long-term value creation rather than speculative growth. For those looking to get into development, Deehan offers frank advice: start small, avoid overleveraging, and ensure you're creating value you can live with—because development is rewarding, but definitely not for the faint of heart.Connect with Jeff:Website: https://www.dymaxionde...X: https://x.com/Jeffdeehan--

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, Chad Griffiths welcomes returning guest Deren Huang, an industrial investor based in Tulsa. The interview kicks off with a fun lightning-round game where Deren challenges Chad to blindly rank various investments (from gold and Bitcoin to Olive Garden leases and drive-thru wedding chapels). The playful setup leads to insightful discussions about risk tolerance, asset classes, and how personal experience and logic influence investment preferences. Chad consistently favors predictable, scalable investments like the S&P 500 and industrial real estate, while expressing skepticism about novelty concepts and collectibles like vintage guitars.The conversation then shifts into a deeper dive on Darren's evolution from owning over 100 single-family homes to now managing over 200,000 square feet of industrial real estate in Tulsa. He shares candid lessons from early mistakes (such as overvaluing clear height at the expense of location and functionality) and emphasizes key attributes like geometry, site coverage, and access. Darren outlines his buy-box, investment strategy, and how he creatively financed properties during volatile interest rate shifts. He also discusses his transition from residential to industrial, the operational benefits of triple net leases, and his plans to pursue infill development. The interview closes with thoughtful advice to aspiring investors: start by learning the fundamentals, get to know your local market, and always remember that even in commercial real estate, you're still dealing with people.Connect with Deren:Website: https://www.derenhuang.com/tulsaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derenhuang--

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, Chad Griffiths is joined by co-host Matt Carroll and returning guest Dr. Jim Tompkins to discuss the current state of global trade, tariffs, and how these issues are impacting supply chains and industrial real estate. Dr. Tompkins breaks down the rationale behind U.S. tariffs under President Trump, arguing that while they have caused short-term pain, they are strategically aimed at rebalancing decades of trade deficits. He explains that tariffs, when combined with tax and regulatory strategies, can strengthen domestic manufacturing and reduce dependency on adversarial trade relationships. He compares this approach to adjusting a basketball strategy at halftime—adaptability, not inconsistency, is the goal.The conversation transitions into a broader discussion of “reglobalization,” where supply chains are being restructured for resilience instead of just low cost. Dr. Tompkins outlines how companies should evaluate where to locate operations based on industry clusters, such as semiconductors in Phoenix, Austin, and Columbus, or pharmaceuticals in Boston, New Jersey, and North Carolina. He stresses the importance of optionality—diversifying suppliers and manufacturing locations—and points out how tools and government resources can help small and mid-sized businesses adapt. He concludes on an optimistic note, saying uncertainty is lifting and businesses should stop waiting and start preparing.--

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, Chad Griffiths interviews Charlie Stanton of Valley Advisory and Management to unpack the often overlooked but critical role of property management. With over 1.5 million square feet under management across Texas and Arizona, Charlie explains how property managers are the “catch-all” for maintaining properties, enforcing leases, resolving tenant issues, and mitigating risk, especially in industrial settings where unexpected problems like roof leaks, unauthorized modifications, and illegal dumping are more common than many owners realize.Charlie emphasizes that great property management requires not just responsiveness but also deep knowledge of leases, maintenance, and financial reporting. He highlights how the industry has evolved from handwritten ledgers to sophisticated platforms like Yardi, which improve documentation and transparency. He also stresses the importance of regular site visits, clear communication with tenants, and understanding the full scope of responsibilities tied to commercial leases, especially for smaller tenants who often underestimate their obligations.The conversation wraps with tips for landlords interviewing potential managers: ask about their workload, team structure, tenure, and software tools. Charlie also shares wild stories from the field, including discovering unauthorized mezzanine builds, dealing with vacant buildings, and handling risk scenarios like pothole claims. The big takeaway? Property management is far more complex (and influential) than most people think, especially in industrial real estate.Connect with Charlie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-stanton-cfa-b8172591Valley Advisory & Management: https://www.vamcre.com/--

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, investor Kip Northrup shares the remarkable story of how he built a 14-property industrial portfolio in Michigan from the ground up, starting with a childhood passion for aquariums that evolved into a water feature business and eventually led him into real estate. Kip explains how early financial struggles pushed him to buy his first property out of necessity, and over time, he grew both his business and real estate holdings by purchasing underutilized or vacant buildings, fixing them up, and holding them long-term. He discusses his hands-on approach to property management with his wife, their preference for owning nearby assets, the emotional ups and downs of investing, and lessons learned from both wins and missteps—including a failed bowling alley redevelopment. Kip emphasizes simplicity in deal analysis, the power of cost segregation for tax advantages, and his passion for working directly with tenants to support small businesses. Now targeting a 50-property portfolio, Kip is cautiously expanding into retail while maintaining his core industrial strategy and values.Connect with Kip:LinkedIn: / kipnorthrup Website: https://pbddevelopment.com/--

Leyla Kunimoto brings a rare and unfiltered perspective to today's commercial real estate conversation: that of a full-time individual LP who writes publicly about her investment decisions. She's not a sponsor, a capital raiser, or a fund manager; she's an investor allocating her own capital and speaking candidly about what she sees in the market.   Through her newsletter Accredited Investor Insights, Leyla connects with hundreds of other LPs and GPs, giving her a uniquely well-informed view of how sentiment is shifting, how sponsors are adapting (or not), and why many individual investors, herself included, are taking a more cautious, capital-preserving stance in the current environment.   Track Records Are the New Credentials Leyla made one thing immediately clear in my conversation with her: experience across market cycles matters more than ever. Sponsors who lived through the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), and made it out intact, view the world differently. “There's a certain level of conservatism they develop,” she said, that translates into more disciplined underwriting, more thoughtful pacing, and fewer emotionally driven decisions.   This stands in sharp contrast to what Leyla observed in 2020, when billboards at Dallas airports advertised real estate masterminds promising to teach people how to raise capital fast. She watched sponsors pile into deals with razor-thin margins, driven more by optimism than fundamentals. Some of those same players are now facing tough questions from investors.   Tariffs Are Already Affecting CRE in Two Big Ways While many LPs focus on interest rates, Leyla highlighted tariffs as a macro driver that's beginning to affect commercial real estate, particularly in development. First, tariffs are raising costs on imported materials, like lumber, pushing construction budgets higher. Second, she's watching what tariffs could mean for demand in the industrial sector.   “If trade with Mexico declines, what happens to logistics facilities near the border?” she asked. Conversely, if reshoring takes off, we may see demand rise for inland warehouse space. It's a nuanced picture and one that sponsors in ground-up deals can't afford to ignore.   Equity Is Cautious. Retail Capital Is Now in Play. Another shift Leyla is tracking is on the capital side. Institutional equity has pulled back in many corners of the market, and some sponsors are turning to retail LPs for the first time. But this isn't an easy pivot.   “Retail investors are expensive to reach,” she said. They also tend to ask more questions – and now, they're more skeptical. Many LPs are sitting on deals that aren't performing. As a result, the bar for new allocations is much higher. “There's a sense of caution,” she noted. “LPs aren't allocating blindly anymore.”   Floating Rate Debt Divides the Market Leyla sees a bifurcated sponsor landscape: those who are still dealing with the aftermath of floating-rate debt, and those who have the capital and flexibility to transact but can't find deals that pencil.   Sponsors with legacy floating-rate loans are focused on rate caps and marginal cash flow. They're rooting for the Fed to cut rates. Others are hunting for acquisitions, but the math isn't working. “Without aggressive assumptions, most deals don't pencil,” she said.   The IRR Illusion: What LPs Should Actually Be Watching Many sponsors still lead with IRR projections, but Leyla has shifted her mindset. “I don't screen for how much money I'm going to make. I don't screen for the IRR probability,” she told me, “the only thing I'm laser beam focused on when I evaluate private placement deals is the probability of losing money.”   That loss-aversion lens changes everything. She believes LPs are better off compounding modest, positive returns over time than chasing double-digit IRRs that come with a real chance of loss. “Making 3-4% positive IRR for 10 years straight outperforms hitting 20% on some deals and going to zero on others,” she said.   Stress Tests Are Private. Optimism Is Public. Behind closed doors, sponsors are more conservative than they let on, she says. The real pros run multiple models – best, worst, and most likely scenarios. “I always ask for stress test scenarios underwritten to the GFC,” she says, continuing that she used to hear sponsors saying such scenarios were never going to play out because the underwriting is too stringent. “I'm hearing a little bit less of that now,” she says.   Still, she's skeptical of any deck that doesn't acknowledge the possibility of a rent decline. Of course deals won't pencil if you underwrite to a 10% rent drop but, in some markets, that's exactly what's happening.   Cash Is a Position. Waiting Is a Strategy. When I asked what she'd do if handed a $1 million windfall today, Leyla didn't hesitate: “I'd keep it in cash and I would try to get very narrow on what my buy box is,” not because she's fearful but because she wants to be surgical when she deploys.   She encourages LPs to be patient and wait for opportunities that fit tight criteria. In an environment where you can make 4.5%+ tax and risk-free, “there's no harm in waiting,” she says. She also shared stories of seasoned sponsors that sold early, sat in cash through the entire 2021 run-up, and are still waiting because they can't find deals that pencil – that are still too expensive for prudent investors.   What Leyla's Watching Now Leyla doesn't try to predict markets. But she does monitor signals: The 10-Year Treasury yield Local supply pipelines Investor sentiment from her network of LPs And her biggest piece of advice? Focus on not losing money. That alone will make you a better investor.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

In this wide-ranging and insightful conversation, economist Todd Hirsch joins Chad Griffiths to discuss the economic uncertainty facing North America in 2025, emphasizing that the global landscape is marked by chaos driven by unpredictable tariffs, geopolitical instability, and technological disruption. Todd argues that traditional forecasting has become futile and that businesses must prepare for a range of outcomes rather than fixed predictions. He notes that while tariffs may incentivize reshoring, the timeline for such shifts is misaligned with their short-term impacts, leaving many companies in a holding pattern. They also explore how AI, autonomous vehicles, and shifting global trade dynamics could reshape labor markets and real estate, though adoption is proving slower than expected. Despite the uncertainty, Todd encourages optimism, adaptability, and a renewed focus on human connection and long-term resilience.About Todd:Todd is a leading expert on adaptability and managing the transition in a complex and unpredictable global economy. A visionary in his field, he inspires audiences around the world to re-think the modern economy, and directs leaders to re-imagine how to survive and thrive in an ever-changing world.He demystifies today's volatile and colliding economic factors and interprets their impact, illustrated by relevant and memorable examples valued by industry leaders.

E-commerce helped the industrial sector grow, but a spate of development has created challenges.2. Large-scale redevelopment projects, such as transforming former military bases, can yield substantial returns but require flexible planning, environmental cleanup and, often, partnership with the public sector.3. Modern industrial buildings are designed with increased clear heights and advanced lighting to meet present and future occupier needs.4. Highway and transportation access, utilities availability and environmental regulations are some of the critical factors in industrial site selection.5. Staying informed about local regulations, zoning restrictions and community sentiments is vital for securing project entitlements.

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, I had the honor of interviewing Nick Huber about his new book and his entrepreneurial philosophy. We discuss why speed matters more than over-preparation early in a career, the danger of chasing status over real opportunity, and how decision-making and sales are critical muscles to build for long-term success. About Nick:Nick Huber is an entrepreneur and real estate investor who resides in Athens, Georgia with his wife and three children. He started his first business, Storage Squad in 2011 and grew it to 25 major college towns before he sold the business in 2021 for $1.7M. While running the service business, Nick built his first self storage facility in Ithaca NY from the ground up for $2.4M. That facility is worth over $10M+ today. After Storage Squad, Nick started a real estate private equity and self storage operations firm called Bolt Storage. With his business partner Dan Hagberg, Bolt Storage now owns 2M square feet of self storage across 68 locations in 11 states. There is no mark to market in real-estate but the portfolio is worth well over $100M dollars today. More recently, Nick acquired a controlling stake with a group of investors in Somewhere.com for $52 million dollars in May of 2024. Somewhere has helped over 3500 businesses hire more than 6000 remote workers for 80% less than US equivalents. The business has 200 employees located worldwide across 9 countries including the US, Latin America, South Africa, the Philippines and more. In total, Nick's businesses do more than $30 million in annual revenue and employ over 325 people.
