Podcasts about industrial real estate

Looking to escape the 9-to-5 grind and build true wealth? In this episode of the Jake & Gino Podcast, we sit down with Jens Nielsen, who immigrated from Denmark in 1996 and successfully transitioned from a 25+ year IT career to full-time real estate investing and high-performance coaching. Today, Jens is a direct owner or General Partner in over 2,000+ apartment units and 100,000+ square feet of industrial assets valued at over $250M. Discover how Jens started with a single $117,000 fourplex in Albuquerque, ran out of his own money, and used creative financing, joint ventures, and syndication to scale a massive commercial real estate portfolio. He also breaks down his recent pivot into industrial real estate, explaining the massive benefits of Triple Net (NNN) leases and small-bay flex spaces. As a Certified High Performance Coach, Jens also dives deep into the 5 pillars of success (Clarity, Energy, Courage, Productivity, and Influence) and shares how a near-fatal mountain bike crash completely shifted his perspective on taking immediate action in life. If you want to decouple your time from your income, master your entrepreneurial mindset, and learn how to navigate today's shifting real estate market, this episode is a must-watch!

In this episode, hosts Ted Stank and Tom Goldsby welcome Todd Steffen, market leader at KBC Advisors, to discuss how the industrial real estate market is both a mirror and a leading indicator of supply chain health.Steffen, a longtime GSCI Advisory Board member, brings a practitioner's eye to the industrial market, drawing on his background running distribution and logistics technology at Walgreens and years advising major occupiers and investors.The conversation spans how data centers are upending traditional site selection by competing for the same power infrastructure and land that distribution centers need; how sublease space and landlord concessions are creating hidden opportunities for occupiers; and why modular automation and AI are finally moving the needle on productivity inside the four walls.Related links: Fill out Tom Goldsby's survey on warehouse automationSave the date for the Fall Supply Chain Forum, Nov. 10–12 Download free white papers from UT experts Become a GSCI partner to learn, network, and recruit with the top supply chain education institution in North America  Join the Advanced Supply Chain Collaborative to explore advanced concepts in SCM with top industry experts and scholars   Follow GSCI on LinkedIn   Subscribe to GSCI's monthly newsletter    Read the latest news and insights from GSCI Text the Tennessee on Supply Chain Management team!

Is the "unsexy" side of real estate actually the most profitable? While most investors are getting burned in the "dumpster fire" of multifamily syndications or fighting over crowded RV parks and self-storage units, a quiet revolution is happening in small-bay industrial real estate. In this episode, we sit down with Graham Story and Jesse Durham, two North Carolina-based investors and brokers who have cracked the code on high-cash-flow industrial warehouses. From serving as an Army officer to navigating the world of CCIMs, Jesse and Graham share their "origin story" of moving from high-headache residential Airbnbs to the high-margin world of Triple Net (NNN) industrial leases. They break down the exact math of how they forced $175,000 in equity on a single building just by signing a lease, and why they prefer "mom and pop" tenants over big-box retailers. If you want to learn how to find deals on Facebook Marketplace, structure 10% down seller financing, and use the "substitution of collateral" hack to build a portfolio with zero money out of pocket, this is the episode for you. Key Topics Covered:The Multi-Family "Dumpster Fire" vs. Industrial: Why industrial is a "little-known" asset class that adds more zeros to your bottom line with less competition. Forced Appreciation Secrets: How a single $3,000/month lease jumped a property value from $250k to $425k instantly. The Power of Triple Net (NNN) Leases: Why you'll never have to worry about "toilets, tenants, and trash" when the tenant pays the taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Creative Financing 101: A breakdown of their "cookie-cutter" seller financing offer: 10% down, 5.5% interest, and a 25-year amortization. The "Substitution of Collateral" Hack: A rare commercial strategy that allows you to move debt between properties to keep buying more buildings. Finding Tenants on Facebook: Why Facebook Marketplace is outperforming LoopNet and Crexi for small-bay industrial spaces. Due Diligence Essentials: Why you need a "Phase 1" environmental report and why OSHA is not your friend. Small-bay industrial real estate is the "path of progress" for investors who want stable, long-term cash flow without the volatility of residential markets. Whether you are driving for dollars in your own backyard or looking to scale across the state, Graham and Jesse prove that you don't need millions to start—you just need the right niche. The Commercial Real Estate Blueprint Program is an 8-week cohort for people who want to start buying commercial real estate. Weekly group calls, a one-on-one strategy session, plus the templates and scripts Graham and Jesse use to source and close deals. You'll leave with a defined buy box, a working prospecting system, and the confidence to send your first LOI. The first cohort starts in early June and is capped at 10 spots.

Kathy Fettke breaks down a surprising trend in commercial real estate—AI and automation aren't reducing warehouse demand… they're expanding it. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy unpacks new April 2026 data from CommercialCafe and Yardi Research showing how robotics, faster delivery expectations, and growing power demands are reshaping the industrial market.

NAIOP Washington on Industrial Development: Changing Perceptions, Policy Headwinds, and an Economic Impact Study  Bill Condon and Matt McGregor host NAIOP Washington guests Drew Zaborowski (Bear Creek Real Estate Development) and Carter Nelson (NAIOP WA) to discuss challenges facing industrial development in the state of Washington. They describe persistent misconceptions that industrial means outdated, polluting factories and growing anti-industrial rhetoric driving local dock-door restrictions, size limits, and moratoriums often enacted without data on lost tax revenue. Key headwinds include broad, vague environmental justice policies that can shift responsibility for past impacts to new developers, the 2021 energy code adding roughly $5 per square foot through electrification, EV-ready parking, solar, and testing requirements, as well as the grid-capacity limits that force costly infrastructure upgrades. They highlight Pierce County as constructive to work with and explain NAIOP's industrial economic impact study (available on NAIOP WA's website) as a data tool to counter "low-wage job" claims and support advocacy, funding, and member involvement. 0:00 Introduction to the guests and NAIOP WA 2:15 Drew Zaborowski's background and role in government affairs 5:05 Legislative headwinds and anti-industrial rhetoric 7:45 Environmental justice and the burden on new development 10:15 Debunking the low wage job myth in industrial sectors 12:50 Modern facilities vs the old factory perception 15:10 The impact of the 2021 energy code on development costs 18:25 Power grid capacity and utility challenges 20:45 Success stories in Pierce County and Frederickson 22:15 The NAIOP Industrial Economic Impact Study 23:00 How to get involved and support advocacy efforts

Our guest on this week's episode is Ian Massey, Head of Corporate Intelligence, EMEA, S-RM. As the war against Iran continues, supply chains feel the effects – whether that is oil tankers stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, disruptions to air cargo flying through the Middle East, or many other impacts that conflicts of this time bring. Victoria Kickham talks with this week's guest about these effects and potential risk scenarios.  For years upon years, importers have rented warehouse space near ports, because of course, ships would bring freight to US shores, and they needed a convenient space to store those goods. However, as Ben Ames reports, that conventional wisdom now seems to be shifting. The industrial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield says that for the year of 2025,  “port-proximate” industrial markets captured that segment's lowest market share in the past 15 years. We explain where these distributors are going instead and what is driving those shifts in location.Pharmaceutical companies are racing to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) across their supply chains, but the technology is not yet making a widespread impact., Victoria Kickham reports. This is according to industry research released this week from WBR Insights. The researchers surveyed 100 heads of supply chain from across Europe to identify key challenges and emerging solutions facing the industry. And they found that pharmaceutical supply chains are “performing but not yet optimized”—and that there is work to be done when it comes to making the most of AI investments.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Why are stakeholder incentives so important to understand in technology adoption, both in real estate and beyond? What gave James the confidence to spinout Warehub from his commercial real estate business? Why are modern supply chains rapidly changing the industrial real estate sector? What insights did James and his team uncover during the early days of building their internal tool that have been transformational for the Warehub marketplace?

Link Logistics' Luke Petherbridge and CBRE's John Morris dissect the powerful forces shaping industrial & logistics real estate. They explore continued e-commerce acceleration, the transformative impact of AI, driverless trucks, evolving supply chains, changing warehouse standards and much more.* Industrial real estate had its second-best leasing year ever in 2025.* New demand is being spurred by e-commerce and reindustrialization.* Prime industrial sites are being developed for data center use, contributing to a scarcity of modern warehouse facilities.* AI and automation transform operational efficiency and future warehouse design.* Driverless trucks will eventually alter supply chain networks and spatial economics.

In this conversation, Dylan Silver and Logan Freeman delve into the complexities of commercial real estate, discussing market trends, the importance of local knowledge, and strategies for new investors. Logan emphasizes the bifurcated nature of the market, where different asset classes and locations can behave very differently. He also highlights the significance of long-term investment perspectives and the rising demand for industrial real estate, particularly due to onshoring trends. The discussion wraps up with insights into emerging projects and the importance of staying informed in the ever-evolving real estate landscape.   Professional Real Estate Investors - How we can help you: Investor Fuel Mastermind:  Learn more about the Investor Fuel Mastermind, including 100% deal financing, massive discounts from vendors and sponsors you're already using, our world class community of over 150 members, and SO much more here: http://www.investorfuel.com/apply   Investor Machine Marketing Partnership:  Are you looking for consistent, high quality lead generation?

Our guest on this week's episode is Lisa DeNight, managing director and head of North American Industrial Research for Newmark. Before a company can manufacture and distribute a product, they need the proper building designed to house their operations. That is where the industrial real estate market comes in. Like the home real estate market there are ebbs and flows depending on the economy and other factors. But there are signs for hope in the industrial real estate market in 2026, as our guest shares the latest industry trends and research.This week The National Association of Manufacturers shared new research that shows that the lack of spending on our nation's infrastructure is affecting manufacturing across the country. NAM says that highway congestion and delays in freight carrying finished goods are having big impacts on our economy and that there is a need to invest further in our crumbling infrastructure. They suggest where to focus attention this year.Research released this week tracks a turning point in supply chain strategy as organizations start to prioritize speed of execution as their main source of competitive advantage these days. That's according to research from supply chain software provider Infios. The company surveyed 100 U.S.-based supply chain leaders and found that nearly 80% said fast, dynamic execution—rather than planning or visibility alone—is their best competitive weapon in today's volatile marketplace.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

The trucking industry operates on razor-thin margins and highly optimized schedules. Think free delivery from click to your door in 4 hours. Decarbonizing that kind of industry requires more than green intentions—it requires a highly reliable solution that drives real economic value. In the push to electrify large trucks, we often focus on the vehicles. But this rollout requires industrial-scale access to electricity in the context of an often-challenged distribution grid.My guest today is Patrick Sullivan, CEO of EV Realty.  Building on decades of renewable energy development experience, navigating electricity grid constraints, Patrick and team are enabling the EV semi-truck rollout today.We discuss the coming wave of EV trucks, the realities of the freight supply chain, and how EV Realty is building a network that works for the bottom line, local communities, and the broader climate.Links:EV Realty WebsitePatrick Sullivan – CEO of EV RealtyEpisode recorded  Email your feedback to Chad, Gil, Hilary, and Guy at climatepositive@hasi.com.

Our guest on this week's episode is Bill Catania, founder & CEO of OneRail. Christmas will be here before we know it – just a couple of weeks to go. For shippers, that means one final push to get all of those future presents where they need to be. What are the trends driving this year's peak season? Our guest shares what he has seen from his base of retail customers.  Ben Ames shares about a new report from industrial  real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield that says that 2026 could be a little better, at least in terms of commercial real estate than it has been his past year. That category includes office, industrial, multifamily, and retail, so a broad area but it includes things like the warehouses and brick and mortar stores that we cover for the magazine. They said that after the “extraordinary macroeconomic uncertainty” of the past year, the U.S. commercial real estate (CRE) sector could enter 2026 with renewed momentum, clearer visibility, and growing optimism - and a lot of it has to do with the growth of AI data centers.One of Victoria Kickham's stories in the December issue of DC Velocity deals with automated truck loading and unloading. This is a topic that's of growing interest across the industry; we see more and more robotics vendors tackling this physically demanding job – which many in the industry will tell you is probably the worst job in the warehouse. The story also digs into the rising cost of warehouse labor and how new approaches to robotics can help with that – specifically, the rise of robotics-as-a-service models and special leasing programs can help alleviate the capital expenses involved in purchasing robotics.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Now at 29, Henry has been a part of over $500 Million in real estate transactions, owns several investment properties, and travels the world while selling over $100 million a year personally. His life wasn't always like this. Henry was depressed from the age of 9, and attempted suicide twice before 14 years old. Stumbled into real estate after quitting his "corporate job" he had quit college for. Went broke 3 times in real estate, and built and rebuilt his team 4 times before his break. While over the last few years, Henry went from selling over 100 single-family homes per year to now 100% focusing his time on the commercial division of his team. His next BIG goal is to take his commercial team to over $1 Billion in sales annually. He credits all of his success to 3 things. First off, his insatiable drive to be bettering himself every single day. 1% a day adds up. Secondly, he focuses on relationship building, your network is your net worth is something he truly took to heart. Lastly, living in a state of gratitude. It's hard to have a bad day when you are overwhelmed with gratitude. This keeps him level-headed even through the toughest storms in life. Henry's vision is to create an environment of empowerment, positivity, love, and abundance for everyone he connects with.Connect with Henry:Website: https://www.henryeisenstein.com/YouTube channel:    / @henryeisenstein  --

Our guest on this week's episode is Amanda Hedberg, vice president of Strategic Initiatives at Aspire, a Chicago non-profit organization that works to place people with disabilities into the labor market. October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. This yearly event began in 1945 and is now commemorating 80 years of acknowledging the good work that people with mental and physical disabilities bring to their jobs, including work within our supply chains. Hedberg shares how t Aspire trains people with disabilities find meaningful work, including employment in warehouses. Our DC Velocity editorial staff spent the week at CSCMP EDGE conference in National Harbor, Maryland, near the nation's capital. On today's podcast we will talk about what we learned there:Ben shares about a session on the market for industrial real estate, which includes warehouses and fulfillment centers. According to the speakers, the U.S. right now has more unused logistics space available for rent in the industrial real estate market than at any time in U.S. history. We explained how the market got to that point and what is being done to better utilize the abundant space.Ben also shares about another session on the rise of the “synthetic workforce,” which is a term for increasing applications in artificial intelligence, and specifically agentic AI. Speakers stressed that the Synthetic Workforce is not just on the horizon but is already here. Victoria shares about a session presented by Per Kristian Hong, a global lead at management consulting firm Kearney. His talk was titled “Harnessing Uncertainty: Global Supply Chains in an Era of Geopolitical Disruption.” His central message was that these turbulent times we're experiencing are the norm and that supply chain leaders need to recalibrate and move from forecasting to foresight.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains.

In this week's episode Ron walked through his track record of about $25M in partner-equity deals with no LP syndications, where he typically sells at a 2× equity multiple plus cash flow. After selling most of his holdings this year (three sold, one small buy), he's retooling with fewer partners, longer holds, higher-quality assets with durable leases, and sites that include optional land he can monetize later.The big takeaways match my playbook: be fast to underwrite and offer, but patient until a real opportunity appears. Tighten NNN leases and keep meticulous documentation because institutions turn diligence up to roughly 10x a normal deal. Ron's recent IOS example summed it up well: bought two buildings on roughly 4 acres for $2.35M, corrected overstated acreage, reset a tenant to market before closing, secured about 5% seller financing, re-leased quickly after a vacancy (plus a roof repair), then exited about 18 months later to Blackstone for $4M+ at roughly a 6.4 to 6.5% cap. Looking ahead, he is eyeing an 80,000 sf Laredo distribution play with two years of term left, comfortable with lease-up risk given a low basis and easy demisability. We both prefer clustering assets in one submarket to cross-shop tenants. Macro view: the economy feels fragile, cap-rate compression is a maybe, and selective small IOS, sometimes all cash, can be the resilient move--
