U.S. Industrial Tenant Demand Study

The14th annual U.S. Industrial Tenant Demand Study delivers unparalleled insights into the industrial real estate landscape. Drawing on JLL's expertise across 60+ U.S. markets, the report analyzes tenant behavior, location priorities, industry-specific drivers, and economic factors shaping demand. Key insights include:

Online Sales Growth: E-commerce growth is driving demand for infill and last-mile facilities near population centers, requiring high-throughput capabilities, advanced automation, higher clear heights, and expanded trailer parking to enable faster deliveries and handle surging order volumes. Consider all aspects of obsolescence.

Manufacturing & Build-to-Suit Construction Starts: Manufacturing expansion in Southeast and Midwest hubs is fueling build-to-suit and owner-user project growth, with facilities requiring heavier power infrastructure, specialized layouts, and expanded yard capacity to support advanced production operations and data center requirements.

Data Center Capacity Growth: Data center growth is generating new demand for hybrid flex/warehouse support facilities and driving significant increases in power requirements that tie site selection to grid access, while spurring secondary industrial demand for cable, cooling, and electrical components.
