1. Industrial and Logistics Growth
E-commerce continues to fuel demand for warehouses and distribution centers, especially near ports and major highways. Investors and developers are paying close attention to these high-demand properties.


2. Mixed-Use Developments
Properties combining residential, retail, and office spaces are becoming increasingly popular, offering diverse income streams and attracting tenants seeking convenience and community.


3. Sustainability and Green Buildings
Environmental considerations are influencing tenant choices. Buildings with energy-efficient systems, green certifications, and sustainable designs are commanding higher rents and attracting long-term tenants.


4. Technology Integration
Smart building technology, automation, and improved security systems are becoming standard. Investors should consider how technology adds value and enhances tenant experience.


5. Flexible Workspace Demand
The rise of remote work and hybrid office models has created new opportunities for adaptable office spaces, co-working environments, and short-term leases.

Navigating these trends requires local expertise, market insight, and strategic planning. Rusty Melle at ITG Realty stays ahead of these changes to help clients identify opportunities and make informed decisions.
