Overview

Industrial Property Management covers the management of warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics and light-industrial property on behalf of owners. It has grown alongside the industrial real-estate boom, managing the operations, leasing, and maintenance of the logistics facilities that e-commerce and supply-chain demand have made the hottest CRE sector.

Demand is driven by the institutional ownership and expansion of industrial property (much owned by REITs and funds requiring management), with the work relatively straightforward (single-tenant, long-lease industrial is low-touch) but scaling with the sector. It is consolidating around CRE-services firms and industrial specialists; it sits within nonresidential property management.
