I had the pleasure of interviewing Raj Patel, a Vice President of Commercial Financial Services with RBC to get his thoughts as a commercial lender with one of the world's largest banks.

We dove into a number of fascinating topics regarding industrial real estate and ended with Raj giving a fantastic overview about the value of actively participating in your community!

Here are the time stamps for the topics we covered:

1:22 - What is driving demand in industrial real estate?

3:06 - Any industries in particular stand out?

4:11 - Autonomous vehicle impact on trucking?

8:12 - Buying industrial real estate in a hot market?

11:00 - Financing land vs buildings

14:50 - Do we run the risk of overbuilding?

17:48 - Where do you see positive signs?

20:33 - Engaging in your community
