While it's impossible to accurately predict the future, I approached this question from a few different angles: First, I asked the three smartest economists that exact question. Dr. Peter Linneman, KC Conway and Todd Hirsch all share some great insights into what they expect in the near future. Second, I reviewed industrial lease rates and vacancy rates of Chicago's industrial market going all the way back to 1996 (most notably including the Great Recession in 2008/2009). Last, I provide my own thoughts as both a broker and an investor. I've observed a lot over my 18+ year career and share how I feel about the current market and what I have planned going forward. There's an infinite amount of scenarios that could unfold but despite my apocalyptic thumbnail, ultimately I don't think there's going to be significant downside coming to the market. There will be downward pressure related to increasing interest rates, but personally I believe it will be a temporary aberration over the long haul. -- ⚡ Become an Industrial Insider:   https://www.youtube.com/c/ChadGriffithsCRE?sub_confirmation=1  📢 Join the Industrial Insiders Club and get personally curated news direct to your inbox.
