Newmark: Data center growth drives industrial demand in Texas

by Andrea Zander

Data center development is reshaping more than the digital infrastructure landscape. As projects expand across Texas, they are creating new demand for the industrial real estate needed to support construction, operations, equipment movement, manufacturing and long-term maintenance, according to Jamil Harkness – senior research analyst, national industrial at Newmark. He discusses why data center-adjacent industrial is emerging as a more defined investment profile within the broader industrial sector, how investors can distinguish durable demand from construction-cycle activity, and why power availability, infrastructure readiness and local supply-chain depth are becoming critical underwriting considerations. He also explains how these powered industrial ecosystems sit at the intersection of real estate and infrastructure, creating both new opportunities and new constraints for investors.

REALM CEO Travis King: Why family offices are increasing real estate exposure

by Andrea Zander

Today’s real estate opportunity set is being shaped by dislocation, inefficiency and shifting capital flows rather than broad market momentum. In an exclusive interview with IREI, Travis King, CEO of REALM, discusses how the middle market continues to offer some of the most compelling opportunities because it remains less institutionalized and more fragmented, while sectors such as office are creating selective entry points as pricing disconnects emerge. He also believes family offices are increasing their exposure to real estate as they seek durable, income-generating assets in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, with relationship-driven investing and disciplined underwriting becoming increasingly important in separating temporary market disruption from long-term impairment.
