From the Current Issue Record-shattering demand for industrial real estate by Lisa DeNight Despite the unpredictable twists and turns of 2021 that complicated our anticipated return to “normal,” the U.S. industrial real estate market has flourished.

In fact, the sector is realizing its greatest performance yet: during the third quarter, an all-time high of 133.8 million square feet was absorbed nationally, driven primarily by third-party logistics and distribution occupiers.
