## Resource

Kathy Fettke breaks down a surprising trend in commercial real estate—AI and automation aren't reducing warehouse demand… they're expanding it. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy unpacks new April 2026 data from CommercialCafe and Yardi Research showing how robotics, faster delivery expectations, and growing power demands are reshaping the industrial market. You'll learn why modern warehouses are commanding premium rents, why Dallas and Atlanta are attracting billions in industrial investment, and why older warehouse stock may face growing obsolescence. If you invest in commercial real estate, industrial properties, logistics hubs, or simply want to understand where institutional capital is flowing next--this is an episode you won't want to miss.
