As supply chains evolve and occupiers adopt automation, factors such as proximity, power availability and labor dynamics are becoming central to both facility design and investment strategy. In the second episode of Inside Industrial , CBRE’s John Morris discusses how these dynamics are influencing the sector and what they mean for the future of industrial assets. Morris serves as president of Americas Industrial & Logistics at CBRE, overseeing one of the industry’s largest platforms, with more than 800 professionals advising occupiers and investors across supply chain strategy, labor analytics, transaction services and project management. “It's about proximity to the end user in really every regard,” Morris said, pointing to the growing importance of inventory location as delivery expectations continue to accelerate.
