What’s on Trend for Real Estate Development in 2014

real estate development trends 2014Like almost everything, real estate development goes through trends. Understanding the trends and paying attention to them is a savvy way to figure out the best location for new and re-locating businesses.

According to the Urban Land Institute, here are some of the trends for 2014.

  • Industrial real estate will get a boost as the US economy continues to improve and as retailers and manufacturers have made shortening the supply chain their top priority for the foreseeable future.

  • Warehousing stands out as the strongest prospect in both investment and development.

  • A move to secondary cities will occur as properties become scarcer and more expensive in larger markets.

  • There will be more available financing for asset and equity concerns which makes purchasing or leasing in smaller markets more desirable because those monies will go further. 
  • Industrial space will benefit from shortening of the supply chain through re-shoring of factories to the US.

North Carolina is seeing many of these trends already being applied to Currituck County. While it’s a smaller market, it can deliver on well-priced real estate--existing and buildable--with access to quality roads, ports, airports and railroads. There are many prime locations for industrial, technical and warehouse opportunities within reach.
