Summary:

Stay on top of today's rapidly changing market for industrial facilities. Just-in-Time Real Estate describes the latest trends in distribution and their effect on the demand, design, and site selection process for industrial real estate. It focuses on the types of facilities that a commercial developer can deliver, either on a speculative or build-to-suit basis, and describes the distinctive opportunities and challenges of developing on or near airports, rail intermodal centers, and seaports. In addition, coverage includes ways that the public and private sectors are working together on distribution-related land use and environmental issues. Case studies profile how developers have put these ideas to work in the states of California, Washington, and New Jersey, as well as in England.
