With strong industrial leasing activity and significant development over recent years and currently, notably in the electric vehicle (EV) market, Louisville’s industrial real estate market maintains a steady drumbeat and forecasts continued success. The Louisville industrial market’s strong start to the year continued in the second quarter, and the JLL Q2 Industrial Insights report shows that Louisville remains a robust market. Over the past five years, developers constructed over 25 million square feet of Class A industrial space, positively absorbed 27 million square feet and has grown Louisville to a 90 million-square-foot Class A industrial market.  Another positive market indicator is rental rates have appreciated 40 percent over the last three years, with the direct average asking rate currently at $5.67 per square foot. We expect this to continue to rise slowly over the next 18 months due to leasing activity, low inventory and a slowdown in speculative development. Louisville is quickly integrating and expanding capacity for EV production, following a growing EV industrial trend across the United States. We expect the EV market to continue expanding, especially with Ford Motor’s commitment to the region and generating an EV presence at the Blue Oval City SK facility. A joint venture …

WINSLOW, ARIZ. — Atlas Global Development Group has released plans for I-40 TradePort Winslow, a 3,000-acre manufacturing and logistics park in Winslow, approximately 57 miles southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. The project will kick off the development of the I-40 TradePort Corridor, a planned 805-mile network of clean-energy logistics hubs. According to Atlas Global, the project aims to circumvent the increasingly slow supply chain performance of the Inland Empire in Southern California, and to address future negative impacts to the national supply chain. The park will seek tenants in industries such as advanced manufacturing, heavy manufacturing, logistics, transportation, manufactured wood products, renewable energy production and storage, semiconductor suppliers and aerospace. The site sits at the nexus of a BNSF Railroad line, the Winslow-Lindberg Regional Airport and Interstate 40. The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded a $974,000 grant to the project. Atlas Global plans to use the funds to support planning, studies and analysis for the project’s development, as well as primary engineering and design work. “These rural Arizona communities have long been overlooked, despite their incredible potential as central and essential pieces to the supply chain logistics puzzle,” says Daniel Lupien, managing director of Atlas Global Development Group. “The RIA grant …
