by Kristin Harlow

For industrial developers and owners, Kansas City is an easy sales pitch right now.  “Two years ago, we had to scrounge around [for capital partners] trying to get phone calls returned. Now, they’re calling us saying they’re ready to see what we’ve got,” said Nick Cook, a development manager with Panattoni Development Co. “You’re always trying to sell a story to these folks. And Kansas City is a pretty easy one to sell right now. When it comes to speculative development, we’re feeling bullish.”  Cook’s remarks came during the developers, owners and investors panel at the InterFace Kansas City Industrial conference, which took place Tuesday, Aug. 18 at the Intercontinental Kansas City at the Plaza.

InterFace Panel: Houston Industrial Market Battles Labor, Timing Issues as Data Center, Advanced Manufacturing Projects Grow

by Taylor Williams

By Taylor Williams New development within the Houston industrial market is increasingly skewing toward data centers and advanced manufacturing projects, creating new hurdles for architectural, engineering and contracting (AEC) teams to overcome in terms of labor and timing. At the annual InterFace Houston Industrial conference that took place in late August at The Briar Club and was attended by more than 200 industry professionals, Jason Cooper, president at Houston-based general contractor Arch-Con Corp., immediately cited both of these issues when asked about the biggest challenges the industry faces today. Braylie Manson, business development associate in the Houston office of Texas-based engineering firm Dunaway, moderated the conference’s design and construction panel. “The most difficult thing of the past year, excluding the past month or so, has been getting highly qualified subcontractors on board that can keep the schedules that are expected,” said Cooper. “Schedules keep accelerating; we have to turn these projects over faster and faster, so [as general contractors], we have to be very selective about which subcontractors we use to avoid delays.” Editor’s note: InterFace Conference Group, a division of France Media Inc., produces networking and educational conferences for commercial real estate executives.
