Why Industrial Users Are Taking a Closer Look at Cleveland

by Kristin Harlow August 28, 2025

By David Stecker, JLL As advanced manufacturing reshapes industrial real estate across the Midwest, Cleveland is emerging as a quietly powerful hub — offering scalable space, a strategic location and infrastructure ideal for high-growth sectors. While other Midwest metros have gained national attention for headline-grabbing investments, Cleveland is carving out its own unique path to growth, supported by advanced industries, a skilled workforce and a strong real estate foundation. The region’s industrial market remains competitive and resilient, even amid broader economic headwinds. Despite the recent move-out of Joann Fabric’s 1.4 million-square-foot facility in Summit County, overall fundamentals remain healthy, and Class A space is in especially high demand. For high-tech and manufacturing users seeking logistics-ready facilities in a cost-effective market, Cleveland delivers — offering the right mix of space, speed and strategic location that today’s industrial users are actively pursuing. A market of opportunity According to JLL’s second-quarter 2025 Cleveland Industrial Insights Report, total vacancy in the market sat at 3.8 percent.

Seniors Housing Lenders Welcome Return of Stability to Capital Markets After Three Years of Volatility, Says InterFace Panel

by Taylor Williams August 28, 2025

By Matt Valley ATLANTA — In an unsettled world, the capital markets have ironically proven to be relatively stable this year. That’s helped pave the way for the rebound in financing across the seniors housing sector, lenders say. But they are quick to add that construction financing remains difficult to secure for most developers. For much of this year, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has fluctuated between 4.2 and 4.6 percent, a relatively narrow range compared with the high volatility experienced in the three years prior. In 2022, for example, the 10-year yield started the year at approximately 1.5 percent and reached 4.2 percent roughly 11 months later. Because a large percentage of commercial real estate loans are priced off the 10-year yield, the benchmark rate’s recent stability is significant, say lenders. And there is potentially more good news on the horizon.
