As Nashville closes out 2025, the industrial market has solidified its reputation as a resilient powerhouse in the Southeast. With record investment volumes exceeding $2.2 billion and vacancy rates remaining well below national averages, the Nashville MSA continues to attract distributors, manufacturers, and data center-related businesses. This robust performance reflects a recalibration from pandemic-era highs while maintaining durable demand, setting the stage for balanced growth in 2026. Trends shaping the market Several macroeconomic trends are influencing Nashville’s industrial landscape. Nearshoring/onshoring and supply chain diversification have heightened the city’s appeal as a logistical hub. It is important to note that Nashville is strategically located within a day’s drive of over half the U.S. population. Locally, job growth has outpaced the national average, with Oxford Economics reporting a 1.1 percent increase in 2025, bolstered by gains in manufacturing, logistics and retail. Notably, Moody’s Analytics highlights transportation equipment manufacturing as a key driver, as automakers increase domestic production to mitigate tariffs. Further enhancing Nashville’s logistical capabilities, the planned expansion of air freight capacity at Nashville International Airport in 2027 is poised to solidify the region’s role in cargo throughput, supported by a robust highway network and a growing labor force. Despite broader economic …
The March 2 France Media webinar “Flood Zones & FEMA Compliance — How Developers Avoid Delays, Cut Insurance Costs & Increase Property Value,” hosted by France Media and sponsored by National Flood Experts, examined how flood zones and evolving regulatory requirements are shaping development and financing outlooks. Flood risk is often treated as a late-stage compliance issue, but it can influence site design, permitting timelines, construction costs (and cost expectations) and long-term insurance expenses. Flood maps established by federal and local authorities define development constraints such as base flood elevations and floodways. Because these maps are updated slowly and regulations vary by municipality, developers frequently encounter unexpected complications during permitting, including the need for additional engineering studies, modeling requirements and extended approval timelines. The webinar panelists emphasized ways that developers can mitigate these risks by approaching flood zones strategically and incorporating flood analysis earlier in the development lifecycle. Early collaboration can identify opportunities to cut costs and avoid delays. Watch this brief webinar to learn about common problems caused by flood zones, changes in regulatory needs and practical pathways to help reduce or eliminate flood zone requirements (to increase the value of properties).

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has reported that the U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, compared to the previously estimated gain of roughly 50,000 by Dow Jones economists, according to CNBC. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate slightly increased to 4.4 percent. The BLS has also downwardly revised the December job gains from +48,000 to -17,000, a difference of 65,000. With the revision, the U.S. economy has now posted job losses in three of the past five months. (The BLS also revised January’s gains but only slightly, from +130,000 to +126,000 jobs.) The healthcare sector, which has been the primary growth driver in payrolls, saw a loss of 28,000 jobs in February, largely due to a strike at Kaiser Permanente in Hawaii and California. Offices of physicians lost 37,000 jobs in February, while hospitals added 12,000 jobs. Information services also lost jobs (-11,000), as part of a 12-month trend in which the sector has forfeited an average of 5,000 jobs per month, CNBC reported. Additionally, federal government employment declined by 10,000 for the month, and is down by 330,000 jobs since October 2024. The BLS reports that transportation and warehousing saw a reduction (-11,000), with …
