After several years in the top 10, Nashville was named the No. 1 “market to watch” in overall commercial real estate prospects, according to Urban Land Institute and PwC’s 2022 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report. Nashville surpassed its supernova competitors (markets with a population between 1 million and 2 million people) such as Raleigh-Durham, Phoenix, Austin and Charlotte. The report credits Nashville’s robust and sustained job and population growth, above-average levels of economic diversity and investment/development opportunities. In short, Nashville’s economy fared relatively well during the pandemic-induced recession, and its industrial market never slowed down. Nashville has been a top location for relocating and expanding industrial-using companies, as its location is unmatched for distribution. Fifty percent of the nation’s population lives within 650 miles of Middle Tennessee, with 24 states falling within that radius. This translates to a one- or two-day truck delivery time to more than 75 percent of all U.S. markets. Additionally, it is one of only six U.S. cities with three major intersecting interstate highways. Nashville’s economy is extremely resilient due to its diversified economy. However, Nashville is not immune to national trends that have affected multiple industrial markets. The cost of construction continues to increase, …
