Experts dug into the data behind labor and workforce trends in California’s Inland Empire and the surrounding regions, one of the most competitive labor markets for distribution and manufacturing workers in the western U.S., during a session at NAIOP’s I.CON West in Long Beach, California. However, alternative markets like Phoenix and Las Vegas/Reno could provide valuable options outside of the Inland Empire, especially when considering total cost modeling.
“The Inland Empire is arguably the most dynamic industrial market in the country,” said Patrick Daniels, co-founder/Chief Executive Officer, CapRock Partners LLC, during a session at NAIOP’s I.CON West in Long Beach, California. He and John Condas, partner, Allen Matkins, discussed how industrial developments can coexist with suburban residential neighborhoods.
Attendees of NAIOP’s I.CON West were able to go behind the scenes on a project tour of cutting-edge advanced manufacturing facilities in Douglas Park, an industrial, retail and hotel center that spans more than 260 acres adjacent to the Long Beach Airport.
