“Black Creek continues to pursue industrial opportunities as we have experienced firsthand the uptick in demand for industrial space amid the ongoing pandemic as businesses increase their e-commerce fulfillment operations as consumers shift to ordering more goods online,” said Dave Fazekas, Black Creek Group’s senior managing director for the Eastern Region. “Additionally, more and more retailers are moving from a ‘just in time’ to a ‘just in case’ supply chain strategy to avoid future disruptions, which in turn increases the demand for industrial facilities located in close proximity to dense populations to meet delivery demands and rising inventory levels.”
