Dokovic Contibutor in Bisnow Article About Industrial Boom Amid Pandemic
Principal, Dan Dokovic, was a contributor on behalf of CORFAC International in an article published by Bisnow Thursday, November 19th. The article, “Amid Pandemic Challenges, Interest In Industrial Assets Booms”, hits on commercial real estate market updates heading into the 4th quarter amid the pandemic and why the Industrial sector is seeing the boom it’s experiencing.
In the article, Dokovic explains that “efficiency will be more important than ever for many manufacturers impacted by COVID-19. Automation will also be relevant in e-commerce operations as most sophisticated distribution facilities include some level of automated operations…some of the largest distribution warehouses being built for end users like Amazon are being purpose-built to include infrastructure such as platforms and flooring for automated material handling equipment.”
Dokovic also touched on the spike in e-commerce during the pandemic as well as changes in supply chain. He goes on to say “the COVID-19 pandemic has shocked supply chains to their core. The notion that borders between countries or even states would be closed was never on anyone’s mind,” Dokovic said. “COVID-19 has brought us closer to a need to be localized and support manufacturing in our home countries. This will have a huge impact on the industrial sector as a lot of companies will try to reduce their inventory that is held in a global supply chain.”
