For most of the last decade, the answer to “we’re out of room” was simple: lease more square footage. That math worked when industrial rent was cheap and available inventory was plentiful. Neither condition holds anymore. Warehouse and distribution operators are now facing a market where expansion is expensive, new space is scarce in the
