“Why not Me?” - The critical question our special guest asked himself at a pivotal moment in his life. To round out our celebration of Black History Month, I had the pleasure to chat with Gregory Boler Jr. who is the Founder & Managing Partner for KMT Partners LLC. KMT is a minority-owned Commercial Real Estate Investment Firm that sources and executes unique Commercial and Industrial Development opportunities. For most of his career, Greg has focused on the Industrial & Logistics Sector and has 15 years of commercial real estate experience. Over his career, Mr. Boler has sourced and executed more than 20M square feet of development, which is equivalent to $2.5B of stabilized value. Greg currently serves as the Board President for NAIOP Georgia, Member of The Board of Trustees for The Ron Clark Academy, and Committee Chair for 100 Black Men of Atlanta, Inc. The conversation addressed Greg’s inspiration for starting KMT Partners and the role that family plays in his professional drive. Greg explained the importance of paying your dues early in your career and building credibility through your work product. Most importantly, we were able to hear the story behind Greg’s first deal with KMT Partners and his?initial and ongoing thoughts after the deal closed. Greg’s Call to Action: Just Do More!

Time for Industrial Development... "Older industrial buildings are falling out of favor as businesses double down on amenities, functionality, and efficiency. According to a new report from CBRE, tenants in properties developed between 2000 and 2022 are increasingly moving into newer facilities, preferring features like higher ceilings, more power, and enhanced distribution amenities. This trend in industrial leasing is evident in the net absorption figures for properties built in the last three years compared to those delivered in the 22 years before 2022. On one hand, the absorption of industrial space built between 2023 and 2024 has reached 395 million square feet since Q1 2023, while properties constructed in the previous 22 years have experienced 17 million square feet of negative net absorption."

“At the same time, the study noted that major inland ports, such as Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas, where growth was more muted during the early Covid period, have seen anything from 5% to 15% asking rent growth. Zenith didn’t provide more exact figures from its proprietary rent database, and third-party data on the IOS market is difficult to obtain.”
