The data center boom is creating a new wave of industrial real estate demand. Industrial properties within 5–10 miles of data centers are seeing stronger leasing activity, with vendors sometimes paying higher rents to be nearby. Last year, 146 U.S. warehouse leases over 500,000 square feet were signed, up 31% year over year. As AI and data centers expand, demand is growing for nearby warehouses supporting equipment distribution, cooling systems, power management and other critical services.
