Record amount of industrial space leased in Nashville

The explosion in e-commerce and supply chain challenges fueled the demand for additional warehouse and distribution space during the pandemic. And while some shoppers may be back at the mall, e-commerce providers and real estate investors are betting consumers will keep a firm grip on their digital shopping carts even as pandemic restrictions ease, according to Jack Armstrong, an industrial broker with CBRE in Nashville.
