It is common knowledge that today’s warehouse properties must be situated near major roads. And while they should be large enough, they must also provide secure storage and a convenient location.

The lack of vacant quality storage facilities and the ever-increasing gap between the number of existing and proposed future projects are being observed today. Lessees are experiencing problems. For example, warehouses are often unsuitable, not designed for the goods that are stored there.  There may be a problem that due to the high demand, construction companies will pay less attention to the quality of the storage areas, which would be unlikely if there were stronger competition.

Main issues for discussion:

• Is it possible to better forecast supply and demand ratio for warehouses? Rental rate forecast
• Commercial concept development and how to design a warehouse efficiently
• Network development of Class A warehouse properties

• Peculiarities of warehouse chain formation in the regions
• Modern technologies in warehouse property management
• Technical maintenance of warehouse facilities and how to reduce operating expenses
