MIAMI—More than 200 industrial commercial real estate professionals gathered at the Viceroy Miami on Wednesday for Real Share Industrial 2015. With standing room only, Walter Byrd moderated the Industrial Power Panel: A View From the Top.

Panelists included Michael Brennan, chairman and managing principal of Brennan Investment Group; Rene Circ, director of industrial research at CoStar Group; David Harker, executive vice president of First Industrial Realty Trust; and Geoffrey Kasselman, executive managing director at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. During the panel, Brennan outlined five big industrial growth engines.

“While doing due diligence we looked at the causes behind what's going on in the market,” said Brennan. “Whether you listen to CBRE's research or CoStar's you'll find the broad-based nature of the recovery is remarkable. As a firm that buys in a bunch of different cities, the underlying causes are really important for us.”
