CHICAGO—We all know industrial is taking off nationally, but what is the picture when we drill down market by market? And what of the office market? What are the local drivers of velocity for both of these food groups?

In a lively video interview recorded during the SIOR Fall World Conference here, GlobeSt.com sat down with principals from Lee & Associates to discuss the specifics. In hand were Joe Vargas from the Los Angeles office; Mike Spencer from Columbus; and Doug Earnhart representing the Inland Empire office.

Of course growth in market dynamics—always a good thing—means growth of resources, and Joe Vargas tackles the question of how the Lee platform grows strategically to keep up with those market demands.
