Today marks the beginning of Cary Economic Development’s 2024 InterCity Visit to Nashville. We are looking forward to exploring topics such as new development, redevelopment, public-private partnerships, innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship initiatives.

Over the last 28 years, @thecarychamber has visited 18 other cities and communities across the U.S. to explore best practices and benchmark against some of the top places in the country. InterCity Visits have been very beneficial to us here at home including; downtown revitalization, public/private partnerships, world-class sports facilities, and ideas to shape the vision for our future. The trip is a great way to meet new people including business and community leaders, along with elected officials to form lasting relationships.

The latest update to relocation company moveBuddha’s Monthly Moving Report found Cary is the top big city to move to in 2024, according to the latest mover search data.

The pandemic created a high demand for industrial space, which developers rushed to meet. As vacancy rates begin to creep up, the question today is what types of spaces are most in demand.

At the height of the industrial market boom, most developers and investors were in search of credit tenants to fill 100,000-plus square feet spaces. The underlying financial prowess of these large tenants makes them less risky tenants because they are much more likely to be able to continue paying rent in the event of a lease or market disruption.  But leasing to multiple smaller tenants can also reduce the risk of new development by allowing developers to diversify their portfolios. Using this model, developers can diversify not only through different companies, but also different industry sectors and lease expiration dates.

With so much development of large industrial product in the past two years, demand for smaller, flexible spaces for tenants may present an ongoing development opportunity for communities like Cary.  Companies seeking facilities in the 10,000 to 49,000 square foot range, or larger projects that require re-engineering or “right-sizing” due to funding constraints, are starting to look for space again.  It is my opinion that a community’s economy is stronger and more resilient if there is diversity in the employment, the industry sectors represented, and sizes of companies.  While some communities may focus on recruiting only the largest of corporations, Cary remains an attractive place for companies of all sizes.  This diversity offers residents many different career opportunities, and a place for developers to find success across all property types.
