CBRE Maps Q2 2026 U.S. Industrial & Logistics Landscape in New Market Report

CBRE Group has published its quarterly U.S. Industrial & Logistics Market Report covering the second quarter of 2026, adding to the firm’s regular series of research publications tracking warehouse and distribution real estate across the country.

The report arrives as CBRE continues to operate through its four main business lines: Advisory Services, Building Operations and Experience, Project Management, and Real Estate Investments. Research publications like the industrial and logistics series are typically used by the firm’s brokerage and advisory teams to inform client decisions on leasing, site selection, and capital deployment across major U.S. distribution markets.

Industrial real estate has been a closely watched segment of commercial property markets in recent years, with logistics demand tied closely to e-commerce activity, supply-chain repositioning, and manufacturing nearshoring. Quarterly market reports from major brokerages such as CBRE, along with peers like JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, and Colliers, are a standard reference point for institutional investors tracking vacancy rates, net absorption, and rental trends in the sector.

CBRE Group trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CBRE. As of the latest session, shares changed hands at $142.06, up roughly 0.04% from the prior close of $142.00, valuing the company at approximately $43.7 billion. The Dallas-based firm is classified in the real estate services industry and operates across the United States, the United Kingdom, and other international markets.

The company’s research arm produces market reports across asset classes including office, retail, multifamily, data centers, and industrial property, supplementing its transaction and services businesses. Industrial and logistics coverage typically spans primary U.S. port-adjacent markets such as the Inland Empire, Dallas–Fort Worth, Chicago, and northern New Jersey, alongside fast-growing secondary distribution hubs.
