    Developing New Industrial Properties, Warehouses, and Truck Terminals

    Tell us about Modiv and what you do to support manufacturing in America. What kinds of clients use your services? (companies that don’t want to invest in real estate, companies in transition, etc?) Does this include other industrial properties such as trucking terminals and warehouses? How do these properties differ from one another? Let’s talk about the language of real estate. What is a long-term net lease? What is a REIT? Where are most of your properties located? Why the heartland? What industries are most active now? Automotive? Plastics? Semiconductors? There is a lot of buzz about a coming “manufacturing supercycle” because of the billions of dollars being pumped into the economy through the Inflation Reduction Act, the Chips and Science Act, and the Infrastructure Act – and from Americans’ preference for products made in America. Is this translating into an upturn in demand in industrial real estate? Follow the Rethink Reshoring Podcast Other FreightWaves Shows Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Laredo, TX - the Largest US Commercial Border Crossing in America

    While many companies are reshoring, many others are nearshoring to Mexico. How does a company make the decision to reshore or nearshore production? There are several commercial border crossings between the US and Mexico. Why is Laredo so important? What are the statistics about goods in cross-border trade? I know that you spent some time in Laredo two weeks ago. Why were you there and what did you see? Are there restrictions on trucks moving across the border in either direction? What are the operations like? How is all this growth related to reshoring/nearshoring? What about immigration? How does that affect the movement of goods across the border?

    Interview with Ruben Garibay, Executive Chairman of Puerto Verde

    How did you get interested in this particular border crossing as an investment opportunity? These border crossings with Mexico are seeing expanded cross-border trade and significant growth in traffic at commercial crossing points such as Laredo and Brownsville. Is this also the case in Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras? What are the industrial sectors growing the most in Eagle Pass that are driving the need for more commercial truck lanes as well as rail crossings? I understand there was a rail embargo last week because customs officers who were usually assigned to clear freight, were reassigned to process immigrants. Will the new technology at Puerto Verde relieve these kinds of processing bottlenecks? Will the Infrastructure Bill help with funding of this project What is the current status of the project and what can we do to help?
