NEWARK-–The New Jersey Chapter of NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, will present a Port Area Infrastructure & Logistics Update at the NJ Transportation Planning Authority, One Newark Center in Newark, on December 4 from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
According to a 2008 Rutgers Report, New Jersey’s logistics industry accounts for nearly 11 percent of the total state Gross Domestic Product. Port Area development and logistics are critical to our ability to compete with other states for scarce jobs in a protracted recovery.
Port development and logistics experts will answer these and other questions:
*How does trade growth affect real estate demand?
*How can New Jersey market itself as a distribution platform for North America and avoid being bypassed for regions with more favorable business climates?
*Which port infrastructure projects (pending and contemplated) will keep us competitive, boost tenant demand and generate jobs?
*Where is New Jersey benefitting from Federal Stimulus monies?
*How is the changing logistics network impacting our market share?
*What strategies are third-party logistics providers and industry end users employing for operations, warehousing and transportation services to meet customer demand based on market conditions?
Speakers will include: Anne Strauss-Wieder, A. Strauss Wieder Inc.; Michael Francois, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey; John DiCola, KTR Capital Partners; Robert Kossar, Jones Lang LaSalle; Marc Lebovitz, East Coast Warehouse & Distribution Corp.; a third-party logistics firm; and a representative from the New York Shipping Association/terminal operators.
