How long do you think the trend of office parks being converted to industrial warehousing? Somerset County continues to see more office parks being converted to industrial warehousing.

ye, Somerset has seen much of this. Land is scarce and the office market has really fallen off. I think this trend continues for at least 2 years. You will also see older industrial buildings converted to more modern facilities. Newark, Elizabeth, Linden and former industrial towns will see more and more of this.

Please post your questions for our speakers here. Thx

The recording of this meeting, as well as the presentations will be available after the meeting.

What are you seeing for energy demands by converting office and buildings over to industrial building functions? have there been additional demands?

How do you address the last mile to work employees getting to work when locating warehousing?

Are new warehouse developments beginning to consider incorporating additional space for driver rest and/or truck charging?

Todd, yes. That is a very important consideration for tenants and occupiers. EV car charging is important as well.

Is their any movement on the trend of multi-story warehouses in this region? Any issues you see with their application in suburban v. urban markets?

Stephan, power demands are definitely increasing in a warehouse. Much of it is tenant specific. A cooler/freezer will demand a significant amount of power. A standard warehouse about 1,200 - 2,000 amps. BUT, workers are demanding air conditioning and EV charging will add to the power need.

Can "Trailer Parking Uses" be described further in depth please? NJDOT would like to understand more about how and where these are being developed. Thank you.

Please post your questions here

Can anyone speak to the usage of pervious surface for warehousing development that have large trailer and truck storage needs?

what is the industry doing with regard to phasing out natural gas for heating?

Are the buildings being built primarily on spec? I saw on one of the slides that the tenants were unknown at the time.

For Prologis, is EV charging mandatory for your NYC projects currently being developed ? For cars only, or cars and trucks?

And a fourth point, driver benefits and amenities. Any discussion in that regard? It is additionally important to take care of the driving community.

What are you seeing/ hearing for utilization of waterfront for barge and other water based transportation to deliver freight?

What role does the private sector play in revitalizing brownfields? Is their a wait and see approach to see what Gov't does. Is it realistic to think that the private sector can clean up and build at a better pace than Govt has? Would brownfield redevelopment make a dent in land Demand?

Bayonne is Lincoln Equities

Office of Freight Planning would be happy to assist with barge/waterfront planning re: marine highway and freight planning.

Anne - do any of the experts have a history with successful 'Shared' overnight trailer parking, such as at malls or big box stores?

Maybe the TMA's in NJ could be more involved in the employee/labor transportation issues with the employers?
