Douglas O'Donnell joins us for a cocktail to discuss his journey from being an ocean lifeguard and water polo player to becoming one of the most respected names in industrial real estate. Doug explains the mechanics of "tilt-up" construction and why he’s betting big on infill locations where supply is physically limited by the sea and the Everglades.
We dive into the technical shifts in the industry: why clear heights have plateaued at 32 feet, how to "manufacture" value by building bridges over culverts, and why a "box inside a box" is the future of cold storage. Doug also pulls back the curtain on his new $50M fund, focusing on opportunistic acquisitions and why he believes technology will drive a deflationary trend in interest rates.
