Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:

The Bronx Logistics Center is located about a five-minute drive from Manhattan’s Upper East Side and about a 20-minute drive from Long Island, New York. Its 730,000-square-foot parking area marks the single largest availability of parking in the New York City market.

The parking area’s EV charging station component also falls in line with a greater overall trend in a rise of EV-related construction. The sector has been pegged as one of the most recession-proof in the construction industry, especially off the back of the passage of the $52 billion CHIPS Act and EV tax credit included in the $485 billion Inflation Reduction Act.

Meanwhile, the warehousing sector is coming off a record year in 2022, where starts totaled around $57.1 billion, a 19% jump from 2021, according to Dodge Construction Network. Though economists don’t expect that record-setting pace to continue next year, 2023’s level of activity should still remain relatively high compared to pre-2020 levels.
