Your Next Real Estate Decision Won’t Be Made in the Office
How infrastructure, industry and geography are redrawing the map of growth
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 | 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM
The next generation of real estate growth is being shaped well beyond the traditional office portfolio. Advanced manufacturing, life sciences, AI and data infrastructure, quantum computing, defense, and other emerging industries are creating new demands for power, water, transportation, land, talent, and resilient operating environments.
This session will explore how corporate real estate leaders, developers, investors, institutions, and public-sector partners can respond to these forces and make better-informed location, portfolio, and capital decisions. Drawing on Jacobs’ experience across commercial real estate, real estate development, science and technology, industrial facilities, infrastructure, and urban regeneration, the discussion will address:
- How infrastructure capacity, resource constraints, workforce availability, and regional characteristics are reshaping site selection and investment decisions.
- What makes an emerging technology campus or industrial district successful, connected, resilient, and scalable.
- How location, infrastructure, phasing, and capital strategy must work together to support emerging industries.
- How CRE leaders can engage earlier in enterprise growth, manufacturing expansion, and regional development decisions.
- How advisory, design, delivery, asset management, and infrastructure expertise can be integrated across portfolios and geographies.
- How adaptive reuse, urban regeneration, and infrastructure-led development can create new value in established markets.
