Subscribe to our newsletter "The Small Bay Industrial Insider": https://small-bay-industrial-insider.... The Small Bay Basecamp team recaps Flex Space Connect 2026, where 500+ attendees (up from 175 the first year) gathered, and Cody Payne revealed that 1,500 small bay flex deals are currently sitting in entitlement pipelines across the United States. In this call, the group breaks down what they heard on the ground: steel pricing trends from Rigid Global Buildings and why costs may stabilize after the new year, a new weld-up construction method that can save six months of interest carry, rising vacancy concerns in markets like Dallas-Fort Worth, and a genuine debate on whether small bay flex will ever institutionalize the way self-storage did. They also share early signs that a major institutional player is preparing to deploy serious capital into the space, and why that matters for every operator watching cap rates and competition. If you're tracking where small bay industrial is headed next, this conversation is the clearest read on where the smart money and the smart operators are looking. #SmallBayIndustrial #IndustrialRealEstate #FlexSpace #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstateInvesting #SmallBayBasecamp
