France Media’s Southeast Real Estate Business magazine and InterFace Conference Group are pleased to host the 5th annual InterFace I-85 Industrial Corridor conference on May 19-20, at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown.

InterFace I-85 Industrial Corridor will focus on the active I-85 industrial markets — discussing investment, development and leasing activity, starting in Montgomery, moving through Atlanta, up to Greenville/Spartanburg, Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham, and north to Richmond.

Panelists will include top industrial owners, investors, developers, lenders, investment and leasing brokers, supply chain and logistics experts, as well as port and rail executives and economic development corporations, all of whom will discuss supply/demand metrics for industrial space across the Southeast; which markets are seeing the greatest amount of investment and development activity and why; where rents are now and where they will trend in 2026; and what end-user tenants are looking for today from landlords.

If you are investing, developing or marketing industrial properties along the Interstate 85 corridor — or if you are interested in learning more about the markets — don't miss this opportunity to network with the companies buying, building, leasing, and financing projects in one of the most active regions in the country.
