Thought Leadership: Chris Trosper on Industrial Growth Opportunities in Des Moines

During a commercial real estate panel sponsored by Des Moines’ Business Record, Chris Trosper provided his perspective on growth within the industrial market for the remainder of 2025.

Lastly, the industrial market will ultimately experience a reversion back to long-term positive growth.
