In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Podcast, Chad Griffiths sits down with Aasif Bade, Founder & CEO of Ambrose — a industrial real estate developer based in Indianapolis — to break down what's really happening in the modern warehouse market in 2026.

Aasif shares how he launched Ambrose just 45 days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, why power availability is now the #1 factor when evaluating industrial sites, and what the record-breaking Q1 2026 leasing numbers mean for developers, investors, and tenants alike.

They also dig into the supply shortage coming for entitled industrial land, the rise of automation and robotics driving power demand, and why Ambrose focuses on the ”middle 80% of the country” for speculative development.
