This building just started construction in Saudi Arabia.

It will be 1,300' tall (taller than the Empire State Building) but wide enough to hold 20 of them under the same roof.

When completed it will be the largest building in the world by volume.

The current Guiness World Record for largest building in the world (by volume) is the Boeing Everett Factory.

Scout Motors - a VW backed revival of the old American car brand - released their two new EV models today.

Their new plant will be in Blythewood, South Carolina, where they plan on making 200,000 vehicles / year out of the $2 billion factory.

The building is expected to exceed 1 million sq ft and sit on 1,600 acres.

Industrial architecture in the 30's and 40's was a thing of beauty.

The man behind a considerable amount of these historic buildings:

Albert Kahn.

In the 30's his firm designed nearly 20% of industrial factories in the US.

With today's 50 bps drop in interest rates, here is a helpful chart showing what cap rates are required in order to meet the debt service coverage ratios.

This chart is available on my website industrialize dot com where you can edit the DSCR and the amortization period.

Here's a crazy stat:

When TSMC has it's Phoenix semiconductor plant fully operational it will require 1.2 gigawatts of power.

Nearby, the Palo Verde nuclear plant produces ~ 4 GW.

This means that TSMC will eventually consume over 25% of the power generated from the largest nuclear plant in the USA 🤯

A recent report notes that an additional 1.25M sq ft of warehouse space is needed for every $1B increase in e-commerce sales.

Using a projection from Spotify in which they estimate e-commerce sales will grow by $1.63 Trillion (!!) by 2027, we may need to add roughly 2 billion sq ft of warehouse space to the market!

Here's a short video on it which also has links to both reports in the video description:
