Episode #76: Resilient by Design: The Case for Essential Service Industrial
Episode 76
Friday, 27 March, 2026

Front and Center returns for a discussion of Essential Service Industrial (ESI), a niche subsector we’re watching closely. Uma Moriarity, Senior Investment Strategist and Global Head of Sustainability, sits down with three leasing experts on the front lines of ESI.Uma is joined by Cory Sposi, VP of Sales & Leasing at Commercial Properties Inc. in Phoenix; Ryan Kelly, VP & Industrial Advisor at Colliers in Indianapolis; and Trey Weghorst, SVP & Partner at Apex Industrial Real Estate Advisors in Atlanta. Together, they discuss the resilient demand drivers behind this property type, why mission-critical tenants move quickly and stay long, how constrained supply is sustaining rent growth across markets, and why the diversified tenant base of Essential Service Industrial makes it one of the most compelling stories in commercial real estate today.
