Avison Young unveils U.S. Manufacturing Investment Tracker to monitor industrial projects of $100M+ nationwide

New proprietary dashboard delivers weekly investment activity and how it will reshape U.S. industrial markets

Chicago, IL– Global real estate advisory firm Avison Young today launched its U.S. Manufacturing Investment Tracker – an interactive dashboard that provides weekly insights into where manufacturing capital is flowing across the country and how these trends are shaping industrial real estate and site-selection strategies nationwide. The firm’s proprietary database and dashboard tracks announced manufacturing investments in the U.S. of $100 million or more. To align with the eligibility requirements of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), the dashboard is retroactively dated to January 21, 2025.

“The industrial real estate sector is poised to receive a significant boost from manufacturing capital that will translate into facility expansions, retrofits and new ground breakings,” said Harry Klaff, Principal and U.S. President, Avison Young. “The Avison Young U.S. Manufacturing Investment Tracker gives our clients – owners, occupiers and developers a clear line of sight into where and how this capital is being deployed, preparing them for the next wave of industrial demand.”

The unique proprietary tracker was developed by Avison Young’s Market Intelligence team to provide insights on a national scale that encompasses investment dollars data by state, timeline of project announcements and by industry.

Tracker highlights:

• Tracks more than $3.3T in announced U.S. manufacturing investments, with breakdowns by commitment size.
• Captures the number of projects across the U.S. which currently is 114 and impacting 42 states.
• Includes filters by sector and region to quickly identify geographic and industry trends.

“Nearly every U.S. market will experience direct or indirect impacts from these projects and that demands a data-driven view of what’s ahead.” said Peter Kroner, Director, U.S. Industrial, Market Intelligence. “By consolidating these projects into a single platform, the tracker provides a clear, technology-powered picture of how capital flows are impacting supply chains and industrial demand.” 

This launch marks the latest addition to Avison Young’s growing suite of interactive, data‑driven dashboards designed to bring greater clarity to commercial real estate trends. The firm’s Office Busyness Index measures office utilization across major U.S. metros, while the Federal Property Pulse tracks federal lease termination activity nationwide. Together with the new U.S. Manufacturing Investment Tracker, these tools underscore Avison Young’s commitment to delivering transparent, accessible, and technology‑enabled market intelligence for clients and industry stakeholders.
