DCT CEO Says Almost All Tenants Working on E-Commerce Fulfillment

Philip Hawkins, president and CEO of DCT Industrial Trust (NYSE: DCT), joined Nareit for a video interview at REITworld 2017.

DCT specializes in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing and management of bulk-distribution and light-industrial properties.

Although Hawkins says it is difficult to quantify the impact of e-commerce on demand for industrial space, he estimates that it accounts for about a third of absorption in the DCT portfolio.
