However, RL facilities often require more power than traditional warehouses, and some need specialized docks, ramps and secure loading areas. “With the explosive growth of online purchas- ing, consumers have come to expect the ability to return items,” said Marc Selvitelli, CAE, president and CEO of NAIOP. “Companies are still in the early stages of developing networks that can effectively recapture the value of returned items to minimize waste.

NAIOP pro- vides unparalleled industry networking and education and advocates for effective legislation on behalf of our members. NAIOP advances responsible, sustainable de- velopment that creates jobs and benefits the communi - ties in which our members work and live. MAREJ
