David Ebrahimzadeh, entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Corniche Capital, says industrial real estate has evolved from a traditional asset class into a foundational component of U.S. national security infrastructure, driven by defense modernization, reshoring, and defense technology expansion.
The expansion of defense and defense technology has also accelerated demand for industrial real estate, as detailed in industrial real estate and defense expansion.
Federal policy has increasingly tied economic resilience to national security. U.S. defense spending exceeded $880 billion in fiscal year 2024, while initiatives such as the CHIPS and Science Act and expanded defense procurement programs are accelerating domestic production across aerospace, advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, and autonomous systems.
