The industrial sector of construction and development is often overlooked. Assignments are typically focused on understanding and creating business plans for residential or commercial spaces. This assignment tasked me with finding and analyzing an industrial development project of my choosing.
My takeaway from this assignment had a larger personal impact than I had anticipated. I have worked form commercial and multifamily developers for the entirety of my professional life. The majority of assignments in this major had their focus rooted in non-industrial development. This is the first assignment where I was asked to review the potential for development in the industrial sector. The research I conducted for this assignment made me question what it is that I would ultimately like to do for my career. It opened my eyes to the idea that there are other options besides just working as a commercial or multifamily developer. This assignment showed me that there is potential for success in many different areas and that I should widen my horizons when looking to the future.
