Episode 16: Commercial investing opportunities of the e-commerce boom
Phil and Scott discuss how the current challenges brought about by the e-commerce boom could create new openings for Australian businesses. With global supply chains stressed, making it harder to get products from overseas, and a drastic increase in shipping costs, the competitive advantage for importers is closing, potentially bringing manufacturing back on shore. The duo discuss what that means for real estate related to making and storing Australian products, as well as potential investment opportunities as online ordering drives demand for large dispatch facilities. Scott also weighs in on the Brisbane Olympics. The infrastructure development in the lead-up to the event will deliver a gain to Brisbane businesses; will a heightened global profile also attract overseas investment in the Queensland region?
