Happy Holidays from Cold Storage List!

We hope this was your best year yet! Rest up. The cold chain keeps moving faster.

Wishing you and yours an incredible holiday season!

The Real Media family is growing!

2025 was another big year for cold storage. From billion-dollar institutional bets to quiet expansions by regional operators, the sector kept proving why “temperature-controlled” is now synonymous with “mission-critical.”

And we covered every move — deals, development updates, facility expansions, M&A, and the data trends shaping the food and pharma supply chain.

All written by real humans. By founders and editors you can call. No AI slop.

The momentum in alternative CRE keeps building, and we’re leaning in. Our plan for 2026? More. 

More coverage, more data, more verticals.

If you want to stay sharp across the broader alt-CRE landscape, here’s where to look next:

CREalts - over 30+ alternative CRE sectors in a fast, high-signal format

Self Storage List (new!) - fragmented ownership, rising fundamentals

IOS List - the backbone of the supply chain

Small Bay List - small, shallow, and mid-bay demand continues to surge

BTR List - today’s hottest multifamily sector

Student Housing Daily - the recession-resistant juggernaut

Data Center View - where your LLM queries go to marinate

Med Office List - maybe the last safe haven in office?

…and several more on deck for 2026.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting Cold Storage List this year. Rest up - next year is going to move fast.

Cheers,
