Most of the largest cities in the Midwest, includingChicago, Detroit, Indianapolis and Minneapolis, rank in the middle of the pack.Geographic and infrastructure advantages support leasing by small manufacturingand distribution tenants in these locations.However, limited population growth, or in some casespopulation losses, result in less robust leasing among smaller tenants in localconstruction trades.
