INDSSCTR Considerations

Industrial real estate serves as a way to play the burgeoning e-commerce sector. The sector has seen robust absorption from rising manufacturing data due to the tectonic shift in e-commerce purchases. Well-located industrial assets are the backbone of the logistics network, and e-commerce retailers are fiercely competing for space in these distribution centers as the sector is still in the early stages of absorbing the impact of the growth of e-commerce.

Industrial real estate has seen a substantial increase in rents and cap rate pricing, especially in so called “last mile” markets near major metropolitan cities. Economic drivers include: Exports; manufacturing activity; inventories; shipping volumes; business sentiment

Ownership is highly fragmented, and the public REITs own only about 1 percent of all industrial real estate. Despite long lease durations, industrial properties have short construction times due to less-complex building requirements, so supply tends to closely track demand. A shorter property cycle results in greater sensitivity to domestic and global economic growth.
