Overview

Industrial & Warehouse Properties covers warehouses, distribution centers, logistics facilities, and light-industrial space. It has been the standout CRE sector, transformed by e-commerce and supply-chain reconfiguration into a high-demand, high-growth asset class led by industrial REITs (Prologis — the dominant global owner, EastGroup, Rexford).

Demand is driven by e-commerce fulfillment, supply-chain resilience and nearshoring, and the need for last-mile and modern logistics space, with rent growth among the strongest in real estate. It is consolidating around scaled industrial owners and remains a favored sector, though record development has begun to moderate the supply-demand tightness; data-center demand is an adjacent growth driver.
