Properties in the industrial investment market (logistics
and production properties as well as business parks)
changed hands for a total of around €7.5bn (Graph 1) over
the last twelve months (February 2020 to January 2021).
The transaction volume for the full year of 2020 totaled
approximately €7.1bn, which was in line with the previous
year (Table 1). Hence, the industrial property market
proved significantly more resilient than other commercial
uses during the year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the mood among providers of logistics investments has clouded over slightly due to the crisis, almost three quarters of those surveyed expect rents for logistics properties to rise over the next three years.
Scope surveyed 16 providers of logistics investments to assess their current and future situation. Together, the respondents manage more than 380 billion euros in real estate and offer various investment solutions such as special AIF or real estate funds diversified across different types of use. A quarter of the respondents also offer investors logistics real estate investments via debt capital vehicles.
The investment market for industrial property (logistics
and production properties as well as business parks) gained
momentum in the first quarter of the current year. The
transaction volume amounted to approx. €1.6bn and was thus
52% above the opening quarter of the previous year
(Table 1). The rolling twelve-month volume rose to almost
€7.5bn by the end of March (Graph 1). Around 40% of the
rolling transaction volume was attributable to properties in
the top 7 logistics regions.
Real estate funds invested across different parts of the logistics sector are upbeat about the prospects for 2019 and 2020 amid continued growth in e-commerce and its impact in reshaping the retail sector, according to Scope’s latest survey.
In the survey, Scope asked 19 funds to assess their current and future situation across the different segments in the logistics sector in which they are active.
While all 19 assessed the situation very positively for 2019 and 2020, those active in project development (90% rated their position as "good" or "very good") as well as in the areas of closed Spezial-AIFs and debt vehicles (80% each) showed the greatest optimism.
