While many real estate asset classes are going through
tumultuous times brought on by COVID-19, one asset class defies
that trend and continues to be in high demand by domestic and
global investors – logistics assets.
Earlier in the year, the Australian Financial Review
reported that there was an estimated $30 billion of investor
capital which looked to drive a surge in the development of
large-scale automated warehouses in Australia over the next decade.
JLL's 2020 Australian Industrial Investment Report forecasted
the value of Australia's industrial investment market to rise
by almost a third from $88 billion to $114 billion by 2024.
Hand-in-hand with this growth, is the recent uptake of
automated/high-tech logistics solutions by companies such as
Woolworths, Coles and Amazon which has featured in the news with
increased frequency.
