Industrial Real Estate: Logistics & Last-Mile
E-commerce penetration and supply chain onshoring continue to drive unprecedented demand for prime industrial distribution space across the United States.
We target infill, last-mile logistics facilities and Class A distribution centers near major seaports and inland transit hubs.
The Industrial Imperative
The industrial asset class has transitioned from a cyclical lagging indicator to a primary driver of institutional real estate returns. The shift from "just-in-time" to "just-in-case" inventory management by major retailers requires massive structural increases in warehouse footprint. For Middle Eastern investors, industrial assets provide long-term, predictable cash flows often backed by credit-rated tenants.
Sector Metrics vs Other Assets (Trailing 5Y Avg)
| Metric | Industrial (Prime) | Office (Prime) |
|---|---|---|
| Net Absorption Growth | +12.4% | -3.1% |
| Lease Term (Average) | 7 - 10 Years | 3 - 5 Years |
NNN Lease Structure Benefits
Most industrial assets operate under Triple Net (NNN) leases. Under this structure, the tenant is responsible for paying not only the base rent but also all property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance.
This provides investors with a truly passive income stream, insulating the yield from inflationary pressures on operating costs—a highly attractive feature for overseas family offices.
Common Mistakes by GCC Investors
Mistake: Overlooking Clear Height Requirements
Acquiring older facilities with 18-24 foot clear heights. Modern logistics tenants require a minimum of 32-36 feet to implement automated racking systems.
