Why Asia’s booming logistics property market will only benefit select investors
- The sector’s stellar performance compared with other commercial real estate assets is attracting a flood of capital seeking profit, pushing prices up and rental yield down
- The real challenge is the scarcity of institutional-grade assets, which makes it hard for investors to achieve scale at pace. Investors with deep pockets have the advantage
