Episode notes
Buy On Fundamentals, Not Speculation
- Do focus on fundamentals now rather than speculation when pricing has normalized and competition lessens.
- Try to act as a private investor who can move faster and exploit local market knowledge.
Constrained New Supply Supports Demand
- New-build industrial supply is constrained because construction pipelines slowed and build costs remain high.
- Limited new supply supports continued occupier demand and stable rental growth in good locations.
Demand Is Multi-Faceted, Not Just E‑Commerce
- Demand drivers are broader than e-commerce: supply-chain resilience, last-mile logistics and advanced manufacturing matter.
- Modern industrial needs power, EPC improvements and flexible space, not just big sheds.
