Is logistic real estate a worthwhile investment channel for entrepreneurs?

[:he]Logistics warehouses have undergone major changes over the years, leading to specialization in the field. Does a planning strategy that is made while precisely adapting to the customer’s needs leave room for entrepreneurship in the field? Yair Levy talks about the feasibility of investing in the field of logistics real estate iv_load_policy=3&loop=0&rel=0&showinfo=0&theme=light&disablekb=1″ width=”100%” height=”290″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”> In the early 2000s, the logistics real estate market was an attractive target for a small number of entrepreneurs with specific expertise in the subject. Since then, there have been quite a few technological and demographic changes and the question arises: Is logistics real estate still a worthwhile investment channel? From the 1960s to the end of the 1980s , most of the storage areas that were established were inside converted industrial areas. The waves of immigration to Israel in the 1990s and the increase in the standard of living increased the volume of trade. In addition, technological development allowed for the optimization of working methods and partial automation of the warehouses. Companies realized that it is not possible to look at storage, distribution and transportation as three Separate factors and the field of logistics became a specialization. The 2000s brought with them dramatic changes in consumption habits with the transition to online shopping, and these contributed to the continued accelerated development of the logistics industry and created fertile ground for entrepreneurs to enter the field. Today we are at the beginning of the era of the automated warehouse where the stacker is specifically adapted to the customer and robots 30 meters high replace the forklift. This era dictates a planning strategy that is made while precisely adapting to the company’s products and needs, which drastically increases the investment costs. It seems that in the available data the economic justification for investing in logistics real estate needs to be re-examined.  [:]
