Our Take on the UK industrial real estate market

The UK industrial real estate market has become a leading sector for investment, driven by increasing demand for logistics and warehousing solutions due to e-commerce growth and shifting consumer preferences. This demand is particularly pronounced near urban centres, where last-mile logistics facilities play a crucial role in meeting the needs of consumers who expect fast delivery. Despite these demands, the market faces a constrained supply, with limited high-quality industrial spaces available due to land scarcity and planning restrictions.

As a result, rental growth in the industrial sector remains strong, with favourable supply-demand dynamics making this market highly attractive for investors. Green building practices are also gaining traction, as more tenants and investors prioritise sustainable and energy-efficient industrial facilities. This shift aligns with broader environmental and social objectives, underscoring the long-term value of sustainable assets for portfolios.

At Clear Capital, we see significant opportunity in this sector and are actively expanding our industrial holdings. Our approach includes targeting underserved properties, investing in flexible spaces that can adapt to tenant needs, and prioritising sustainable developments. This strategy allows us to meet the market's evolving demands while enhancing the resilience of our portfolio.
