In a recent article available on Commercial Property Executive, Alex Redfearn, founder of Redfearn Capital, shared his insights on the booming demand for industrial logistics properties. Dermody Properties has successfully closed its fourth commingled fund, DPIF IV, raising over $1 billion. The fund will focus on value-add, single-asset, and development projects targeting logistics facilities in key U.S. infill locations. Redfearn highlighted that the surge in demand for well-located industrial spaces is driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce and the need for efficient supply chains, making the logistics sector an attractive long-term investment option for institutional investors.
“The logistics sector has become ‘hot’ due to the rapid growth of e-commerce and the increasing demand for faster, more efficient supply chains,” Redfearn added.
“Companies prioritize strategically located industrial spaces to reduce delivery times and streamline operations.
