Industrial Building Sales
The Los Angeles industrial real estate market is financialized. That means pricing reflects accepted investment principles. Investment buyers, flush with private capital, are searching for smaller and older buildings than what you would normally expect from fund level buyers. Assets owned by individuals, corporations, families, and partnerships are being sold to large investment groups, funds, and REITS. It started with “Class A” buildings but escalated for almost all industrial buildings with low interest rates after the Great Financial Crisis. Activity surged during Covid, levelled off during the recent period of higher interest rates, and is regaining strength with more capital allocations hitting almost all industrial properties that generate long-lasting income.
