The Logistics

Sector

The stability of the logistics real estate sector in Israel has led to continuous growth and rising land and rental prices. This sector has shown consistent expansion in recent years and demonstrates greater stability compared to other segments of the real estate market. Due to the regional security and geopolitical situation, Israel functions as an isolated hub, with borders that require heavy reliance on maritime and air trade, as it is mostly surrounded by countries with which it has no direct trade relations. As a result, the logistics real estate sector in Israel continues to evolve and adapt to challenges, developing sophisticated transportation infrastructure that enables efficient goods movement and logistical solutions—thus maintaining its stability even in times of uncertainty.

E-commerce-Driven Growth

The rapid rise of e-commerce has become a key driver in the evolution of the logistics real estate sector in Israel. Over the past decade, shifting consumer behavior and the accelerated adoption of online shopping have fueled growing demand for advanced logistics facilities. These assets play a critical role in enabling efficient inventory management and fast distribution—positioning logistics real estate as a vital backbone of the modern digital economy.

Location, Location, Location

The strategic location of logistics assets is a key factor in their planning and development. Proximity to airports and seaports provides direct and efficient access to both local and international markets, significantly reducing transportation time and costs. Additionally, being near major highways and transport corridors ensures fast, convenient connectivity between industrial zones, storage centers, and population hubs—enhancing supply chain efficiency and reducing operational expenses.

Financial Stability

The logistics real estate sector is characterized by high stability, low risk, and reliable long-term returns. Thanks to consistently strong demand for distribution hubs, warehouses, and logistics centers—especially amid the continued growth of e-commerce—these properties typically maintain high occupancy rates. This inherent stability, combined with relatively low construction and maintenance costs, makes logistics real estate an attractive investment class, often valued at low capitalization rates.
