“Since we started investing in the logistics sector in 2015, we have not seen a market environment with such compelling fundamentals. The COVID pandemic has accelerated certain behaviours, such as consumer reliance on e-commerce, which mean that these assets are now in higher demand than ever. As one of the most experienced owners and operators of logistics property in Europe, we are focused on owning and developing state-of-the art assets to meet this demand and delivering sustainable risk-adjusted returns for our investors,” said Toby Phelps, Managing Partner and Head of European Equity at BentallGreenOak.
