Logistics properties still in demand… but more vacancies.

The article discusses the demand for logistics properties, such as warehouses and distribution centers, during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there was initially high demand due to increased freight and e-commerce, there is now an excess supply of industrial space, leading to higher vacancy rates. However, vacancy rates remain historically low in Europe and North America. The article also mentions the potential for growth in the logistics and cold chain industry in Mexico, particularly in the storage and transportation of temperature-controlled food. It briefly touches on the use of robotics and automation in warehouses to improve efficiency. [Extracted from the article]
