CARLSBAD, CA—Industrial investment’s winning streak should extend into 2018, in the view of investors and brokers polled by Real Capital Markets and SIOR. The newly issued Real Capital Markets/SIOR Investor Sentiment Report finds that 90.3% of brokers and investors believe investment activity will remain comparable to recent levels. Slightly less than half believe that activity will increase, even if only marginally; this view was more widely held by brokers than investors.

“The industrial sector continues to draw a wide range of investors, due to its stability and the potential for long-term growth,” says Steve Shanahan, executive managing director at RCM. “That equilibrium and other market dynamics make industrial investment properties the preferred option among a wide range of investors. We don’t foresee a dramatic shift in the near term.”
