Industrial Sector Attracts $1.7 Billion in Investment Capital as Values Gain. Driven by the increasing value of industrial properties, two investment firms have attracted new capital targeting the sector. Last year was a mixed year for the industrial sector. Buyers significantly scaled back their investments as higher interest rates affected demand and price discovery, according to CoStar data. Industrial property sales were down by 50% from 2002. New capital raising from industrial fund sponsors also suffered. Industrial funds launched in 2022 attracted $28 billion. That fell to $22 billion for funds launched in 2023. https://lnkd.in/ef9MP8Za #investment #propertyinvestment #realestateinvestments #industrial #industrialsectors #industrialrealestate #industrialproeprtysales
