Panel: Logistics Investment in Australia 2025

Australia’s logistics sector continues to attract global investors with trades of warehouse assets having surged 40 percent in 2024 to A$7.2 billion ($4.6 billion) as buyers from Australia and overseas are expected to expand that total by a further 38 percent in 2025, according to a recent report from Cushman & Wakefield.

With cap rates averaging around 5.85 percent nationally, the market has seen a surge of major deals in the opening months of this year. These transactions include Barings partnering with Aware Real Estate to buy a Victoria business park for A$600 million, as well as Stockland notching A$800 million in separate partnerships with KKR and M&G Real Estate in February as the company also tallied a warehouse portfolio sale to PGIM Real Estate.
