TAG Industrial Watch: March 25, 2023
Since inflation continues to defy expectations, commercial real estate buyers are looking for alternative investments to keep pace with the cost of living. With food rising faster than any other major category in the consumer price index (Bureau of Labor Statistics), real estate investors are finding a solution in farmland that had a return of nearly 10% last year (Commercial Property Executive). Given that the U.S. is the leading exporter of agricultural products, American farmland is well-positioned to benefit from a future in which foreign currencies significantly gain in value against the U.S. dollar. As long-term inflation expectations go from a non-concern to a rude awakening, new opportunities will emerge in the industrial real estate market. Agricultural processing facilities may be rarely thought of today but could become the industrial market’s next hot commodity tomorrow.
