How industrial real estate is set for transformation in a 5G-powered world

Right now, the developed world is on the cusp of a fourth industrial revolution, and it is set to have a more transformative impact on everyday life than the three revolutions before it.

A fundamental change in how we live, work and transact will have a knock-on impact to how industrial real estate is used and valued. This disruption presents both opportunities and challenges for investors – industrial real estate will see some big wins as 5G is rolled out, but not every asset will have the potential for gains.

Read about how the fourth industrial revolution, powered by 5G, will profoundly change the nature of industrial real estate.
