As India moves closer to a $5 trillion economy, investor perspectives on real estate are evolving. The country is no longer just a hub of office buildings and services; it is becoming a global engine for manufacturing, high-speed delivery, and consumer spending. While there aren’t any standalone warehouse REITs on the ticker tape just yet, these are expected to be introduced, and, in the meantime, existing office REITs are already cashing in on this trend. By leveraging their excess land and strategic locations to build urban delivery centres and industrial parks, these office REITs give investors a stealthy entry into the logistics revolution. Unlike office buildings, where rent is usually fixed for many years, many premium malls operate on a revenue-sharing model.
