Internet business or retail booming, they are basically rather the same for logistics business.
If people don't buy through online, people will buy through retailer/malls.
Both channel need logistic services.
The difference is instead of bulk delivering to malls, with internet business it turns out to be door to door service for logistics offering companies.
The booming one is businesses that offering door to door service, while for logistics reit that their main business is lease out empty warehouse to logistics business companies, they may not reap as much.
In fact, if internet business lead to more efficient in term of goods deliverying, and can get rid of "middle man" storage, the need of large storage may become lesser, just like JIT system can reduce the needs of storage issue.
The mian problem of logistics property is that they (empty warehouses) are easily replaceable.
If next door warehouse offering cheaper rental, tenant can easily move out as compared to factories, and retail malls (whereby prime location has tremendous crowd that other place couldn't offer)
For Mreit, Atrium case is the good reference whereby the short WALE and tenants turnover issue causing the DPU to be yoyo in some period of time.
Anyway, don't get me wrong, I don't mean negative on logistics reit, in fact, I agree logistic has good long term view, but location of those logistic properties also an important factor, that we need to aware of logistics reit risk as well.
