"Last year, modern halls fully confirmed their importance and the infrastructure for modern business has proven to fly the flag for the European economy in every situation, even in the deepest quarantine and recurring lockdowns. E-commerce in Europe grew by more than 27%*, which is significantly reflected in the demand for additional space. At the same time, logistics and, to some people‘s surprise, industrial production experience growth. In 2021, we will certainly welcome other important tenants from all of the three sectors in our portfolio," comments Milan Kratina, Chairman of the Board of Accolade Industrial Fund.
“We believe, that the development will continue in the year 2021 year as well. With the advancing revolution in production and especially with the massive revolution in shopping, the demand for modern and sustainable halls is likely to increase. Industrial real estate is, therefore, a great investment opportunity and I am glad that in November we opened active distribution in Slovakia, where our Fund met great interest from the start," added Kratina.
