The retail market is also finding its footing, with well-located retail properties backed by strong corporate tenants offering some certainty and stable income, while at significantly less yield than industrial. Regarding the future of traditional office spaces, STNL properties are prized for their sense of security, given a strong tenant choice, which makes them more attractive in today’s market.. Notably, there has been a shift in the buyer pool, with more investors increasingly recognizing the stability and potential of STNL industrial assets, solidifying their place as a beacon of reliability in an ever-changing real estate landscape.
