Abstract

On the basis of the international standards the value of logistic real estate can be measured following the cost approach, the sales comparison (market) approach, the income capitalization approach and the discounted cash flow. This chapter presents the standard criteria adopted for every type of real estate asset and describes the key issues relevant for evaluating logistic real estate on the basis of its specific market features. Focusing the attention on the European area, the analysis presents also some descriptive statistics on the performance by area and by type of asset in the logistic industry.
