Logistics

In the warehousing and logistics segment, the positive momentum observed in the second half of 2024 has carried into 2025, with the first half of the year characterised by increased leasing activity. While persistent market uncertainty may weigh on activity going forward, several factors point to a continued rise in demand for storage and production capacity, and the segment remains notably resilient.

Transaction Market

The improved investor sentiment evident at the end of last year has been sustained into the first half of 2025. Supported by expectations of continued strong occupier demand and stable rental levels, logistics continues to stand out as an attractive investment segment. Year-to-date, logistics assets have accounted for a smaller share of total transaction volume compared to 2024, reflecting a weaker overall market rather than diminished appetite for the segment. Logistics represents around 17 percent of total volume so far this year, amounting to approximately NOK 6.6 billion. Prime yield for warehouse and logistics assets is at 5.50 percent as of August, down 25 basis points from 5.75 percent in Q1 2025.

Rental Market

Leasing activity in the logistics sector gained momentum through the second half of 2024 and has remained strong into 2025. Heightened geopolitical risk, rising trade barriers, and expansion within both the pharmaceutical and defence industries are expected to further fuel demand for domestic production and warehousing capacity.

Rental levels have stabilised at elevated levels. Prime logistics space in the Oslo core region is currently at NOK 2,000 per square metre, while last-mile facilities closer to the city centre are still achieving NOK 2,200 per square metre. In established parks outside Oslo, such as Berger and Langhus, rents remain stable at NOK 1,700 per square metre.

Outlook

The logistics market is expected to maintain its resilience throughout the remainder of 2025. Geopolitical uncertainty, rising trade barriers, and industrial expansion are all likely to continue driving demand in the segment. At the same time, a constrained supply side is expected to sustain upward pressure on rental levels in the most attractive logistics parks. Investor interest in logistics is anticipated to remain high, from both domestic and international capital, over the coming period.
