Logistics Centre Proximity and Its Impact on Land Value
Why do parcels near ports, airports and logistics centres gain value? An analysis of Türkiye logistics infrastructure and investment strategies.
The Impact of Logistics Centre Proximity on Land Value
With the growth of global trade and the expansion of the e-commerce sector, logistics facilities are becoming an increasingly decisive factor in the land market. Parcels near ports, airport cargo terminals, railway transfer hubs or large logistics warehouse areas gain value as demand for these facilities increases.
Logistics Infrastructure Development in Türkiye
- Expansion of the capacities of Istanbul, Izmir, Mersin and Trabzon ports
- Middle Corridor and Trans-Anatolia railway projects
- Logistics organised zones (LOJOB) connected to OIZs
- Planned cargo and warehousing facilities near airports
Which Parcels Gain Value?
- Industrial/logistics-zoned parcels within a maximum 10–15 km of ports and cargo terminals
- Land close to truck parks or bonded warehouse zones
- Properties positioned on the transport axis between an OIZ and a main port
- Large parcels with frontage on roads of high carrying capacity
Investment Strategy
Logistics-driven land value appreciation generally accelerates not during the construction phase but when the facility becomes operational. An investor positioned before the facility opens therefore achieves the highest return. In terms of rental income, logistics parcels stand out with their long-term and strong tenant profile.
