Industrial real estate refers to the total land and cultivated land used by all industrial land, as well as buildings and appendages on such land, which is different from the fourth type of land other than residential, commercial and comprehensive land. Buildings that can be built on industrial land have a wide range of uses, including industrial manufacturing plants, logistics warehouses and industrial R&D buildings. In China, the land lease of industrial real estate is 50 years.

The data shows that under the influence of many factors, such as industrial transfer, China's industrial technology upgrading, the country's promotion of key industrial parks, and macro-policy regulation of residential real estate, the demand for industrial real estate has steadily increased, the investment value has gradually emerged, and the rental and sale price of industrial real estate has steadily increased. Take Shanghai as an example. In 20 10, the rent trend of the whole industrial property market in Shanghai showed an upward trend, and the growth rate reached the annual peak in the third quarter, with the average rent increase as high as 1.65%. The industrial real estate industry has maintained a good development momentum. First of all, domestic housing enterprises have entered industrial real estate, the pressure of strong regulation of residential real estate and the hidden worry of the "Great Leap Forward" of commercial real estate, and domestic housing enterprises have begun to focus on industrial real estate. According to incomplete statistics, 15% of traditional real estate developers switched to industrial park construction projects. Secondly, a large number of international capitals such as Prologis, Amber Real Estate, Maple Real Estate and Jia Min Group have targeted the China market and increased their investment in China. Thirdly, private equity funds, venture capital and trusts have entered the industrial real estate field in China, bringing new financing methods for industrial real estate. According to the analysis, investors are keen on developing industrial real estate, which is related to the low development cost of industrial real estate. The land investment in industrial real estate is relatively low, and the benchmark land price is only a quarter or even a fifth to a tenth of that of commercial real estate. Therefore, the entry threshold of industrial real estate is much lower than other real estate categories, and the investment subjects of industrial real estate will be diversified in the future.
