Foreign investment in Greater Los Angeles/Orange County/Inland Empire (GLA/OC/IE) industrial assets nearly tripled year-over-year,  ranking the region number one for foreign investment in 2018, according to CBRE Research and Real Capital Analytics (RCA).  Investment of $910 million accounted for 6.3% of all foreign industrial investment in 2018 in the United States – the most in one region. Since 2010, foreign investors have poured over $52 billion into US industrial assets with GLA/OC/IE accounting for nearly one tenth of overall cross-border investment volume. During this time, advancement in e-commerce and omnichannel supply chains have added value to industrial assets creating investment opportunities in both suburban areas like the Inland Empire and urban areas like Los Angeles and Orange County.  Since 2010, the most active buyers originated from China, Singapore and Canada, representing 74% of the capital flow.  Moving forward, industrial/logistics assets will continue to attract foreign capital supported by positive fundamentals, e-commerce demand and a diverse local economy that is fueling user demand.
