Where is the logistics real estate market heading? “As always, the all-decisive factor is money.” In the 8th episode of the series, Sabine Wieduwilt interviews Peter Salostowitz, author of “Logistics – ESG – location – infrastructure – adapted buildings,” which is a chapter in Implementing ESG into Real Estate Contracts. Needless to say, Peter is an expert valuator for logistics real estate. In this interview, Peter reveals what led him to switch from office buildings to logistics real estate, how he set up his own company and how he approaches the valuation process. He takes a critical view of ESG: “I assume we are heading towards the end of ESG, but as the EU, we will first go full throttle again.”
