Immologistics, a determining factor in logistics operations, must respond to special needs that complicate projects. Energy efficiency, safety and ease of movement of people and goods are aspects to consider. An element that is conditioning the design of the most modern ships is the use of robotic solutions.

The boom in e-commerce is generating a growing demand for logistics spaces and buildings. Projects in which energy efficiency, sustainability, aspects related to safety and ease of movement of employees, goods and vehicles are aspects that must inevitably be considered.

The incorporation of robotics is beginning to condition the design of logistics warehouses. The thrust of large logistics platforms is being overcome by nodes, more disseminated and specialized logistics points, and closer to delivery points, cities and their peripheries.

Currently, the profitability of real estate dedicated to logistics activities is higher than that offered by the premises intended for use as homes or businesses.

From the point of view of the design and construction of logistics facilities, new technological developments and the generalization of new ways of building, such as BIM, are giving rise to more sustainable buildings, with unprecedented thermal and ergonomic comfort. The result is more efficient and profitable constructions, by achieving economic savings and labor improvements.

The possibility that the logistic real estate market suffers a bubble is attenuated by the role that electronic commerce will play, which will continue to grow in our country in the coming years, a circumstance that predicts successive positive exercises.
