title: High and Mighty? The influence of ceiling height on competitive viability of Dutch logistics real estate
creator: Holsappel, Maarten
description: This thesis aims to provide data on the effect of ceiling height on competitive viability of logistics real estate. This understanding is necessary to explain how and where lower logistics buildings become more economically irrelevant as time progresses. Utilizing data from the national building registry, combined with their height obtained through remote sensing, correlations between ceiling height, year of construction and location are measured for logistics buildings. Statistical analysis makes it clear that there is a small positive correlation between ceiling height and time, meaning that lower-built warehousing facilities have become more scarce over the years. Additionally, buildings outside of functional urban areas have, on average, higher ceilings than those inside. These observations are in line with economic theory, but crucially use systematic data analysis to underpin common observation with empirical evidence. Even so, regardless of the positive effects of clustering in the logistics sector, the niche market segment outside of functional urban areas is still a profitable one and should certainly be taken into account by real estate investors and logistics enterprises when exploring settlement options.
