Industrial REITs own and manage industrial facilities and rent space in those properties to tenants. Some industrial REITs focus on specific types of properties, such as warehouses and distribution centers. Industrial REITs play an important part in e-commerce and are helping to meet the rapid delivery demand. 

Companies such as Amazon, Home Depot, and Walmart rely on these REITs for last-mile delivery and distribution.
