Here is what Baron Real Estate Income Fund has to say about Terreno Realty Corporation (NYSE:TRNO) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

Though we expect rent growth to moderate from its frenzied pace of the last few years, we remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for industrial REITs. With industrial vacancies at less than 4%, new supply expected to moderate in 2024, rents on in-place leases more than 50% below market, and multi-faceted demand drivers including the ongoing growth in e-commerce and companies seeking to improve inventory supply-chain resiliency by carrying more inventory (shift from just in time to just in case inventory), we believe our investments in industrial warehouse REITs like  Terreno Realty Corporation have compelling multi-year cash-flow growth runways.”
