Axa IM Alts, part of Axa Investment Managers, has confirmed the acquisition of a logistics centre in the Netherlands.
The transaction, for an undisclosed amount, has expanded the group’s €9bn global logistics portfolio.
Axa IM Alts said the transaction for the 61,000 sqm asset, based in Bleiswijk, would deepen its exposure to the strategic Dutch market and be “characterised by robust fundamentals and constrained supply”.
Completed in December 2020 and fully leased, the logistics centre comprises warehousing and office space and is located within the Randstad region.
In line with Axa IM Alts’ commitment to acquire, develop and manage sustainable real estate assets with strong ESG credentials, the scheme achieved BREEAM Outstanding certification and features rooftop PV panels and heat pump systems.
Head of transactions Belgium, Netherlands & Luxembourg at AXA IM Alts, Bernard d’Ocquier, commented: “Having patiently monitored the Dutch logistics market for attractive entry points, this acquisition reflects our strong conviction in the fundamentals of the asset class and the resilience of the Randstad region.
“The asset is fully leased to a high-quality occupier with a strong market position, underpinned by diversified operations across both physical and online retail - sectors driving sustained demand as e-commerce continues to expand.
“Its grade-A specifications, sustainability credentials and strategic location make it fully aligned with our core investment strategy of targeting prime assets and building long-term partnerships with market-leading logistics occupiers.”
