Aviva Investors Real Estate France, a subsidiary of Abeille Assurances, formerly Aviva France, has acquired, on behalf of one of its principals, a “core” logistics warehouse in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, as part of a sale and lease-back from a distributor specializing in heating, plumbing, and spare parts.
This high-quality logistics warehouse, with a surface area of approximately 26,000 m², was built in 2016 and extended in 2020. It has very good technical characteristics and a BREEAM Excellent environmental certification.
The asset is located in the Ecofactorij business park in Apeldoorn, conveniently located at the junction of the A1 and A50 motorways, an hour’s drive from Amsterdam and the German border.
Grégoire Bailly-Salins, Director of European Investments Aviva Investors Real Estate France comments: “The acquisition of this quality warehouse, leased for the long term to a solid tenant, benefiting from strong connectivity with the Ruhr region, the Eastern Europe and the Randstad, allows us to consolidate our presence in the Netherlands, one of the most established logistics markets in Europe.”
