AXA IM - Real Assets has agreed to acquire a prime logistics development site in France’s logistics ‘Atlantic Corridor’. The site will be purchased from Quartus Logistique, the French developer specialising in logistics real estate, who will be retained as a developer.
The site, which is due to complete in the third quarter of 2021, will comprise c.30,000m² of modern and flexible Grade-A logistics space, spread across five units and complete with wrap-around offices and plentiful parking spaces. The property will be built to high environmental standards, to achieve a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ certification.
Strategically located in Ayguemorte-les-Graves, to the south of Bordeaux, France, the site benefits from excellent power and transport infrastructure links, as well as a good supply of local labour. The site sits in close proximity to the A62 (connecting Bordeaux to Toulouse). The area benefits from strong underlying demographics, with Bordeaux being ranked in France’s top ten most populated cities.
