Richard Lake, Director at Cordea Savills, comments, "These recent purchases further underline our pan-European credentials and our ability to source attractive deal opportunities in a highly competitive marketplace. Belgium and the Netherlands are extremely well located for access to the North Sea ports and for distribution of products across Europe with easy access to this densely populated region of Western Europe. As such, logistics facilities are in high demand from occupiers and investors alike.
"As is common across much of Europe, industrial-related properties tend to deliver high and dependable income returns to their investors. To have secured these properties on such terms gives us confidence that we will deliver a significant proportion of the required return to our investors from the income alone."
