Realterm has acquired two logistics facilities in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Europe's largest seaport.
The first property, Schuttevaerweg 96, is a 5,750m2 strategic final mile logistics facility featuring 4,700m2 of logistics space. Its efficient design boasts an industry-leading door ratio of 1:150m2 complemented by a secure, fully fenced parking area. The property’s dual-purpose layout offers a 2,109m2 “cross-dock” area and a 1,084m2 warehouse, allowing final mile or port-related transload users to quickly transport goods through the building enabling faster delivery times. The property is currently leased by logistics service provider, Berser Shipping.
The second acquisition, Nieuwesluisweg 184, is a 5,193m2 strategic transload facility featuring 4,800m2 of warehouse space and 389 square meters of office space across two stories. The property contains three truck-sized level access, six loading docks, seven truck parking spaces, 14 car parking spaces, a 7.5-m clear height, and one ingress/egress point for the streamlined transfer of goods. The facility is currently vacant and available for lease.
“These acquisitions in Rotterdam enhance our strategic position in one of Europe's premier logistics hubs,” said Balazs Lados, Managing Director. “The Port of Rotterdam's unmatched connectivity and robust infrastructure make it an ideal location as we continue to expand our logistics portfolio across key European markets.”
Rotterdam represents one of the key logistics markets in Europe, influenced by its proximity to the Port of Rotterdam, one of the world's busiest ports, solidifying its position as an ideal logistics hub. The Rotterdam area is closely connected to several major highways and Rotterdam The Hague Airport, capable of serving various European markets.
“The Dutch logistics market has experienced sustained growth and demand, demonstrated by Rotterdam’s sub-1% vacancy rate and strong rental growth,” said Robin van der Sluis, Asset Manager - Benelux. “With low vacancy, strong rental growth, and a prime location, the acquisition of these properties aligns seamlessly with Realterm’s investment strategy.”
Realterm’s advisors in both transactions included Deloitte, DLA, SGS and Briq.
