Axis, the last mile logistics platform founded by Pictet and Stoneweg, has acquired two strategic properties at Steinfurtstraat 9 in Zwolle and Park Forum 1119-1121 in Eindhoven, two key logistics locations in the Netherlands.
These purchases follow the recent launch of Axis in September. Axis is seeking to create value through investing in high-quality warehouses located in prime urban and last-mile locations within the Randstad area and select logistics hubs along the Dutch logistics corridors.
The warehouse in Zwolle is located on the modern Hessenpoort business park, close to major highways (A1, A28, A37) and just 15 minutes from the inland Port of Zwolle. The modern property, built in 2012 and 2019, comprises 10,846 sqm of high-quality warehouse space and is leased to a regional third-party logistics operator. The asset offers flexibility with a potential split in 2 or 3 units, excess land and has strong sustainability credentials with an EPC A+++++ label and PV-system.
The Eindhoven asset was bought off market from Edmond de Rothschild. It is located on the Park Forum business park close to Eindhoven Airport. This location is one of the best performing logistics markets in the country thanks to its perfect location in the Netherlands’ high-tech cluster, proximity to the airport and to the Netherlands’ 5th largest city. The asset of in total c. 6,612 sqm was built in 2012 and is leased to an international third-party logistics operator. The high-quality asset also offers flexibility as it was developed in two units with an attractive 12 and 16 meters free height and has strong sustainability credentials with an EPC A label and PV-system.
Simon Geldmann, Head of Germany & Benelux – Direct Real Estate at PAA, said: “Axis is responding to the structural demand for flexible and energy-efficient space we continue to see across the key logistics locations in the Netherlands. Both assets are strong additions to the portfolio and offer users the ability to service national as well as international markets from here.”
Gijs Vissers, Director Transactions Benelux at Stoneweg, commented: “After launching Axis in September with eight properties, these two high-quality, well-located acquisitions are strategic additions to our growing portfolio which now totals 77,000 sqm. We still see strong market fundamentals and will be further growing the platform.”
