CBRE GI acquires a portfolio of 16 logistics assets

CBRE Global Investors has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of 16 logistics assets totaling 250,000 sqm on behalf of one of its separate account clients. Metrovacesa and Parques Intermodales Gran Europa have sold the portfolio that is located in the third ring of the Henares corridor, along the A-2 motorway (Madrid-Barcelona), which constitutes one of the main logistics hubs in Spain.

The portfolio consists of 16 properties leased to 10 logistics operators, such as DSV, Luis Simoes, FM Logistics, XPO and Logiters. The occupancy rate is at around 94% and the properties are of a high quality construction, with good access and proximity to the A-2 motorway and the R-2 toll highway, which make them a great choice for carrying out logistics activities.

Jose Antonio Martin Borregón, Managing Director Spain and Portugal, CBRE Global Investors, said: „The acquisition of this logistics portfolio confirms our interest and confidence to build on our already existing long track record of investments in this sector in the Iberian Peninsula.“

Jeroen de Grunt, Portfolio Director Separate Accounts Continental Europe, CBRE Global Investors, said: "Our client is actively acquiring logistics assets across Continental Europe. This high quality portfolio has an attractive tenant mix and shows a clear upside potential.”
