The 67,000 sq m portfolio is comprised of three state-of-the art facilities – one existing and two currently under development. The prime logistics facilities are strategically situated along the Dutch logistics corridor in the towns of Venlo, Ede, and Helmond, and are closely connected to the country’s major cities, ports, and airports. The portfolio is 100 per cent pre-let to three domestic and international tenants.

Christian Goebel, Co-Head of Macquarie Asset Management’s Core/Core-Plus Real Estate strategy said: “We are delighted to continue to expand our logistics footprint in the region on behalf of our investors. With its strategic position along the spine of the EU’s supply chain networks and future-facing facilities, this portfolio will help meet the demands of tenants and consumers as the digital economy continues to evolve.”
Erik van Dijk, owner of VDG Real Estate said: “The Dutch logistics market has continued to demonstrate strong growth despite recent supply chain pressures. As we continue to meet the growing need for logistics facilities, highly experienced stewards are required to support this growth; this we have found in Macquarie.”

Douglas van Oers, Co-Head Logistics & Industrial at Savills in the Netherlands, says: "In today’s market, it is a real challenge to acquire high-quality logistics assets. Such an opportunity does not present itself every day. We proudly leveraged both our local and international network to assist Macquarie Asset Management. We are delighted to have been part of the acquisition of such an outstanding portfolio.”
