Goodman completes 2011 with over 1 million m² of new developments
Goodman Group has completed an extremely successful year with a total of 1,032,000 m² of new pre committed developments secured across Continental Europe in the 2011 calendar year, with the Group achieving record results in Germany and Poland. The number of deals signed, many with repeat customers, confirms Goodman's position as a European leader in the development and management of logistics space. The Group has a solid financial position due to its proven business model, which focuses on selling completed developments to its managed funds, including Goodman European Logistics Fund (GELF).
Goodman has a total of 3.8 million m² of logistics assets under management across 11 countries in Continental Europe with an overall occupancy of 97%. As a long-term owner of logistics properties, Goodman can offer customers the best possible quality, while the Group’s strong capital base enables it to realise projects with flexibility, cost-efficiency and speed.
“2011 was a very successful year for us across Continental Europe where we have signed a total of 1,032,000 m² of new pre-committed development deals, with an end value of approximately €595 million,” said Danny Peeters, CEO Goodman Continental Europe.
“Our financial outlook for 2012 is sound; Goodman has a strong pan-European platform with the backing of a leading global group. In light of the current economic environment however, we will retain our prudent business approach and be selective in terms of the investments that we will undertake,” he said.
Peeters highlighted the impressive 672,000 m² of new development projects signed in Germany in 2011, including four significant pre-committed developments for Amazon. “This exceptional result underlines Goodman’s position as the market leader in the development and management of logistics real estate in Germany,” he said.
In Poland, Goodman signed approximately 145,000 m² of new development deals, with over a third of these at Goodman’s Kraków Airport Logistics Centre. Goodman will commence the construction and commercialisation of Pomeranian Logistics Centre at Gdansk in the first half of 2012. The development represents Goodman’s largest project in Poland, with a target area of 500,000 m².
