Tristan/AEW Europe Fund to invest in €250m German logistics parks with Dachser pre-let
EPISO, an opportunistic real estate fund co-advised by Tristan Capital Partners and AEW Europe and Helios Europe, the European logistics specialist developer, have teamed up to invest and develop three strategically-located logistic parks in Germany with a projected end value of c€250 million. Known as the Link Logistics Project, the three locations, Air Link Park Berlin, adjacent to the new BBI Airport, Direct Link Park Leipzig, near Leipzig Airport freight hub, and Inter Link Park Ingolstadt, close to the Audi HQ and A9 motorway in Bavaria, will provide up to 350,000 m² of Grade A space for Europe’s leading logistics companies.
The joint venture exchanged contracts unconditionally for the purchase of the fully serviced and consented land in Autumn 2011. The JV has also secured its first pre-leasing to European logistics specialist Dachser GmbH & Co. KG for approx. 15,000 m² of high quality warehouse and offices space at Air Link Park, Berlin. The company operates from over 310 worldwide locations and covers almost every sector of the supply chain business. The joint venture is confident of strong leasing uptake across its three parks and plans to commence further development in 2012.
Commenting on the news, Helios Europe CEO Mike Hughes said; “We are delighted to have teamed up with Tristan Capital Partners and AEW Europe to invest in this superb opportunity. The three locations are extremely well positioned to meet the needs of our target customers, each offering high profile space with excellent access to, road, air and rail infrastructure. Dachser’s decision to choose Air Link Park Berlin reinforces our confidence in the German market and the Link Logistics locations. We expect a number of other European and International customers to sign up for new space with us in the coming months and we are pushing ahead with measured speculative phases to meet the anticipated client needs.”
