Realterm completes acquisition of two logistics facilities in Rotterdam

Realterm, an independent global investment manager focused on the transportation industry, today announced it has acquired two logistics facilities in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Europe's largest seaport.

The first property, Schuttevaerweg 96, is a 5,750-square-meter strategic final mile logistics facility featuring 4,700 square meters of logistics space. Its efficient design boasts an industry leading door ratio of 1:150 square meters complemented by a secure, fully fenced parking area. The property’s dual-purpose layout offers a 2,109-square-meter “cross dock” area and a 1,084-square-meter warehouse, allowing final mile or port related transload users to quickly transport goods through the building enabling faster delivery times. The property is currently leased by logistics service provider, Berser Shipping.

The second acquisition, Nieuwesluisweg 184, is a 5,193-square-meter strategic transload facility featuring 4,800 square meters of warehouse space and 389 square meters of office space across two stories. The property contains three truck-sized level access, six loading docks, seven truck parking spaces, 14 car parking spaces, a 7.5-meter clear height, and one ingress/egress point for the streamlined transfer of goods. The facility is currently vacant and available for lease.

“These acquisitions in Rotterdam enhance our strategic position in one of Europe's premier logistics hubs,” said Balazs Lados, Managing Director. “The Port of Rotterdam's unmatched connectivity and robust infrastructure make it an ideal location as we continue to expand our logistics portfolio across key European markets.”

Rotterdam represents one of the key logistics markets in Europe, influenced by the proximity to the Port of Rotterdam, one of the world's busiest ports, solidifying its position as an ideal logistics hub. The Rotterdam area is closely connected to several major highways and Rotterdam The Hague Airport, capable of serving various European markets.

“The Dutch logistics market has experienced sustained growth and demand, demonstrated by Rotterdam’s sub-1 percent vacancy rate and strong rental growth,” said Robin van der Sluis, Asset Manager - Benelux. “With low vacancy, strong rental growth, and a prime location, the acquisition of these properties aligns seamlessly with Realterm’s investment strategy.”

Realterm’s advisors in both transactions included Deloitte, DLA, SGS and Briq.
