Realterm completes temperature-controlled logistics acquisition in Bleiswijk, Netherlands

Aug 28, 2025

Realterm, a global specialist in transportation-advantaged logistics real estate, announced today that it has acquired two temperature-controlled final mile facilities, Klappolder 2 and Klappolder 140-142, in Bleiswijk, Netherlands.

The properties offer a total footprint of 17,913 square meters on a 29,469-square-meter site and feature 32 dock doors. Located in the heart of the Dutch Randstad area, the facilities provide access to a population of 6.5 million within an hour's drive time and offer superior accessibility to all major cities in the Netherlands.

“The Netherlands has become a cornerstone market for Realterm as we continue building our European portfolio,” said Balazs Lados, Managing Director, Fund Manager at Realterm. “Cold storage facilities like these are increasingly scarce assets that provide essential infrastructure for modern retail supply chains, making this acquisition a natural fit for our growth objectives across the continent.”

Both properties are fully leased to D-Logistiek, a logistics company responsible for the logistics operations of Dirk Supermarkets, a Dutch supermarket chain. The temperature-controlled facilities serve as critical final-mile distribution points for the grocery retailer's cold chain logistics network.

The strategic location in Bleiswijk positions the facilities at the center of Netherlands' most densely populated region, enabling efficient last-mile delivery to major urban markets including Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht.

“The Dutch logistics market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and growth potential,” said Piet van de Ven, Investments, Benelux at Realterm. “We're seeing sustained investor confidence driven by strong fundamentals – from e-commerce expansion to the Netherlands' position as Europe's gateway – which creates compelling opportunities for well-positioned assets such as these.”

Realterm was represented in the transaction by Savills and DLA Piper. Seller was represented in the transaction by De Mik Real Estate Partners and Loyens & Loeff.
