Savills Investment Management (Savills IM), the international real estate investment manager, has completed a forward funding for a new logistics development in the Schiphol area of the Netherlands on behalf of a German institutional investor. The seller of the property is developer AM, with construction being carried out by Bouwbedrijf Aan de Stegge. This marks the second transaction under the investment mandate to build a European logistics portfolio, the focus of which is on high-quality core assets in established prime logistics locations. The first acquisition was a newly built logistics centre in Hamburg-Billbrook, which was added to the portfolio at the end of 2024.
Alongside Tilburg, Rotterdam and Venlo, Schiphol is one of the most sought-after logistics hotspots in the Netherlands. Its immediate proximity to Schiphol Airport as well as the Port of Amsterdam ensures resilient long-term occupier demand. The property itself is being developed as a state-of-the-art logistics facility offering approximately 45,000 square metres of lettable space, above-average construction quality and flexible usage options. The development will be built using sustainable construction materials and equipped with a photovoltaic system on the roof areas, enabling tenants to use the electricity generated on site. The property is targeting BREEAM “Excellent” certification.
The project is located in Schiphol Trade Park, the first business park in the Netherlands to receive BREEAM area certification. Completion of the distribution centre is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. A first lease agreement has already been signed with logistics service provider Van der Helm Logistics.
